| "We'll need the red rose petals for the bases of the decorations," Stark reminded her. "We need to ensure that those are fresh. Can't have wilted flower petals after all." He cracked a brief smile. "So yes. Flowers are taken care of, by and large, as far as I can tell. That should make it easy for the florist. The food is the next matter. We'll need to meet with the caterers, if memory serves correct."

| Ana nodded and glanced to the florist, who was also writing that down. She turned her attention back to the flowers again, touching one of the petals of the roses with her fingertips. "Alyn....?" She started as the florists started to clear the room of the samples so that they could go. "I'd like to have a garden. Can we do that here?" She loved the one she often fussed with on Naboo, but the climate there was so temperate that it was easy. Maybe it was too much of a request.
She turned her wrist and looked at the delicate platinum chrono that encircled it, and frowned a moment. "I imagine the caterers are here now. We have to pick a cake, apparently, and a few menu choices. I suppose it is good that I did not have breakfast."

| "Well, I could certainly convert one of the upper rooms into a garden for you. It'd be a simple matter of conversion... but it could certainly be done." Stark was already thinking over it, considering what would need to be brought in and what would be changed. He could already think of the room, one with greatly reinforced armored transparisteel that still let the sun in.
"We do still need to pick a cake, as well as foods. Would you like to take a break for a bit or continue on?"

| Ana had her mind on everything at once, so she hadn't really been paying all that much attention. "What? Oh....continue on?" She nodded some as she turned away from the flowers. "I told them to set up in the dining room, if that is alright. It was easiest, I thought, with access to the kitchens." Ana smiled some and then planted a tender kiss on his cheek before she would take his hand so they could move on.
She found herself wandering by his side, deep in thought. "I wonder if I could grow Lotus here. I mean....they take water....they live in water, not dirt, so it would be hard." With a sigh, she entered the dining room.

| Moving down the hall with Ana, Stark considered the amounts of food ahead that they'd need to see prepared for the guests. Even with a minority of guests arriving, it would still take quite a bit of food to be able to feed all the guests, who were likely to want a variety of foods. "Undoubtedly you can grow them here. You doubt how much remodeling can be done to the room I have in mind."

| "You do too much for me, Alyn. I hate to ask you to do that." She explained simply as she walked into the dining hall. "How many people are coming, again?" She asked as she looked at the ton of dishes that were being set out for them to decide on. "I think we should just choose a few things for the reception menu...as far as main dishes...so that the kitchen is not going insane trying to take care of a dozen different dishes. What do you think?" She asked as they were approached by the caterer that had apparently been chosen for them.
"Are there many that will be staying with us, Alyn?"

| "In all truthfulness, a small number of dishes would likely be best," Stark agreed. "Perhaps... enough for three courses. There is no need to be over-extravagant with the food, one can assume." He contributed a mental guest list for a moment. "Taking into account those who have responded, those who haven't and those who said no, I'd assume just a little under two-hundred will be attending the wedding. Incidentally, I did send invitations to Houses Garth and Volmen."

| Ana gave him a little bit of a shocked look. "Well it was best to do so, but have they responded?" She asked. In truth, she was unconcerned if they were or not, but she knew that Alyn would worry about something happening. Ana would take a seat at one of the tables and took a glass of water that was offered before she turned her attention back to Alyn.
"Are you concerned?"

| Stark shrugged as he idly stared at one of the tapestries within the room. "Not as of yet. I suspect they will accept at the last minute if they plan to do so. As for being concerned? Well, there is the normal level. I doubt they'll do much, and if anything will happen, the odds of it happening at the ceremony are quite small. If anything, I feel far more comfortable with them there than not. That way I know they're under watchful eyes."

| She drew in a breath, hesitating a moment. "But they probably don't approve of me, like I read that much of Malos does not." She started. That fact worried her very much. She didn't want anyone causing a scene and ruining the day for Alyn. Sure, it would have upset her greatly too, but he had his heart set on a perfect day.
"Something is on your mind, darling. I can tell. What is it?" She frowned a little and sat her glass down on the tabletop before she reached to take his hands in hers.

| Squeezing her hand reassuringly, Stark turned to look at her. "The important members of House Malos approve. That is what matters, my love. Saying that 'much of Malos' does not approve is buying into the tabloids. I have it on good authority that disapproving members are a minority." He paused and sighed for a moment. "It's not so much that there is something on my mind, I simply want this day to go off without a hitch. I am taking great steps to ensure that this is also the most amazing day of your life, or at least among the top three."

| Ana shook her head some, frowning a little. "Top three?" She asked, wondering what he meant by that. Ana would release his hand then and pick her glass back up and take a sip of the water. It seemed at times that sipping on water or sometimes just plain soda was the only thing that kept her nausea at bay. She didn't like to or want to concern Alyn with any of that though. They had too much to do.
"Why don't you pick the entrees, dear heart? Nothing in here even smells remotely tempting....or good....to me." She said. It wasn't anything against the caterer at all, but her own hormones acting a mess.

| "Well, the top three. I mean, the day our son is born is likely to be one of the happiest days of our lives too. There's always room for a good number of best days ever." He winked at her. When she released his hand, he stretched, sighing for a moment when he came back to the position he'd been in before. "I'll pick them then. Why don't you step outside for a few minutes and I'll join you?"

| Ana smiled slightly and stood before she kissed his cheek lightly and flounced from the room with her glass. The baker wasn't there yet, or if he was, he was in the kitchen, which was just fine with her. Once outside on one of the balconies, she waited patiently for Alyn, quietly contemplating the events that were going to unfold over the next couple of weeks.

| Stark picked out a number of dinner options. Some included nerf, some fish, some a mix of all sorts of things, all which blended well together. Perhaps some twenty minutes later, he emerged out on the balcony next to Ana. "Do you feel better in the air, my love?" Granted, the air was rather cold this high and somewhat more thin, but it was a pleasant day, and the heat from the surrounding desert often warmed the air.
