Mike's and Alison's hopes of the snow clearing up in time for the wedding were futile. Violet had adopted these same hopes and now she was left feeling disappointed yet again. Her stress levels have gone down, yes, but she was still feeling quite antsy of being in the unknown.
Violet enters the room just as Alison's phone rings.
"Ooh, it's the wedding planner. Hi, hi, Martin."
Violet shares a look with Mike, they both were feeling a bit pessimistic about the wedding being able to go forward as planned.
Violet follows Alison as she hears what Martin has to say.
"- but the waiting staff are crying off so it might have to be more of a buffet situation."
Violet thinks fast and quickly whispers,
"I can help with that."
Alison nods back at her as she continues to talk to Martin. Violet informs Mike of the same thing and heads towards the kitchen to see if there is anything she can do to help the caterers.
As she walks through the house she comes across the ghosts talking about the wedding.
"I cannot bare to think of the joy that would have occasioned my own wedding day," Thomas wondrously said.
"Oh no, is Thomas off on one again?" Violet joked but no one heard her.
"Don't remember much of mine. Assume it was fun. Arrrghhh!" Julian signalled he had been drinking a lot during his special day.
"Nope, it's everyone," Violrt muttered to herself.
"Back in my day, if you see someone you like, you do it. You like someone else? You do it. Easy. No one know who their father is. But you raise children together. Peace and love." Robin rambles after grumbling distastefully at hearing about the monogamous experiences of the other ghosts.
"Bloody hippy, eh," Julian snorts as if he made the greatest joke.
"Julian, I thought we spoke about this!" Violet reprimanded him.
"Oh give me a break!"
After receiving instructions that she would be needed for some cooking later on, Violet walks back out and follows the Captain into the main drawing room.
She didn't realise Mary was there too until,
"Best cancel the wedding it be cursed!"
Violet tilted her head confused.
"No thank you, Mary," the Captain shut down her request quickly.
"Do you think we just cancel?" the deflated bride said, upset her wedding day was a shambles.
"No!" the Captain exclaimed. Violet smiled at him. She didn't expect for him to be so passionate about the day.
Violet takes a seat next to Mike as Alison and the Captain offer some reassurance.
"What do you think?" she whispers to him.
"We've got to figure it out one way or another," he replied as he watched them.
"What about the Vicar?" Violet asks him.
Mike thinks for a moment then stands up,
"Right, well, who's going to go out in this and get the vicar from the top of the... Me, it's me, innit?"
"Shot yourself in the foot there, mate," Violet smirks at him.
"All right, it's all part of the Button House service," he says as he leaves the room, grabbing a coat.
Alison turns to Violet,
"I think we should let the others know."
And so they enter the room.
"We're commandeering the ballroom!" the Captain explains.
