When:Friday night, starting around dinner time
OPEN/Multiple threads/tag warnings on your threads as needed

The lobby of the hotel is mostly unchanged, other than the furniture all being pushed to the edges of the space to make an impromptu dance floor. There's a small stage set-up on one side, during the first half of the night there is just a computer there, it's set to auto-play a variety of music but there is also the option for guests to play a specific song jukebox style.

One another side of the room there are food and (non-alcoholic) drinks set up. Everything is catered from through the door and it's mostly finger foods, appetizers, and small tapas-style plates, everything kept warm on electric warmers. It's enough for a meal if someone wants to sit down or they're all easy enough to graze on through the night. The drink station here is all non-alcoholic and features waters, sodas, and a few custom punch mixes.

Separated from the main food/drink setup is a bar table. It is well stocked with basically an entire bar's worth of liquor, various mixers, fruits, and garnishes. There is a mixed punch here too, this one spiked.

About an hour after most people arrive, Richie and Eddie will start gathering up anyone close to them and directing them into a smaller meeting room off of the lobby. Once in there they'll find what is basically a small wedding setup, rows of chairs lined up with a small altar at the front. (The doors to this room won't be shut at any point, so even people who aren't close to Richie and Eddie would be able to see or sit in if they come across it) Richie and Eddie will renew their vows in a small ceremony led by Loki before leading everyone back out to rejoin the party.

Once they get back, the "DJ station" will be pushed off to one side of the stage and a karaoke machine will take front-and-center. The food tables will be condensed and one replaced by a dessert table, featuring a cake, a couple of pies, and a candy buffet.

The food tables would be taken in once most of it was gone, and Richie and Eddie would wander off sometime after midnight, but the rest would be left in place as long as people want to stay.

Richie, Open to multiples at different parts of the night

Richie wore a well-fitted suit for the night, though once the ceremony was over his bow-tie would have been hanging loose from his neck and by the time he was singing karaoke he would have misplaced his jacket as well.

He spent the early parts of the evening greeting people, moving things around if they were in the way, and doing his best to make sure people were comfortable enough to have fun. He spent most of the time with a plate in his hand, grazing and occasionally offering things up to other people.

Once everyone had mostly arrived he started gathering up their family, directing them to the side room without giving away much about what would be going on in there. And once the ceremony was finished, he'd rejoin the party with a broad smile, hanging off of Eddie's arm for a while.

A few drinks in, Richie would have started on the karaoke, stepping up whenever it seemed like people were too nervous to jump in. He would have been the first at the mic with an enthusiastic rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, figuring it would get people singing along and more comfortable. Then, throughout the night he would have ended up singing Eddie Baby while very dramatically acting like his husband wouldn't give in to him, and finally an almost impressive performance of I Believe in a Thing Called Love. He absolutely could not reach the high notes, but he tried every time. None of his singing was technically great, but he had a lot of fun with it and it was entertaining at the very least.

In between songs he would have drifted through the party, finding his way back to Eddie periodically but trying to interact with as many people as he could on his own too.

Richie & Ritchie (&Open)

It was cute, watching Richie think he was being subtle, when he had a smile you could see from Mars and he was clearly absolutely smitten with his husband. Who Ritchie could now see was absolutely fucking adorable in every way. It was a strange sort of pleasure to just watch them from afar now and then, mingling with their friends and family and clearly so at home in this place. Fuck, thirty years he'd said. No wonder he seemed so at ease.

Later in the evening, after his batshit performance of Queen, Ritchie happened to catch his eye at the drinks station. He gave him a genuinely warm smile, and then lifted his left hand to give him a wave, which let the little bell bracelet on his wrist jingle for a few seconds.
