《Sophie Swan: P.L》Chapter thirty four:
Advertisement
Today is Emily and Sam's special day. I went round to Emily's house to set up with Sue and Leah, I walked into the kitchen of the home to find Emily doing some finishing touches to her cake.
"Wow."
"Hey, Soph what do you think?"
"It looks so good, I bet the boys will be dying to tare into that."
"Well, hopefully, they don't make too much of a mess."
I laughed at that. "So, where's Leah? She said she'd show me where everything is going."
"Leah and Sue are down by the side of the house getting all the chairs out of the boxes."
"Cool, I'll see you later, unless you need help in here."
"No, I should be good for now, I'll call if I need anything."
"Okay."
I walked out of the house and down the side of the home, to find mother and daughter getting chairs out of boxes and piling them ready to place side by side on the alter.
"Hey, Sophie, did you wanna grab that pile there and we'll get started on placing them by the aisle?"
"Yeah." I picked up the small pile of folded chairs and followed Sue and Leah to where the wedding will commence.
It took around half an hour to set up all the chairs, the next job was to decorate. We had a few boxes filled with fairy lights, candles, streamers etc. We made sure that the setting was perfect for Emily and Sam and by the time we were done the backyard looked magical.
Guests were meant to arrive in around five hours, so that gave us plenty of time for Leah and me to do some finishing touches and set up tables while Sue got Emily ready.

We walked into the home, grabbed the cake, placed it on the table carefully, and cleared the kitchen, ready for the reception food and drinks to be displayed. Emily and Sue had gone upstairs to get ready, while Leah and I went to her house to get ready before making our way back to greet guests. The wedding was for a small number of guests, mainly the pack, the tribe council and their family, and my dad, who was Sue's date. I'm really happy for them, my dad deserves to be happy.
Everyone took their places on either side of the alter, Paul and I sat next to each other, he was wearing a tux that made his muscles pop, he looked gorgeous. The priest came and stood at the front and soon came Sam in his tux, a few moments later Emily came walking down the aisle with a mid-length dress that flows behind her, her hair was slightly curled, but down with a headpiece keeping it in line. Emily and Sam met at the end of the alter and the ceremony began.
After the ceremony, everyone began to chat and eat cake while Emily went back into the kitchen and cooked the rest of the food. We wanted to give her a break from being stuck in the kitchen, but she didn't mind. It wasn't like she was missing out on conversation as a lot of us were in the living room and dining area talking to her. With a few taste tests here and there.
I cannot wait for my own wedding. Which is in two weeks after Sam and Emily's wedding.
They decided not to go anywhere for their honeymoon as they were planning on having kids within the next year or so, so they wanted to fix up the house and work to earn as much money as they can to save for this child/children.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
