After the taxi had left, the duo approached the place. It was a venue rented to host the wedding and the ceremony was about to be held in the tent arranged for that. It wasn't hard to get the information since they were both from the Police and here they were.

After a quick nod, Ohm and Fluke went to the area exclusive for people working at the ceremony and before they even tried to think about a plan to crash the wedding, destiny decided to help them.

"You two!", a man said, approaching them with a clipboard at hand, "you're late, but finally here! We don't have time so you go with this nasty cheap fabric anyway! Take a tray and go!", he pointed to a table next to the kitchen door in which the waiters were taking the trays and leaving with them to serve to the guests before the ceremony starts.

"What cheap fabric?! This is signed by a designer you--", Fluke couldn't follow his rant because Ohm had hugged him from behind, covering his mouth with one of his huge hands and the action made him freeze on spot and interrupt his anger. A novelty for both of them, by the way.

"Thank you, sir! Me and my colleague are on our way now!", Ohm said and then left with Fluke still mad behind him.

"I'm sorry for that, but that serves our purpose! Now let's split and find the groom and the bride!", Ohm said and was about to leave when Fluke held his arm. "What now?"

"Do I really look dressed for serving tables and not walk in a catwalk?", his eyes were seriously sparkling with unshed tears. It was insane that his major problem at the time was not to feel appreciated enough, but Ohm was ready to indulge his vanity.

"You're the most handsome face I had ever walked through and is dressed like you could kill me and then take me to hell -- which is probably correct! But now we really need to go, Fluke!"

The compliment made the demon speechless for a few seconds, but he soon regained his senses and moved to the direction Ohm was pointing.

Ohm was wandering by the hallways trying to find a clue of where the groom might possibly be at that moment while his mind was roaming with thoughts. Yes, he was a gentle man, but crashing a stranger's wedding like that was beyond any act of kindness even to his standard.

However, the moment he heard the man leaving the CEO's office with that sentence asking why his own father couldn't let him be with the one he loved, that touched deep something inside him. Too distracted with that unknown feeling, he barely saw when a man bumped into him.

"Oh, you! Enter this room now and serve a drink for the groom! The man desperately needs it!", the guy, probably the best man, pointed the way and left muttering to himself about finding something to calm down his own nerves.

It was like destiny was literally pointing with a big arrow the direction he should follow and he just went with it.

The groom, Ohm recognized the man from earlier that morning, was leaning on a window with a side view to the tent where the ceremony was about to happen. It was a cozy and elegant wedding at night and the beautiful fairy lights scattered around the garden made it feel like a dream scenario. The man sighed audibly and Ohm took that as his cue.

"Do you really wanna get married now or do you wanna do whatever your heart pleases you?", he asked in a monotone which made the man a bit startled, yet attracted to him.

********

Ohm was at the place he had previously texted Fluke saying he was waiting for him, but so far, not even a sight of the demon. The band started to play the music cueing the bride to enter the tent to start the wedding ceremony and when the lady was next to the altar, the groom grabbed the mic from the officiant's hand and started an emotional speech.
