Scheming, No, Planning (Will)

[Deleted]

Rylie was laying on her back tossing a ball into the air over her head, it was her way of dealing with stress. There was so much still to do in planning the wedding for her and Will, invitations to be sent out, flowers to buy, cake testing, a dress, food, and she couldn't forget they still had to even decide on a place to get married.

Rylie groaned, she was excited, nervous and every other emotion one could possibly be feeling, her stomach was in knots, she wasn't eating and she couldn't even find the energy to fix her hair, which was currently left down in a curly/ wavy mess around her shoulders. Mind you, it went well with what she was wearing, old faded blue jeans with holes in them, and a comfy blue hooded sweater she'd commandeered from Will and never given back.

Throwing the ball at the opposite wall, Rylie covered her eyes with her arms dramatically. Where was Will, he had promised they could start making plans for the wedding soon, and it was only getting closer.

Will was in a comfortable pair of jeans and one of his old sweatshirts, seeing how he hadn't gotten his other one back from Rylie yet. But he liked it on her. He walked over to where she had thrown the ball after watching her trying to de-stress. He wished the wedding was more fun for her instead of a burden. He bounced the ball and walked over to her, easily joining her on the ground. "Hello, lovely."

Will smiled, "are you ready to get operation wedding started?" He felt that the wedding would involve more planning than he ever did when stealing from the rich to help the poor.

Rylie jumped as she heard the ball being bounced back in her direction. Peeling her arms away from her eyes, she smiled up at Will. No matter how stressed she was, Rylie could count on him to bring a smile back to her face, and to calm her nerves better than anything else she could do.

"Hello, Handsome," Rylie responded before biting her bottom lip watching Will gracefully join her on the floor. She loved watching Will when he moved, he was graceful, and handsome, and all hers.

"More than ready," Rylie responded sitting up, her legs still stretched out in front of her as she straightened the sweater which was wrapped and twisted around her because it was too big. "What do you want to tackle first?" Rylie asked looking at all the lists and pictures she had laid out on the coffee table she was sitting next too. "A place, food, flowers? Something else?" Rylie looked at Will and paused, "Oh I forgot," she said leaning forward and kissing him soundly before going back to her papers with a coy smile. Normally Rylie wouldn't have been this stressed, but the wedding was only 2 months away and they hadn't even booked a venue yet, and her father was probably going to blow a gasket if she and will didn't start getting everything in order.

[Robin Hood/Will Arrow]

Will smiled at her, and sat up, looking at everything she had laid out. He loved watching her untwist herself, and he couldn't wait just to hold her in his arms. Will smiled when she kissed him, "I'll call those your forget-me-not kisses."

Will looked at Rylie, "a venue would make the most sense I believe. But then again do we know who we are all inviting to the wedding and then to the reception?" Robin really only needed Rylie's father to be there and of course his best mate, who he hoped would also be the best man. The rest of the men would be harder to get, and most of them were just fighting buddies. He would rather have friends and people he really knew there.

Rylie could feel Will watching her, but she didn't mind, she loved it, and him. "You'd better not forget me Arrow," Rylie said glaring at Will before a smile spread across her lips.

Rylie shook her head and smiled. "We need to know how many people we're inviting before we pick a place. I have about twenty-ish people to invite, how many do you have?" Rylie asked grabbing her pen and note book so that she didn't forget to write everything down. "And are we getting married in a church and then going to the reception, or did we want to do it all in one location so no one gets lost?" Rylie paused and looked up at Will. "Have you even spoken to Sam yet?" Rylie asked wondering if Will had even spoken to his would be best man.

[Robin Hood/Will Arrow]

Will grinned, "I will never forget you, not even after the grave." He liked to think that Rylie and his love for each other would last even further than this world. After all they had found their way in this new place, and lived in two worlds, which were now connected as one through magic.

Will laughed, "well, I'm inviting Sam and your father, and that's it. Actually, probably Mr. Gold and Belle as well, for him saving my life so we could have this wedding. Don't know where the other men are and I doubt I'd really want them there. They aren't the wedding types."

Will smiled at Rylie, "of course I asked Sam, right before I came here. He's excited to be best man. Do you have someone in mind for Maid of Honor? If not maybe we could try and set Sam up with someone." Will wanted his best friend to find the happiness he had found, and he knew that his best mate would need help doing so.

[Deleted]

Rylie smiled up at Will, reassured by his words. A wedding was lots of work, but she wanted to join her life with Will's more than anything.

"So we need to find a place for what, thirty ish people? forty ish people?" Rylie waited for Will's answer. "We could get married at the church then and go to a country club, or get married and do the reception at a country club." Rylie paused. "Or, we could do a beach theme wedding, outside, or in the forest, or we could set up a tent and do everything in the back yard." Rylie looked out the window of the manor. She'd be moving in with Will after the wedding, but her father's house would always feel like a safe haven.

"I don't know who my maid of honor will be yet," Rylie said chewing her bottom lip. That was one of the things that she was stressed about. Her best friend was sitting next to her, and everyone else she'd know had either turned their backs or abandoned her.

[Robin Hood/Will Arrow]

Will nodded, "maybe room for forty just in case? You never know what will happen, and we can donate the rest of the food to the orphanage."

Will had a lot to do to get the house ready for after the wedding. "I think a church wedding and then we can do the reception somewhere that offers an outdoor and indoor environment, if the weather doesn't decide to be sunny."

Will looked at Rylie and he felt bad that she didn't have anyone in mind. "Well, there is still time for that part. If anything we can break tradition and just have Sam. Come to think of it I don't know who else would be part of the wedding party. Your father will give you away, which I'm sure he's excited about." Will waited for Rylie to answer.

[Deleted]

"I like the way you think," Rylie said noting down on the paper that it was for 40, and started to make a list of everyone they had to send invitations out too. "And instead of donating left over food, we could ask for donations for the orphanage instead of wedding gifts or money."

"Where were you thinking for the reception? Here or your house has the woods right behind it, a country club would be pretty boring, and the only thing people could do is go out on the patio." Rylie continued to write down ideas and scratch off the things they were ruling out.

"My father has never been happier," Rylie said smiling. "He said he's been waiting for this day forever." Rylie paused and flipped pages over in her notebook. "What about a cake, or a theme? I mean we'll have to go cake testing.. but are we going for traditional, or modern.. I mean we could do a three tier cake, or we could do cupcakes..." Rylie chewed her bottom lip again and brushed her hair out of her eyes. "We could have a fairytale themed wedding," she said joking and referencing the curse.

[Robin Hood/Will Arrow]

Will leaned in and kissed Rylie, "I love the way you think. Donating to the orphanage and giving them money, gifts, everything is a brilliant idea."

Will thought about the reception, "we can have the reception behind the house, and put some candles or lights out to make it seem more romantic, along with other decorations."

Will laughed, "having a fairytale wedding would be out of this world. Everyone would be shocked," he said returning Rylie's tease. "Maybe combine modern and traditional together? We could have the main cake and then fun cupcakes with the other flavors?" Will grinned not really knowing that much about weddings.

Rylie kissed Will back, smiling as she did. "I'm a pretty smart cookie when I want to be," she said with a goofy grin.

"This house or your house?" Rylie asked writing again. This was productive, and putting many of her concerns at ease. She wanted the wedding to be small but perfect for them.

"I thought it was a good idea," Rylie said laughing. "No one would expect it, but it would be totally fitting.. I like the idea of extra little cup cakes. We'll have to book an appointment with the bakery to choose flavors and such." Riley paused. "I can go talk to Sam about music tomorrow. Did you want to help pick flowers, or are you leaving that up to me?" Rylie looked up and smiled.

[Robin Hood/Will Arrow]

Will smiled, "well that all depends on where you want to spend your wedding night. We can't leave Storybrooke as far as I know. And also on your father. My house, which is now your house, is fine. They both are great structures."

Will laughed, "okay, we can get a time with the bakery, Sam will be easy to get in contact with and of course I'll help with flowers, I practically lived in vegetation my whole life." Robin said jokingly. "I'm here to help with everything except your dress, cause I can't see that until our wedding day." Will looked at Rylie waiting for her response.

[Deleted]

Rylie thought, placing the end of her pen against the side of her cheek. "I think we should spend our first night married in our home, but then we should have the wedding ceremony here so that if we decide to leave early no one can follow us." Rylie smiled.

"Alright so I'll call the bakery later and see when they can see us." Rylie flipped through the magazines she had on the table to show Will different ideas for flowers. Some were roses, or calla lilies, tiger lilies. "Do you like any of these?" Rylie asked handing the pictures to Will. "And I'm pretty sure i know what I want for a dress so I'm not worried, I just have to get out and get it."

[Robin Hood/Will Arrow]

Will smiled, "then I can have you all to myself," as Rylie mentioned that they could have their wedding night at their home so they could sneak away from her father's house.

Will looked at Rylie a smile on his face as he watched her flip through the catalogs. There were so many different kinds of flowers, so many different combinations. "Well, do you have a theme in mind, or color scheme you want? Favorite flower?" Will asked Rylie knowing most couples based the flowers off of a larger wedding idea.

[Deleted]

Rylie laughed. "What, you don't have me all to yourself now?" She asked joking knowing full well what Will was talking about, but she wanted to drag it out of him.

"Well are we going with the Fairy tale theme combined with outdoorsy? Or did we want to do something entirely different?" Rylie asked wanting the wedding to be as much for Will as for her. "I was thinking maybe purples as the accent colour, but I'm not sure yet." Rylie chewed her bottom lip. This is where she had trouble, she wanted the perfect wedding but was horrible at making the final choices.
