Wedding Day Blues

Elliott
Things just keep going wrong today. I had a flat tire and then my brakes went out and I made it to the guard rail. I called for help and they were hit by a drunk driver of all things. Finally I am standing here dressed in my tux after being robbed by someone who I thought was offering to help me. A police report later and my vehicle towed to a mechanic. I was picked up and helped get dressed to get married with a black eye and a cut above my brow. Christian suggested makeup for both and I figured I should just go with it and Kate could fix the photos later. Her group is great at doing those things.

Kate
Two of my nails broke and my hair is a mess but Christian had people come over and did everyone's makeup and he sent the guy over to do Elliott's makeup. I tried to ask him why Elliott needed his makeup done, but he left very quickly with the guy. The other staff started doing everything they could to make us all presentable and ready for the wedding. Soon dad appears and asks me why Elliott has black eyes? We are finally at the altar and Elliott has makeup on. I can't ask him why at this point. Everyone looks great and I am nervous anyway. Elliott has a look on his face and he asks the minister if he can place the wedding bands on my finger after he buys new ones. Apparently he had the wedding bands on him when he was robbed today and the guy took them. So we used Elliott's grandparents wedding bands to get married with. Apparently they were on a necklace that Grace wears just at weddings to bring them good luck. She brought them up to us. They fit very nicely. Now Elliott has to tell me what happened.

Christian
I went to gather Elliott from the police station and dad ran interference for us. We stopped by my penthouse to get him dressed in his tux. The elevator got stuck and we had to go freight elevator. The security team flew us to the wedding venue and we got a police escort from a friend of Rays. I got the makeup guy to fix Elliott's face for him. They styled his hair to cover the cut above his brow. He needs to go to the ER after the wedding, but he plans to stay for the reception as well. I hope he makes it.

Grace
The men are keeping things from us. There is no doubt about it. Anastasia is trying to get information from Christian but he isn't talking. Lyle is flirting with Mia and Roger has his eyes on one of the young ladies who has no date. Annabelle is trying to be good today. I am glad I wear my parents wedding rings to weddings and they have brought good luck to the brides and grooms. Something tells me that today has not gone the way Elliott planned for it to go.

Anastasia
Things are going, but not smoothly. I think I saw Elliott wince from pain. Christian won't tell me what happened this morning that he had to leave so quickly with Jason and two more security. He told me to wait for security to arrive to go get ready for the wedding. Kate has been a huge bundle of nerves and has had all kinds of little things go wrong today. We had to calm her down. Her dress was misplaced and her flowers were sent to the wrong place. The wedding cake had to be placed in a freezer and the catering trucks weren't allowed to enter the garage until they were cleared. Then they had to move quickly to get things completed. Several exes of Kate and Elliott tried to sneak inside. They caught them and had them removed by the cops. We aren't sure how anyone found out about the place and time of the wedding but they did.

Lydia
I caught a couple of people trying to sneak into the wedding and reception. Ray had security hand them over to the police. Paparazzi tried their best as well, but the ones we spotted were exes of the bride and groom. They were very obviously not invited to the wedding because they didn't have the colors that the bride and groom requested along with the tiny flower pinned on them. Plus no name tags. I helped with those along with the rest of the ladies. Kate came up with the idea to keep wedding crashers out and it worked.

Ray
Anastasia and Christian didn't have as trouble as Elliott and Kate have getting married. The things that happened to them today boggles the mind. We found out who robbed Elliott and the police will return his possessions after the trial. It didn't take a genius to know the wedding bands were new and engraved Kate and Elliott Grey and the wedding date being todays date was stolen. He told the thief he had to call in his partner because of the diamond quality and the platinum bands. The guy was arrested and he still had Elliott credit cards and wallet with his identification inside it. He had a hundred in cash in the wallet as well. So everything will be returned. His ID, credit cards and cash were returned. The keys were in the floorboard of his car for the tow truck driver.

I am sitting here waiting for my attorney to bail me out. I don't usually get caught so quickly if at all. Leave it to me to rob a man on his wedding day and the rings are in his pocket, plus they are engraved with the couples name and todays date as their wedding date. I can't win today. We punched each other but I won with my gun. I had him empty his pockets and took off with everything he had on him and in his car.
