There were three masked people at the beach wedding. The couple didn't know them, and were completely sure they weren't invited. They didn't really move or pose any threat, though. They were just kind of there.
One of them wore a heavily tinted astronaut helmet, a red oversized hoodie, jeans and red and white Jordan's. It sat in the third row, in the middle seat, questioningly tilting it's head as it stares at the groom and bride.
The other wore a black motorcycle helmet, a loose shortsleeved grey shirt with a long sleeved black shirt under it. Along with black ripped jeans and white high top sneakers. It sat in the front row, reacting along with the crowd.
The last one wore a cropped pink jacket with the hood pulled up, a grey shirt under it, pink high waisted jeans, along with pink wedged converse. It had a pink, bunny mask. It covered the front of her face, with a string to make sure it stays. Her pink hair covered her ears, and her clothes covered the rest.

The guests at the wedding were shocked to see them, but no one really objected. They answered to question, but didn't want to leave.

"So...would you like to move from my seat?" Uncle Mark asks the astronaut. It looks up at him, and pats its lap. Uncle Mark Laughs, shaking his head, "I'm not gonna sit on your lap!"
The astronaut gets up, and Mark sits down. Then the astronaut sits on Mark's leg.

"...I can work with this, fine," Mark sighs, laughing.
The astronaut nods.

"Eh-?! Mary you invited him? Who's this?" The bride's sister, Claire, asks, pointing to the biker. Seemingly nervous, the biker scratches the area behind his neck.

Mary, the bride, shrugs, "I didn't invite him, but he didn't do anything other than go to the bathroom and sit down...so.."
Claire looks at the biker, attempting to take off his helmet, but the biker shoos her away.
"Well where am I supposed to sit?" Claire asks, sighing. The biker gets up, and sits on the floor in front of the seat. Claire stays quiet for a moment, but then sits down without complaint.

"Uhm..." The bride's ex, Peter, nervously looks at the bunny, "Mary...no offense...but who...who is this?" Peter asks, fanning Mary over.

Mary shrugs, "They've just been here. I assumed she was a girl, asked her a couple questions, she's harmless,"

Peter looks at her for a moment, "Well you're in my chair.."

The bunny nods, slouching in the chair, opening her legs and sitting in a masculine way. She folds her arms, tilting her head at him.

Peter clicks his tongue, folding his arms, "Well I'm gonna sit on you," He threatens.

The bunny raises her fists, in a playful way.

Peter shakes his head, "I'm not fighting at a wedding,"

So the bunny shrugs, and moves to the seat next to Peters.
"Thank you," Peter sighs, sitting in his chair.

The rest of the wedding went smoothly. There were no arguments, though Mark and the Astronaut became pretty good friends. Once vows were said and they kissed, the biker was in tears. Of course no one saw, but Claire could hear, and softly patted his helmet.
Peter mumbled something about not wanting to come, and the bunny nodded in agreement. That basically settled their small argument.
The crowd all cheered once the newlywed kissed, and the biker cheered along with the crowd.

After that, there was an outdoor party. Champagne, wine, sodas and beers were out, along with the cake and snacks. The masked Group grabbed six slices of the chocolate cake, but wrapped it up since they would have to take their masks off to eat.
No one actually saw any of them drink or eat, but half of the cake was gone and what they packed up was also eaten up.
Most of the champagne was gone also, and the biker was stumbling around drunkenly.

"Eh- You Okay? I think you've had too much to drink.." Claire laughs, taking the bikers drink out of his hand. The biker leans on her shoulder, watching his friends explain something to Mary. They wrote it on a notepad, and Mary nods to whatever was on it.

"Okay guys!" Mary shouts, catching everyone's attention, "Clear a path from here," She points to the bunny, who sat on the entrance of the beach, "To there!" To the astronaut who sat at the one area no one was. It was far away from the party, so no one cared to go over there.
"It needs to be big enough for a pick up truck to pass through! Do not step in the cleared path!" Mary announces, and most people move and the others are dragged out the path.

The group gather together, and bunny takes off her mask. Under it, her eyes are a deep blue with large eyelashes. Truly, she's beautiful.
"We'd like to thank you all," She starts, her voice sweet and soothing while strong and courageous, "For allowing us to experience this lovely day. We know we came uninvited and may have caused a little...disburse. For that we apologize,"

She puts her mask back on as the astronaut takes his off. He has dark skin, dark brown eyes and many beautiful flowers fall out of his helmet as he takes it off.
"But also, that being married is just a title and probably won't be that important when the gods are deciphering whether you go to heaven or hell. No no, it'll only play a role in limiting your freedom, and bring bigger rewards along as consequences. For example, cheating on your wife is more harmful than cheating on your girlfriend," His voice is deep and cold.
But he smiles, "But we aren't here to tell you about that,"

The astronaut hands a black rose to the biker. The biker takes it, and takes off his helmet. He has green eyes and tan skin, Along with dark brown hair, "Mary, I doubt you remember us," He starts, handing Mary the Black Rose. His voice isn't deep or high pitched, but still nice to listen to. It's the perfect pitch.

"But we always knew you had a bad memory. We're proud of how much you've grown, and you've always told us you would find the perfect guy. We'll stop by every now and then to see if that's true. We won't remind you of who we are, but congratulations on the marriage, and on the pregnancy," The biker smirks on the ending, as several people go, "What?!"

Just then, a large black pick up truck speeds in. The bunny jumps on the roof of the truck, and the astronaut quickly climbs into the back.
"Oh, Happy day!" The biker shouts, jumping into the back of the truck. They kick down a box, and flowers spill out of the box, flying through the air. The truck continues to speed off, as the group all sit on the roof of the truck. They watch as the family all gather around Mary, congratulating  her and cheering.

"She'll forget us again," Bunny sighs, her hair flowing in the wind. The astronaut sighs in his mask, not answering.

"Of course she will. No one remembers the immortals," The biker puts his helmet back on.

"But we did good anyway. Maybe the history books will remember what people can't," The astronaut shrugs, looking at the sand in front of them. They're quiet for a moment, before the biker sighs.

"Maybe.."
