| Nearly an hour after the wedding, the time which would have been spent by the guests enjoying appetizers and cocktails, Ana and Alyn would arrive at their own reception. The time had been spent taking photos by themselves, and then with the wedding party, and also a few minutes alone for the two of them. It had been a big day for both of them, a long day at that, and the ten or fifteen minutes alone at least gave Ana a chance to decompress some and take in what had just happened.
It had gone beautifully, the entire wedding, and without even the slightest hiccup that either of them had been told about. By the time they actually made it to the reception hall (After all of the formal photos and even the candid ones that she knew she would love best), Ana felt ready to make greetings, have a wonderful supper, and then dance the night away if Alyn would let her.
The hall was everything she had hoped that it would be; decorated with thousands of white lights and flowers and crystals. White linens and china and flickering candles. Exactly as she had described to the wedding planner. Ana smiled a bit and glanced up to Alyn, whose hand she was holding tightly. "It's like a fairy tale." She whispered as they walked in and they were announced as Mr. and Mrs. Alyn Stark.

| [Stark's Reception]
[Landing pad/Reception Hall]
Wedding gifts were in order! And lucky enough for the Starks, Tu'Rot was on the attendees list and sure enough, he brought just the gift, or gifts rather. For a good portion of his time after the wedding, Tu'Rot stood outside of his shuttle and watched as the gift was unloaded. 4 undercover Black Hand agents were busy with the gift, with of course the patriotic Senator from Acherin yelling at them to be careful at every move they made. "Be careful with that!!!" Screamed Tu'Rot, looking at the remote control of the gift. As they loaded the gift onto the hover cart, the 4 men would stand by the gift as well as place a big bow on it. Being that this gift was of a very awkward nature, Tu'Rot felt best that the gift remain outside, for the personal viewing of Stark. However for his lovely bride, the Senator would grip the gift for her with two hands as he walked inside. His gift to the bride was of course, a toaster oven... directly from Acherin. Complete with it was the Acherin logo on the side of it, followed by the 12 piece accessories that came with it! No better gift then that, of course. Tu'Rot was dressed in his traditional tuxedo covered by his usual trenchcoat with the Acherin Armband strapped onto his right arm.
Entering the Reception Hall, Draken balanced the two gifts, placing the wrapped toaster oven with the rest of the gifts, however keeping the remote control for himself. Walking over to the food, the man would begin to indulge himself as well as grabbing a few drinks to make his event more pleasant. Finding his name at the table, Tu'Rot would sit down and begin to chow down as everyone would make their way. He'd engage in conversation with those at his table, laughing loudly as well as expressing his loyal views of the Empire... all while explaining what a great man Stark was, though not mentioning a thing about his bride... all because he had never met her in person before. Still... Tu'Rot would keep his eyes open for Stark, wanting to make sure that his gift was given to him in person.

| It had indeed been a busy several hours, and Stark was still feeling refreshed and on the ball, which surprised him somewhat. With the pictures taken, and he was assured they'd look very good, and their entrance made, Stark wrapped his arm around Ana's waist and kissed her on the cheek. "I quite agree with you. I think the decorators outdid themselves by a good length. This is actually much more than I expected." With a grin, he stepped back a pace.
"I feel like I shouldn't be keeping you all to myself right now. This is your chance to get out and enjoy yourself here, my wife. We may as well say hello to all the folks who've come all this way." With the large guest list, there were likely to be a number of people for the new couple to say hello to and mingle with.
Around the Starks, the varied Shadowguard, still dressed in their finery, mingled as well. The reception was sort of a reason for everyone there to relax, at least a bit.

| Senator Domon had arrived slightly late to the wedding, but he'd managed to make the reception. Slithering in dressed in Sluissi finery of green and gold, he was more than ready to greet the couple, and in addition he'd brought certain gifts. For Stark, the man who had everything, as one could assume, Domon had brought a specially modified Flare-class assault fighter from Sluis Van Shipyards as a gift, and for Ana, he'd brought a specially built and designed luxury transport craft. Both vessels were in the hangar of the ship he'd left in orbit.
Looking around, the Sluissi senator saw a number of familiar faces; his actual seating placed him across from Tu'Rot and one seat to the left, allowing him to converse easily with others at the table.
Toben Domon
Senator, Sluis Van

| Having passed through the security measures long prior, Ryuun was in attendance as well (and incidentally, directly across from Tu'Rot and seated next to Domon). The newly-elected sector senator wore a gray suit, as he was wont to do, touched up with a nice green tie and in general, still looked the part of the bureaucrat. The wedding had been a pleasant affair, so he'd thought so far and the reception promised more of the same.
While Ryuun couldn't say he knew Stark (or Ana) particularly well, there were people he was looking forward to seeing here nonetheless. Senator Thanatos was one such person; he'd seen little of her after the Droid Uprising, which was a shame. Her agreement to speak for his case within the Ethics Committee had been kind and pleasant though. As the newly-wed couple entered, Ryuun turned slightly to see them better, conscious of the wedding gifts.
Having not quite known what to bring, Ryuun's assistants had picked out some lovely jewelry for Ana. Ryuun had been unsure what to get for Stark; the man was an arms dealer and a philanthropist, so an engraved weapon made to fit the man's statistics seemed fitting.

| "Lomen!" Ilanah exclaimed as he came near to the table. The usually reserved senator jumped to her feet and embraced the man, then kissed him on both cheeks as she greeted him. "It's so good to see you. Wasn't that just a lovely wedding? I love weddings." She said before she took a step back from him.
Her wedding had been much simpler than this, actually, both times she married Kal it was. This was quite beautiful and elegant and it seemed that Ana had good taste. Then again, anyone who worked for Aryemis Vanden, and who had won the heart of Alyn Stark for that matter had to be a classy and tasteful woman. She had only met the young lay once or twice and it was pretty easy to discern.
The senator would take her seat again, which happened to be at the same table. Her husband was not present at the moment, but he had told her he would come and meet her if he concluded his business trip in a timely manner. Caden was with her though, as Stark had said it was fine to bring the baby, and Riley was lumbering near the doorway until Kal would show up, if he could.

| The Imperial side of things was represented at the wedding and the reception as well; Moff Shirnoq cut quite the dashing figure in his uniform, but he was there as a friend to Stark. It was strange for the Moff to see the high number of senators in the room; he did not often deal with them during the running of his sector, but on the far side of the table, he spotted Representative Lekpin, who'd come from Imperial Center to attend, and then much further down, a number of the members of the Ruling Houses. That was an interesting twist to Shirnoq, who well knew the animosity certain Houses bore for Stark.
As the pair entered, Shirnoq nodded to them from where he sat. His own gift to Stark was planned to be a little more subtle, but no less appreciated. It was nothing large; simply a piece of paper, but what it contained, Shirnoq felt, would make Stark quite happy.

| Roman Lekpin had attended the ceremony as well, although some of his backers in House Garth had protested. Nonetheless, Lekpin silenced them with the fact that it would have been rude not to attend the wedding of the man who'd saved his life and then held his position while he was healing. For Lekpin, who found the ceremony itself to be heartfelt and beautiful, the reception was a bit awkward for him. Despite his work in the Senate, Lekpin did not often mingle with those he worked with, preferring his solitude while on Imperial Center. Thanatos, Tu'Rot, Domon, Ryuun and all the others were still a bit of a mystery to him. The only man he recognized well was the Moff, and only then because of his work within the Kanz Sector.
Lekpin had brought a small gift; an expensive holocamera for the couple so they could always have their new lives together recorded for themselves. The holocam was quite top-of-the-line, with a number of features such as being waterproof, shockproof and even fireproof to a certain degree, as well as containing a number of filming modes and light options.
For now though, Lekpin remained at his seat, quietly watching those around himself.

| Denying a wedding invitation was rather very rude on his home world of Dantooine. However deciding not to be rude, the Administrator would grace the man's reception and then would leave back for his home world. As his shuttle landed, Ray proved that he wasn't just for showing off as he helped unload a keg of alcohol made directly on Dantooine. Utilizing a cart, Exar would push the keg into the reception room, where it was appropriately marked, "Mr. and Mrs. Stark." Once his gift was dropped off, Old man Ray would examine the room and seeing some faces that he knew. Coming across Senator Tu'Rot however, he couldn't help but grin. "Great... the lapdog is here..." However, looking for Stark, Exar Ray would break the traditional ice and meet with him and his new bride. Approaching Stark, a hand would be extended followed by a, "Congratulations on the wedding." As well as bowing before his new bride. "It is indeed a pleasure to meet a young woman of extreme beauty." Raising himself up again.

| "TOBEN!" Yelled Tu'Rot in a exciting manner. Jumping up, the man would rush over to the table and proceed to shake hands with the Slussi Senator, rather thrusting his hand into Senator Domon's. "No hard feelings in the Senate, I'm sure!!!" He proclaimed, before slapping Senator Ryuun on his shoulder and doing the exact same thing. "Lomen, good to see you too, my friend!!! He would yell as well, smiling as he looked over to see Senator Thanatos with the family. "Ilanah!!!" He'd claim, pace-walking over to her and the family. Following suit, he'd force his hand into her hand and shake it violently before letting it go. "How nice to see you again!" Returning to his seat, he'd eat, drink, and proceed to flap his gums again. However, Xane would find displeasure in the man's excitement. "You call that Slussi an un-patriotic being, take the designs he made for you and ran with them... and you're friendly towards him..." Draken smiled. "Your point?" Xane just sighed. "Genius..."

| While she felt perfectly safe, as it was her own home, Ana kept a grip on Starks hand so that he wouldn't leave her alone. "Please don't? I don't really know many people here." She gave him a genuine smile. "You'll have to introduce me." Ana did know some of the faces; the ever familiar Shadowguard, Jendos, her friends from Naboo, Senator Thanatos, and few others. She turned her gaze to Exar Ray when he approached.
"Mr. Ray, it's so nice to finally meet you. I've heard much about you. Thank you so much for coming to our little...." Ana cast a glance around and smiled some at her own joke. "Our little wedding." She found the jest quite amusing and was sure Stark would also. The truth was, the ballroom was huge and beautiful and there were a ton of people to meet and talk to.

| Having seated himself, close to where the bride and groom were to be seated, Merced contended himself with pouring a glass of wine and beginning to drink. As Stark's best man and Head of House Malos, Merced was one of the more notable Lorrdian figures at the table, alongside Tommen Garth, whom Merced shot a wink at and received a glower in return, and Phillip Volmen, who was at least neutral towards House Malos, if not Stark himself.
"A toast to the happy couple," Merced raised his voice over Tu'Rot's talking. "To Alyn and Ana Stark, may their lives be long and fruitful!"
Jendos Merced
Head of House Malos

| Seeing a number of known faces and some a little less known, Stark turned to smile at Ana and squeezed her hand in return. "Senator Ray, a pleasure to have you here," Stark said as Exar made his way over to them. "I'm glad you were able to come. I'm sure Dantooine keeps you quite busy, but still, a true pleasure." In the background, Stark could hear Tu'Rot's voice, and then Merced's toast.
Waving to his friend, Stark chuckled and looked back at Ana. "I think he put that rather well."

| "No hard feelings at all," Domon murmured as he was rushed by Governor Tu'Rot, who just as quickly rushed away to speak to Ryuun. The Sluissi felt a little out of place at the largely Human reception, but it would have been rude to refuse the invitation and, unlike some senators such as Cambrist, who'd apparently refused to attend because of... well, Domon didn't quite understand why. He'd always pegged Cambrist as too egotistical and stuck-up anyway. The fact that the man hadn't come was something as a plus.
When the toast was made, Domon raised a glass with the rest of them before idly sipping from it. He'd decided to put in a bit longer before going and presenting the Starks with their gifts.

| "Ilanah, a pleasure as always to see you," Ryuun greeted her warmly as he saw her. "It was indeed a lovely reception. Quite pleasant and I daresay I'm happy for the man. He did always seem a bit stressed while in the Senate. One can only hope he'll do better now." When Tu'Rot came over, Ryuun suppressed a wince as the overly-loud Governor of Acherin proceeded to do his thing before heading off. The man did tend to wear on one's patience, but his loyalty was quite unquestioned; it was one of the few things Ryuun liked about Tu'Rot.
"So how is the family coming along, Ilanah? The family and your... well, issues from the Droid Uprising, let us say."
