WHO: Megan, Hestia, Mary, and.. ?
WHEN: Sunday, 4pm
WHERE: Jones' house in Ballycastle
WHAT: Bridal Shower!
RATING: PG
STATUS: Open to: Hestia, Gwen, Mary, Meghan, Pippa, or anyone reasonably close enough to Hestia to be invited!

At 4:00 in the afternoon, Megan was standing by the door, waiting to greet the guests. The dining room in her mother's home was set up with all sorts of homemade (read: Megan-made) treats, and there were beverages available, including but not limited to tea, lemonade, and pitcher of Hugo cocktails*. The arrival of Jones, Paterson, and Diggle women, in addition to Hestia's friends, was a little overwhelming. Some of the family members were staying the night, so Megan had spent the morning preparing guest rooms in addition to setting up for the party. As the maid of honour, she felt very accomplished, albeit a little tired.

By 4:02, she decided that waiting by the door was not terribly practical. Besides, the balloons outside looked inviting. Perhaps people would just walk in. Megan didn't mind that at all. Keeping her ears focused and listening for door noises, she stepped into the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. Her sister was getting married. In the flurry of activity surrounding preparations, Meg hadn't spent much time sitting and processing the thought. She was happy about having a brother, especially when that brother was Dedalus. (She thought Hestia Diggle was a somewhat funny name, but she'd never, ever share that with anyone.) The pair really was a perfect one, and she was glad for it.

The sound coming from the foyer could only be her grandmother. The older woman had a very distinctive voice and very noisy shoes, click-clacking across the Jones' floor before reaching a rug. Megan smiled. It was lovely to be around so much family. Before she went to greet her grandmother, though, she noticed a plate of biscuits sitting on the counter. Leaving them in the kitchen wouldn't do. She picked them up and hurried for the door, intent on setting them down with the other snacks before greeting people again. She nearly caused a collision on the way out. "Oh, Merlin! I'm sorry! It's alright, we didn't spill any!" At least she'd forgotten her water.

OOC: Comment if you'd like, and please tag your characters as they enter.

*I don't even know if it's a good idea to make a whole pitcher, but it's prosecco, mint leaves, and elderflower, and it's tasty, and it's a refreshing drink to have in summertime. (:
