The following day.
Everyone gathered in the dining room for breakfast.
Laura looked at Sir Nicholas. "Father, Rebecca, and I will go to the town this afternoon to find a wedding shop that will provide the gowns and attire for the wedding," she said.
"Okay, Cooper will go with you. I will assign some guards to accompany you in town while you shop for wedding gowns," Sir Nicholas replied.
"Thank you, Father. I would like to take this chance to discuss the venue. Can we hold the wedding party here in the mansion? The perfect place would be in the backyard, where the mini-park was located. We'll put tables and chairs there and decorate the whole place with beautiful flowers and ornamental plants and turned it into fantasy land," Laura suggested.
"Nice, I agree with your suggestion!" Sir Nicholas said.
"I also want to know how many guests will attend the wedding day so that the caterer will have an idea in advance the amount of food and drinks to prepare for that special day," Laura added.
"Okay, I'll make a list of names of all my friends and business associates as well as my relatives. I will give you the complete list this weekend," Sir Nicholas responded.
"Thank you, Father. It's no rush, please take your time," Laura said. "By the way, we haven't fixed a date yet for the wedding day - when it will be?" she asked, looking at Cooper.
Sir Nicholas glanced at his son as well.
Cooper was contented listening happily to the discussion about the wedding plan preparation. He's happy now that Laura was getting interested in the wedding planning. "I want the wedding day to take place on Sunday, after lunch," he suggested.
"Okay, we will hold the wedding ceremony on Sunday afternoon, the second week of September, that would be September 16..." Sir Nicholas chose the date. "Any objection?" he asked the bride and groom.
Laura and Cooper shook their heads. "No objection, Father," they replied in unison.
"Good, we already have a date. Is there anything else we need to discuss about the wedding?" Sir Nicholas asked.
"Hmm, regarding the church. I had already chosen the nearest one here, and that's St. Peter Parish Church." Laura looked at Cooper for confirmation.
"I agree to the church," Cooper responded.
"St. Peter Parish Church is fine with me. Anything else?" Sir Nicholas asked, feeling energized and excited to discuss the wedding details with his children.
"About the wedding gown and wedding attire for the wedding entourage, the moment we can find the right tailor shop, we can start taking body measurements as soon as possible," Laura said.
"That's good, daughter. I'm glad you're now starting to plan about the wedding, I'm relieved," Sir Nicholas said. He wore a bright smile on his face. "Anything else, daughter?" he asked Laura.
"That's all for now, Father. I will inform you if there are some changes with the plans and preparation. I will inform you if I need your advice and suggestion," Laura said.
"Okay, don't hesitate to come to me for anything - especially when it comes to money matters concerning the wedding expenses," Sir Nicholas said.
Laura smiled. "Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you, Father!" Cooper seconded.
Graven and Rebecca were both contented listening silently to the lively wedding discussion floating around them.
Silence takes over the dining room area as they resumed eating breakfast.
After they finished their meals, Sir Nicholas shifted his attention to Rebecca and Graven. "How about you two? When are you planning to get married in the church? You should start planning after Laura and Cooper's wedding!" he suggested excitedly.
Graven coughed suddenly and Rebecca smiled sweetly at Graven.
"Honey, we should get married soon! After Laura and Cooper's wedding, let's get married in the church right away!" she exclaimed happily.
Graven raised a brow and looked at Rebecca. "Okay, let's get married five years later," he said.
Rebecca pouted. "Honey, you're no fun! Let's get married this year!" she insisted in a sugary voice.
Sir Nicholas looked at the couple. "One year later is fine. Five years later is not good!" he said looking at his oldest son.
Graven smiled and obliged his father. "As you wish, Father. Rebecca and I will get married in church after one year," he finally said to appease his father.
"Yessss!" Rebecca smiled triumphantly.
"Good! Because...I want to be surrounded with lots of grandchildren before I turn 80 years old," Sir Nicholas said.
"Don't worry, Father. Laura and I will give you a dozen children, I promised you that," Cooper grinned.
Sir Nicholas chuckled. "Awesome, son! I'm looking forward to the completion of your promise!" he said in elation, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Alright, that's enough for today. I'm going up to my study room," he said.
