When they get to the reception after all the photos are taken, there is this planned entrance. Of course, the girls do not know what this is planned. It's totally being helped by the non-groomsmen who are also big nerds like the groom, and they are all for helping make the reception a memorable moment. Of course, this is Stiles' memorable moment, so a normal, sane wedding reception is obviously not in the game plan.

And it's totally not told to the bride. Because it's a surprise, okay?

So when the DJ is cuing up the PLANNED intro music to introduce the couple, Stiles had mentioned that he left something in the bathroom and will be right back and hasn't returned yet. And as the groomsmen and the bridesmaids head in, leaving the door closed behind them, Cora is going to find herself alone in the hallway at the door.

Well, her and Liam. Liam, the junior groomsman who has the biggest job of all at the moment. DON'T LET CORA LEAVE THE HALLWAY.

He's just grinning though, because he knows what's coming. He's watched Stiles working with Landon on the dancing. So he goes to stand next to his aunt who he's actually the same height as now, and grins. "You okay, Aunt Cora?"

Cora's mostly very confused. She's supposed to have a husband standing next to her and he is very much not. She's surprised she managed to lose him in the first place because throughout the pictures and everything else between the ceremony and here, you couldn't pry them apart with a crowbar.

She glances around for a moment, before turning back to Liam, confused. "Have you seen Stiles?"

"Oh yeah, I've seen him." Liam is far too happy. He's enjoying this. "He'll be back in a second. You should just stay here."

"Uh-huh."

She sounds dubious because she knows her husband and she knows he's up to something but she'll wait. For now. It'd be weird if she went into her own wedding without her husband.

"Fine."

♫ - Hooked on a Feeling

The music in the room would change, and Cora would hear Scott and Isaac at the door grabbing the two handles and opening it as they both broke into chanting. Yes, they were both smirking. Their jackets were off, sleeves rolled up and their ties were on their heads like headbands.

"Just remember, you married him," Liam pointed out, motioning her to enter as everyone was on their feet, clapping in time to the chanting as Stiles cheered them on before turning to his wife.

"I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me..."

He started to sing, actually on key, also sans jacket but his tie is just loosened. He's holding the mic, focusing just on her. He came close, taking her hand with one of his own, but he's not about to start dancing with her just yet...

"When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right..."

He guides her to the center of the dance floor, twirling her once before getting her there, getting her a few feet away before he goes to run and slide on his knees in front of her as he finishes with,

"I... I hiiii, hiiii.... I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me!"

Yeah, Cora had no idea this was happening. She's lead along fairly easily as she gets brought through the motions, trying to regain control of herself as she's caught in a mix of laughing, blushing a whole lot of other emotions that she can't really put a name to. But she loves him, and she loves this, even if she can't manage other words beyond these as she cups her hand over the microphone and pushes it away so that it doesn't pick up her words.

"You ass."

"I love you too," he pointed out, handing to mic off to Scott as he dipped his wife and kissed her as the song continued Blue Suede's voices instead of Stiles and the rest of the group who could hear them were laughing and applauding.

Cora sinks into the kiss easily, because kissing him is much easier than trying to figure out to do with the rest of the display. She slides her arms around his neck to pull him closer, just pleased with everything this day has been.

♫ - I Choose You

As they kiss, the DJ puts his headphones back on and grabs the mic from Scott. Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Maczysz -"

Stiles broke the kiss and looked up at the DJ. "Hey!"

The DJ laughed as Isaac slapped a $20 on the table next to him. "I mean, Mr. and Mrs. Stiles Stilinski!" And with that, their actual wedding song will start to play.

She laughs softly as she slides into his arms again, one hand resting against his shoulder as she rests her chin on top of it.

"Would it have been so bad if he finished it?"

"No, I just... Stiles is who I am. It's the name you fell in love with me as, and it's the name you're taking." He smiled and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

She hums slightly as she lets him pull her in, giving his hand a squeeze. "Then I graciously accept."

And they are going to just dance gracefully a bit, and Stiles will stare lovingly into her eyes, beeming.

She grins herself, leaning in to kiss him as the song comes to an end. She doesn't pull away right away, mostly because she doesn't have to, but also because she doesn't want to, just waiting for the next part of the opening ceremonies.

When the song ended, there were cheers and people clinking on their water glasses, wanting the couple to kiss again so Stiles will close that short distance to kiss her again.

"Alright, everyone," Thomas' voice picked up. "Let's let them get something to eat. Plus I know a few of us got some things to say tonight, and we're going to need some more champagne in us for that."

She sighs softly as she kisses him back, but turns and casts her father a grateful look as she nods. Yes. Food. Food is very, very important. She gives Stiles' hand a squeeze and waits for him to lead the way back to the head table with the rest of the bridal party.

He takes her there, as everyone else sits he holds the chair out for Cora to help her sit before sitting next to her. As he does, silverware starts to clink against glasses and he laughed and leaned in to kiss Cora because nope, there will be a lot of those before the night is done.

Yep. There's going to be so much kissing, not that Cora minds because kissing Stiles is very important. But once that's done, they're going to settle into their seats and get ready to eat. "God, I'm starving. I feel like I haven't eaten anything all day."

"Your uncle all but shoved crackers down my throat because he didn't want me having an empty stomach, but I was worried I'd be too nervous and embarrass myself up at the alter the first time I tried to open my mouth."

Their plates were put down in front of them and Stiles felt himself drooling just a bit. "Yeah, you may need to bring us another one," he told the waiter as he grabbed his napkin.

She laughs a bit at that, before moving to dig into her own. "Nadia should always pick the catering places. This is delicious."

"Yeah, it's pretty amazing," said with a mouth full of food as he's trying to add some more bread into it.

She laughs a bit at that, before nodding. "Careful. Don't want you choking on your wedding night."

He looked at her, swallowed, and then smirked. "You say that like you have plans to do with me later."

She laughs a bit, before nodding. "Well, there was this whole honeymoon thing. Might not be able to go if you start choking to death."
