Alex looks a little confused but nods.

Alex: Sure. We can use my stateroom.

Pockets Mon May 30, 2011 5:21 am

Alexis about to open the door to the stateroom when there is drunken giggling and moaning coming from inside. Alexis quickly pulls her hand back.

Alexis: Um... ok... not there....

She pokes her head tentatively in the stateroom she had been using earlier.

Alexis: This one looks safe.

Cynthia takes Frank's hand.

Cynthia: Why don't you lead the way this time... let's see if you're better at finding privacy than I am.

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 5:29 am

Frank:"With a ship this size there is bound to be some privacy...wait this doesn't have a crows nest does it?"

Ashley:"As long as you don't mind me getting something off me chest. You two are...probably the best sounding board I got at the moment."

Pockets Mon May 30, 2011 5:33 am

Cynthia grins.

Cynthia: And you were calling me adventurous... let's go and see!

Alexis glances at Alex, then back at Ashley.

Alexis: What's going on?

Cruel Britannia Mon May 30, 2011 5:35 am

Alex: Better to get it off your chest than spend the rest of your daughter's wedding worrying.

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 5:52 am

Frank:"Heh the only question would be how to get up there without being noticed..."

Ashley:"Its...well this doctor 'e...put things in perspective fer me I guess you could say..."
he looks at Alex
"When...I kicked yer mother...that pathetic, selfish thing because I..."
his eyes meet the floor
"wanted them to notice me...I said sorry so many times but...none of them ever meant anything."
he looks at Alex
"I never apologized to you, or Amanda, or Jillian, or Ewan, or anybody. I never apologized fer kicking Jillian. I never apologized fer reveling in the attention it gave me. I never apologized fer the coma it put 'er in. I never apologized fer the trauma and head injuries it caused you...I...I never apologizing for ending the Legacy's reign in the ring...
I know that the odds of anybody accepting that is slim but...I feel I still owe yer family, face to face, a formal apology. I know wot you'll likely say but I don't mean another sorry. Not something that feels empty and pitiful. Something that actually finally can mean something..."

Pockets Mon May 30, 2011 6:02 am

Cynthia: Who would notice?

Cruel Britannia Mon May 30, 2011 6:04 am

Alex smiles at Ashley.

Alex: Thankyou Ashley. I appreciate that.

Now...... to be perfectly honest with you..... I honestly don't know if my family will ever truly accept any apology you give for the.... incident..... but if this is something you feel that you need to do..... I can certainly arrange it.

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 6:11 am

Frank:"Depends how out in the open we have to be to get there..."

Theres a sigh of relief that comes from Ashley
Ashley:"I would appreciate that Alex. Greatly."
he ponders for a moment
"Incident...that makes it sound like it was a pretty casual thing when you say it loik that..."

Cruel Britannia Mon May 30, 2011 6:17 am

Alex: Well.... not really sure what else to call it....

..... I mean.... my view of what happened was obscured by the world's toughest womb at the time.

He half smiles.

.....so this is what's been playing on your mind today?

Pockets Mon May 30, 2011 6:23 am

Cynthia: First thing... we need to make sure there is one.

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 6:33 am

Ashley:"That...'ow to be the father Alexis deserves...'ow to be a good father in-law...not tripping as I walked down the aisle with yer bride...not screwing up the father of the bride speech later...aye I 'ave 'ad a few things rattling around me noggin.."

eventually Frank and Cynthia find the crowsnest. Which looks like this

Frank:"Hmm...I'm thinking that won't work..."

Cruel Britannia Mon May 30, 2011 6:46 am

Alex: So...... not much then? Heh.

..... well..... you didn't trip...... one of my best men is currently three sheets to the wind..... so yours definitely wont be the worst speech. And you have the rest of your life to make the whole dad thing work. So try and have a little fun today. It's the only wedding your daughter's ever going to have.

He pats Ashley on the shoulder.

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 6:54 am

Ashley:"Heh well...me sobriety sort of made sure I didnt even get 'alf a sheet to the wind...I know wot you mean though...
Oh, and this better be 'er only wedding...I don't think me 'eart could 'andle this twice..."
he laughs

Cruel Britannia Mon May 30, 2011 7:00 am

Alex smiles.

Alex: Yet another thing you have no need to worry about.

He puts his arm around Lexi and gives her a quick peck on top of the head.

..... I'm never letting this one go.

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 7:10 am

Ashley smiles and nods
Ashley:"I know that wot ever 'appens, you two will at least 'ave each other...Look, when you feel its a roit time, talk to yer family, see about setting things up. In the mean time...I figure if you could you would 'ave by now but...try not to break me daughter tonight fer goodness sakes..."

Cryonix Mon May 30, 2011 8:10 am

The first mate comes up to Ben and whispers a couple things to him. Ben nods...

Ben: Excellent. Have the captain dock and we will get to the reception.

Ben clears his throat...

Ben: Ladies and Gentlemen....may I have you attention please? The first part of our journey together has ended. The O'Ryan Family and the Edwards family would like to thank you all for attending the wedding of two wonderful people, Alex and Alexis. I was just glad that I was able to help in whatever small way that I could to make their day special. Now if you'll turn your attention to port side, you will all see that we are docking at Navy Pier, where the reception will be in the Crystal Gardens. There will be an open bar and dinner will be cooked to order from the menu selections you will have on your tables. It will only take a few moments for us to dock...then please proceed slowly off the yacht. There will be limos to take you back to the Drake Hotel from this location. Thank you.

The boat pulls into the dock and Alex and Alexis and their families lead the guests off the boat to the beautiful Crystal Gardens of Navy Pier...

Alex Clears his throat and chuckles a little.

Alex: Yes.... um..... well..... I don't think I could break Lexi if I tried..... she's a..... tough..... cookie.

Hearing the announcement, Alex leads Lexi hand in hand into the crystal gardens.

........ I uh..... I mean..... just...... wow.

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 2:02 pm

Ashley:"Well, as long as you keep 'er a 'appy wife...in all ways."

he looks around the crystal gardens

Ashley:"I can't 'elp but wonder wot me son's fiance is going to want fer their wedding now..."

Cryonix Mon May 30, 2011 2:18 pm

Ben walks behind Ashley and clasps his shoulder...

Ben: Ashley, you just let me know...and we'll set it up together. I had to throw this together at the last moment....luckily...the people at Navy Pier owed me a couple favors...

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 2:23 pm

Ashley:"Um alroit...'ow many people owe you favors?..."
he looks around
"I guess 'aving some gauge of wot they want moit 'elp to, aye?"

Cryonix Mon May 30, 2011 2:26 pm

Ben: Exactly...and as far as how many people owe me favors? Well, let's just say that I am very well connected all over the world. Nothing illegal, just lots of overtime and hard work to make my clients happy. Being part owner of a couple vineyards and high end eateries around the world helps too. Wink

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 2:36 pm

Ashley:"Heh, I can imagine...'ell I really need to get back on me feet when it comes to that...Obviously I can't be running a pub but, Frank said 'e 'ad something 'e wanted to talk to me about. 'ave to remember to do that..."

Meanwhile, Colin takes a seat under a tree with Amber
Colin:"You know...there is one thing I wish I had done..."

Cryonix Mon May 30, 2011 2:38 pm

Ben: Yes, you should. You and I should sit down and talk about your investment opportunities. I understand you have a rather...healthy portfolio.

Amber, who has a big smile on her face, sits down next to Colin and leans her head on his shoulder...

Amber: What's that, honey?

Jabberwocky Mon May 30, 2011 3:23 pm

Ashley:"It be one I 'aven't looked at in...god, ages. But put it this way...I 'ad enough put away to let me live in an unemployed drunken stupor fer years. And in one nice lookin' place to. Ask Naomi if you don't believe me."

Colin:"This."
he drops to one knee in front of her, pulling this out
