It was great that Abel chose a venue with a basement parking lot because Bassena and Zein could come inside the building fairly undetected. Abel even sent one of the wedding organizer staff to fetch them, so they could come through the more discreet hallways.
Just like their inn, the venue had a polished old aesthetic to it. The hall where the ceremony and the reception would be held looked like an ancient palace, and even the staff wore a somewhat traditional-looking garb.
Zein used to think a wedding reception was just another kind of party, but that was obviously because he had never gone to one. In the red-zone, people didn't really care whether you were married or not, but you could register your relationship with the Landlord. Rarely, there would be a wedding ceremony, but the 'reception' was usually a simple banquet—and by 'banquet', it meant the one who held it would provide the guest with a single meal of bread, soup, and meat.
