As the first week of the Santos administration came to a close, the new Senior Staffers were getting used to a new routine, and the experienced ones were getting used to their new posts in the administration. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to the weekend, since it was two days that they didn't have to worry about the White House, unless the nation was in immediate danger.
However, before the Senior Staff got to the weekend, there was still quite a bit of unfinished business to take care of. For example, Lou and Annabeth still had to make a formal announcement to the press corps about Josh and Donna's wedding plans. They did just that as the last official briefing of the week.
Lou opened up the briefing by talking a little bit more about the situation in Kazakhstan. She said, "Now that President Santos has talked to his defense staff, they have a better idea about their plans for the region. They plan to go in sometime this week, and will not use violent intervention unless it is deemed necessary."
After Lou made her brief statement on Kazakhstan, Annabeth entered the press room, with Lou saying, "Now here's Annabeth with the status of Josh and Donna's wedding plans."
Annabeth said, "Thank you, Lou. Okay, Josh and Donna have definite plans for their wedding. "They will be getting married on October 21 in Manchester, New Hampshire. The best man will be Deputy Chief of Staff Sam Seaborn and the maid of honor will be former White House Chief of Staff C.J. Cregg. Other plans will be made closer to the wedding date."
The press simply cheered to this statement, saying things like, "That's where Bartlet lives!" and "It will be a beautiful wedding." The big reaction was, "Hallelujah! They set a date!"
Lou followed up by saying, "Any questions about anything that was covered this afternoon?"
One reporter did have a question on the situation in Kazakhstan. She asked, "What do you mean 'deemed necessary'?"
Lou replied, "If their people attack us first or something like that, then we will use violence over there. Any more questions?"
Nobody said anything. Annabeth then ended the briefing by saying, "Okay then, that's it. Have a good weekend!"
The reporters replied, "Same to you, Lou and Annabeth."
After Lou and Annabeth left the press room, Lou turned to Annabeth and asked, "Are you going to Josh and Donna's party in the residence?"
Annabeth replied, "Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Lou said, "I'm going too, what time is it again?"
"7:30," said Annabeth. "Gives people enough time to finish up their business here and to go home and get changed."
"Cool. See you there," said Lou, as she and Annabeth headed to their separate wings.
