Bastien turned his head for a moment and noticed Riley heading the other direction. Returning to facing forward he says, "That's some woman you have there. If I may say so sir, you seem happy even with the current situation." Liam replies, "I am Bastien. However, it may be in your best interests to be included on a need to know basis. Not that I don't trust you." Bastien nodded he understood it was for his own safety. As Liam continued speaking, "That being said I will be needing to escape for a while." Bastien chuckled before saying "When were you planning this sir I will make it easy for you."
"I was hoping to escape after the meeting today" Liam responded before adding, "Hopefully that will be enough time for them to prepare otherwise it will have to wait until after the bridal shower." Liam quickly texts Drake with the two possible choices as he heads into his meeting. Drake received the text from Liam just as Riley had arrived at the hotel room he shared with Maxwell. Once Riley was inside and the door closed behind her Drake said, "I've got two dates and times. Liam would really like to do this before the bridal shower if we can manage it."
Riley bit her lip thinking a moment before replying, "It's possible we just need a place to hold the ceremony and a room for afterward. I'm sure you and Maxwell can get Liam a basic suit. You two could wear one of your old ones I don't need anything fancy. Hana can wear one of her dresses so there's not a lot of shopping to be done. The only other thing we'd need is someone licensed to perform the wedding in New York. Since it's a small wedding party we might be able to use Central Park." Maxwell says, "I'd offer to marry you two but I am not sure my license is good outside of Cordonia."
Riley nodded saying, "I will call Daniel he may know someone who can." While Riley was on the phone Maxwell and Hana worked on finding a honeymoon suite available. Drake got a hold of the boutique asking if they had matching men's suites. Taking the time to list the sized needed to the clerk on the phone. He waited as she checked their inventory. Soon she was back on the line saying she did have three in the sizes needed but they were purple. He figured why not agreeing to all three with white shirts. There was a pause with her saying she'd have to check. He asked her to look into matching ties while she was at it. She returned to the phone a second time telling him she had three white shirts in the sizes need but could only find black bow ties that matched exactly. Drake told her he'd take them and ended his call.
Drake looked over to the group saying, "I've got our wardrobe taken care of. Hana you may want to get a matching dress the color scheme is purple." Hana nodded taking a moment to invite Olivia before calling the boutique for purple dresses in their sizes. Luckily the store had two in the needed sizes creating a big smile on Hana's face. Once she ended her call She looked to Drake saying, "We should go pick up the orders while these two find someone who can marry Liam and Riley." Drake nodded and left with Hana to pick everything up. Soon they returned arms loaded with clothing. Once they were fully inside Riley said, "You can tell Liam we are all set for today. It seems that Daniel's husband's sister is licensed and she's thrilled to help out."
Hana walks straight to Olivia saying, "We should get ready." She then turns to Riley saying, "You too. You know we gals take longer then the guys will." Riley nods her head before adding, "We should do this in my room so Liam can come here to change." Riley grabbed some of the bags heading out the door to her room. Once there they took turns showering and dressing. She had loved Olivia's shocked look when she stepped out in her wedding dress. Riley asked her, "Do you think it's too much?" Olivia shook her head no before squeezing her hand saying, "I just hope we can get through the whole thing before he steals you away for some alone time." Riley blushed at the comment doing her hair and makeup. Olivia found the white patches and asked, "What are these for?" Riley blushed again saying, "To cover my nipples. It's a stick in place bra, in a sense." Olivia looked at the dress before saying, "I approve of it as it is. You're going into war Riley better make sure he knows what victory will mean." Riley smiled squeezing her hand asking, "Will you be my maid of honor. Just a warning though if you accept you will likely have to walk with Drake."
Olivia scoffs grumbling out, "I think I can tolerate Walker long enough to make it to the front. It's not like it will be a huge walk and the ceremony will be short." Riley smiles adding, "At least the dresses aren't too bad. I've seen a lot worse." Riley suddenly frowns causing Hana to ask, "What is it?" Riley replies, "We didn't pick a meeting spot in Central Park it's a huge park." Hana frowns saying, "There must be a way to meet at the same place in the park. So we aren't wandering around for hours." Riley suddenly had an idea a bright smile coming across her face. She said, "They have carriage rides in the park, also a boat ride, or we could meet at the Balto statue." Olivia chimes in, "Liam would love the boat ride." Riley shakes her head no saying, "I vote for Balto he loves dogs." Hana smiles before saying, "I'm with Riley I am sure there is a grassy area near there we can use." Hana texts drake the information and waits for a reply. Soon Hana is giving a thumbs up before saying, "They are heading there now" I quickly text the girl Marrying us where to meet us. I smile saying, "She's on her way. Let's get going."
