[ Gotham's Lovebirds ]
Steph: guess what day it is today?
Barbara: the wedding day.
Selina: and Merry Christmas guys.
Barbara: and that reminds me we were supposed to have a Christmas tree set up at the venue too.
Jason: and specifically the one which me and my love selected this morning.
Barbara: yeah, that one. Anyone checked up on that?
Richard: I did. It's being set up right now.
Steph: great.
***
Jon: has anyone seen Dami around?
Cassie: not yet thankfully.
Jon: Damian, where are you? I can't find my tuxedo.
Damian: I'm not your wife, Jon, and I hadn't packed your bags. So how would I know where your tuxedo is?
Jon: but where are you?
Damian: away from all hazards.
Richard: he went off to Titan Tower.
Jon: Dami, this is betrayal!
Damian: shut up Grayson.
Damian: and you too, Jonathan.
Damian: I'll be back by evening so ask someone else to baby you in the meanwhile.
Jon: hey!
Damian: besides all this celebration is really pointless. An absolute waste of time and money. With all the expenses you have spent on this day, you could have contributed to Father's charity funds and that would have been way more productive than joining the hands of two convicted felons and tarnishing the purity of the bond called marriage.
Steph: ...
Steph: and don't you dare call my bestie a convicted felon.
Jason: and what about me?
Steph: I don't care. He can insult you in any way he wants and I would hardly give a damn.
Jason: but I'm your brother...!
Steph: let me rephrase that. You're one utter disappointment of a brother. A complete douchebag.
Helena: that's enough Steph. His feelings will get hurt.
Jason: not fair!
Cassie: as for you, Damian...
Helena: God bless you, Cass.
Damian: go on then, celebrate. I won't be joining.
Richard: don't you dare, BabyBat!
Barbara: I'll hunt you down and drag you to the venue myself if you do that.
Jon: and I would accompany Barbara.
Damian: oh come on...
Jason: don't you dare not show up on my wedding, you little gremlin.
Damian: I wish I had enough middle fingers to flip all of you off at the same time.
Damian has left the chat.
Richard: now that was rude.
Richard: but still you guys also banded up against him. That's not fair.
Jason: shut it Mummy Grayson and come to my room as quick as possible. I'm in a somewhat emergency crises.
Helena: getting cold feet, darling?
Jason: not at all sweetheart.
***
Selina: I'm at the venue. The last minute decorations have been done.
Richard: I'm guessing Tim was in charge of all that?
Barbara: yeah, where's Tim?
Selina: he's here with me and yes he has checked everything.
Tim: nothing to worry about. The whole venue has been decorated and everything is ready to go on display.
Tim: I meant that everything is ready for the wedding to proceed.
Richard: thank heavens. Keep me updated about the proceedings, Babybird.
Tim: Aye aye captain.

[ T <•> I ]
T: it's the day at last.
I: yes it is.
I: your family's getting wild on the other chat. Some 500 unread messages that I haven't yet dared to touch even.
T: honestly speaking, neither have I.
T: the most excited of all are Steph and Barbara.
T: oh and I forgot Richard.
I: Richard?
T: don't underestimate his enthusiasm.
I: he's a really unique person. I've never before met anyone like him.
T: he likes to call himself limited edition material.
I: true though.
***
T: just got done with all the preparations.
T: I want to drop down and sleep but if I did, Jay will subject me to eternal sleep.
I: I'm leaving the office right now.
T: you hadn't left before?
I: darn stock meetings...
T: oh.
I: and if I get anymore late, I won't be able to make it to the venue.
***
T: all ready for the wedding hazards to doom upon us at last.
I: aw Timmy, you look cute.
I: not bad for getting dressed formally in just a few minutes though.
T: yup.
T: it was only possible because I ditched the coat and tie altogether.
T: by the way, have you gotten ready? Shall I come to pick you up?
I: no need, love, I'm coming by myself. And yes I've gotten ready for the event too.
T: you'll be looking gorgeous as always.
I: want an exclusive sneak peak?
T: like I said, gorgeous and adorable at the same time.
I: hey, that's what I say about you all the time.
T: see, we're destined to be together.
I: I believe so too.

[ Gotham's Lovebirds ]
Richard: behold the newly wedded husband and wife!
Selina: I'm so happy for you both. And I hope you spend a beautiful life together.
Jason: thanks Mom.
Helena: you're the sweetest, Selina.
Cassie: you look absolutely stunning, Helena.
Jason: yes she does. And so do I.
Barbara: oh come on Jay... Of course you both look perfect.
***
Tim: thank God we're all done with the wedding now.
Tim: I don't know about you guys but for me it has surely been a hazard.
Steph: you're not alone. While you we're tasked with the tasks related to the event planning, I was handed the most difficult job of all.
Cassie: poor you.
Tim: what task?
Steph: keeping Jay away from the bars until the final ceremony.
Steph: more than half my time passed like this.
***
Richard: rest assured, Jay, you finally made the front page story in The Scene magazine.
Steph: Jason...? Helena...? Are you both purposefully ignoring us?
Barbara: come on guys, the two got married last night. We shouldn't be bothering them so early.
Helena: oh no bother at all.
Helena: though I have to say thank you for making yesterday the best day of my life.
Cassie: no problem and you're always welcome, sweetie.
Richard: how's your first day as Mrs Todd going, Helena?
Helena: as usual. Jason wasn't wrong when he had said that we were practically a married couple even before getting married.
Steph: but people always make such a huge fuss out of wedding nights.
Helena: not when the bride and groom happen to be me and Jay.
Richard: I mean come on... It's supposed to be a night to remember.
Helena: I understand that considering you and Barbara. But all things aside, I would still remember last night and continue to tease Jay about it for the rest of my life.
Steph: you've sparked my curiosity and I really want to know what happened.
Barbara: Stephanie, you can't just ask that!
Steph: oops.
Helena: it's okay, Steph, I'm telling you anyway.
Helena: I was so tired last night that I wanted to sleep but your brother was having an existential crisis.
Barbara: 😂
Richard: where is Jay right now though?
Helena: he's making breakfast.
Cassie: Awww.
Richard: we'll leave you guys to your couple life for now but please don't forget to join us all tonight at dinner.
Helena: absolutely.
***
Jon: so apparently Damian hates weddings.
Damian: with a burning passion.
Cassie: as expected.
Jon: that's why I've decided not to propose to him at all.
Damian: ...
Irina: hey is this why Dami is chasing Jon around Wayne Manor screaming "I hadn't meant it for us, Jonathan!!!"
Barbara: precisely.
Steph: Irina you're at our home?
Irina: yup. me and Tim just came.
Tim: and were met by the sight of a little gremlin chasing poor dear Jon.
Steph: great. How did I not know that before? Wait up, I'm coming down right now.
Tim: wow, what a reunion.
Cassie: I need a hug too, Irina.
Irina: aw, of course Cass.
Richard: I'm joining as well. Great to see someone else in the family appreciates hugs too.
Barbara: and here goes Dick switching into the Free Hug mode.
Richard: you love free hugs, Babs, don't you?
Barbara: of course I do.
Cassie: even Bruce can't say no to him.
Steph: true true.
