The Small Wedding

The First Wedding

The quiet ceremony that married Louis and Juice Box, and which Samantha is furious to have missed.

Story so far

The wedding's fallout arrives in the Flag Room on Louis's shoulder. Samantha is bawling about being excluded, insisting you cannot do that to a girl and that she would never have disrupted the ceremony, before immediately conceding that even if she had been planning something, maybe slitting the bride's throat, that is no reason to get married without telling her.

Donut reassures her that it was only the first wedding and that there is a bigger ceremony coming in a few weeks. Louis and Katia shoot her a why-did-you-tell-her-that look, and everyone else groans, while Samantha brightens and declares this changes everything.
