*****

My house has become the headquarters of the wedding.

Aurora was still asleep upstairs while Navi and I fixed the final touches in the garden. My living room was filled with center pieces that would be brought out as soon as the tent is up and ready. Chairs and tables were already piled up in my backyard as well as the coffee cart that Aurora requested. Thank god Navi was here because she had a better eye than me when it comes to the setups.

She went out to direct the few waiters we hired to help out tonight while I stayed in the living room, fixing the flowers that would be spread out in the venue into vases. The front door was left open so that anyone who needed to go straight to the garden wouldn't need to knock. Because of this, I didn't notice Charles come in holding bags of food in his arms. Behind him was Leo who was holding the same.

"We brought you guys some food." Charles said, making me look up from the flower arrangement I was finishing.

I followed them to the kitchen as they brought out the packs of food and Leo took some to the garden. "You are a gift from heaven." I said, moving over to give Charles a hug. Because the tent had to be fixed by ten in the morning, Navi and I didn't have time to cook breakfast and immediately went to work. Charles brought out a cup of coffee as well and passed it on to me.

"What do you need help with?" He asked as I took my own packet of food and brought it back to the living room while he followed me.

"Just pass me those flowers." I sat back on the floor and fed myself a spoonful of food before beginning another flower arrangement.

Before I could even place the flowers in the vase, Charles pulled them back and pushed my food towards me. "You have to eat first. Just tell me what to do." I smiled as we switched places but I still stayed beside him to give instructions.

Charles managed to make two flower arrangements until I took over and he went to the garden to help out. The chairs and tables were almost finished by the time I finished with the flower arrangements and brought them outside.

Three long tables had been set up in a U-shape, giving enough space for the dance floor in the middle. Ten brown chairs occupied each side of a table, housing sixty people that were mostly filled with Aurora and Leo's family and friends. The flower arrangements Charles and I made were set to be placed in the middle to separate the cutlery of each person. Hanging lightbulbs were also being placed to give a warm feeling to the venue as soon as the sun sets.

For each place, a handwritten notecard was set along with their names. On the other side of the tent was the bar and the coffee cart that Aurora requested on the opposite side. Right in the middle of that was a table reserved for the couple's favorite cakes. They threw away the idea of having a three-tier cake and instead bought ones from their favorite restaurants, assuring that everyone would enjoy a piece.
