RECEPTION (subthreads welcome)
After the ceremony was finished, the guests were asked to step inside the White House temporarily. A large crew of people moved the chairs and and set up tables and a buffet and had everything ready to go in half an hour. A band took up the stage and started playing, which was the signal for everyone to come back outside for the reception.
Elaine was rather proud of what she'd set up in such a short amount of time. Being the President did have its advantages. She was just happy to see her son so happy.
