VIBE CHECK: observant. emotionally steady (on the surface). loyal to a fault. grief-shaped. nurturing but guarded. intellectually curious. deeply sentimental. afraid of abandonment LIKES, HABITS, TINY TELLS: keeps a tiny spiral notebook in her back pocket at nearly all times — half observations, half feelings she’s still trying to understand. chews the cap of every pen she owns, even the nice ones. pets every single dog she sees, no exceptions. sits cross-legged in chairs like she’s still eleven. laughs with her whole face, nose scrunch and all. organizes her kitchen cabinets by “vibes” instead of logic and then forgets where everything is. RUMORS & CONTRADICTIONS: “she’s the girl who used to chase chickens barefoot and somehow grew up to be a brilliant journalist.” // “logan walker? she remembers every tragedy she’s lived through but still smiles like she was made out of sunshine.” // “i heard she moved across the entire country for her brother — and honestly? that tracks.” // “she’s gentle until you underestimate her. then she’s fire.” // “people think she’s soft. she isn’t. she’s tough in the way broken things learn to be.”

FULL BIOGRAPHY & OTHER INFORMATION

[mattswheeler]

He couldn't help as more tears lined his eyes. He loved her so much and just hearing her vows and knowign they were both in this for the rest of their lives made him emotional. Once she was done, he squeezed her hands and then the officiant started once again. "Do you, Matt Wheeler, take Logan Walker as your wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?" Matt smiled and nodded. "I do." @loganxwheeler

[loganxwheeler]

As the officiant repeated the question for Logan, she found herself beaming at Matt. "I do." She stated fully, her heart swelling with the idea that they were married now. Well, almost. Then, the officiant instructed that Matt could kiss the bride. Logan didn't waste any time leaning into the kiss, the first signaling that they were husband and wife. Her hands snaked up around the back of his neck, staying there until the kiss broke. Parting from him, she laced their fingers together. "We did it. We're married." @mattswheeler

[auroraxblake]

With Nellie at home with her in-laws, this was the first big event where Rory (and Brody) were out and about without their daughter. She was so happy to be able to attend her friend's big day and watch her marry the love of her life. Taking a breather, and sipping upon some seltzer as she wasn't drinking that night, she smiled at Logan as she saw the bride approach. "Hi," she smiled again and then looked at her own ring, nodding her head. "I still do. I mean we eloped so it was a little different but every day I catch myself thinking about it when I get a glimpse of it. And every morning when I wake up next to Brody, I think to myself how damn lucky I am." @loganxwheeler

[loganxwheeler]

Logan nodded her head to Aurora's words. She knew that she'd feel the same way. "I thought about it, honestly. But Matt has so much family here, friends included, that I wanted him to have all of that." She knew neither Rory or Brody were from the area and she wasn't judging the elopement. "Which is why this made sense, the location, so we could have all the people and not have to worry about bending over backwards for cost." It's not like either of them were loaded financially. "I'm glad we are both so happy." @auroraxblake

[caelxmontgomery]

Cael hummed, then remembered to nod to confirm her guess. His hums and grunts were barely sounding different, might as well give a visual cue. At her question, he let out a breath, turning his attention back to the florals. He'd never really been good at gifts, definitely not flowers. But he was trying to be a better man. "Flowers for my girl." He admitted, then shrugged. "I should get some for my mom, too." She'd been declining slowly but surely. Whatever colour he could bring her, he should. He just didn't want to admit to himself that he was getting closer to losing her. "The woman asked what I wanted the flowers to say." He grumbled. "She needed me to think about my answer." @loganxwheeler

[loganxwheeler]

Logan could tell the man wasn't a fan of her, though she would take a guess and assume he wasn't a fan of many things. At the mention of him having a girlfriend, she felt the corners of her lips tug upward just faintly. It was small, but it almost humanized him to hear him talk about his girlfriend and mother. "It is a question florists love to ask." She found herself laughing with a shake of her head. "I don't know that it always has to be that serious. Unless you want it to be," she offered the suggestion with a raise of her shoulders. "If you came in here with the intent of the flowers speaking rather than yourself, that's one thing." @caelxmontgomery

[riverxjackson]

He at first didnt hear anyone coming around, so it took a second before he looked up. "What?" he said, as he was really just not caring to hear. "It's whole wheat..." a healthy muffin, and he wasn't giving them that much. He sighed, knowing it wasn't her fault; he was forever in a bad mood. 'They said it was organic and stuff, I don't think it's too bad," as far as he knew. He sat himself up "I'll stop" he said as he looked at her. @loganxwheeler

[loganxwheeler]

Logan paused, listening to what the other stated. A whole wheat, organic muffin? Her lips thinned into a line before twisting them as he said he'd stop. "Thanks." She forced herself to soften her expression, giving him a faint smile. "I don't think it matters if it's a regular or organic type muffin. Same for bread. Lots of people feed bread to the birds but it's actually detrimental to their health." Sure, she was sharing more than River seemed interested in knowing, but she hadn't really talked to Rory's brother a whole lot. @riverxjackson

The reception had settled into an easy rhythm. People were enjoying cocktails and dancing together on the dance floor. And for the first time all day, it seemed that no one actually needed her for something. So she found it to be the perfect opportunity to slip away from the crowd for a moment, just to catch her breath. Logan spotted Rory before Rory spotted her. She approached the woman with a smile on her face, "Did you have this feeling?" She started, "Like every time you look at your ring, it's like, oh yeah, I'm married." And the words still sounded surreal to her ears.

The reception was in the timeline of somewhere between dinner and dancing. Logan wandered around, spotting a number of abandoned jackets for those that made it to the dance floor. However, she barely made it another five feet before she was stopped by someone else. Got a photo, with someone else. Logan, however, was loving every second of it. "There you are," she smiled easily at Teagan as the woman came into view. "You look absolutely stunning tonight and I have been looking for you all evening just to tell you that." Logan's smile grew, "Well, that, and that we are both so grateful that you could make it tonight."

[mattswheeler]

Quickly wiping his cheeks, Matt smiled at her and took her hand. "Hi." He said back. "You look beautiful." He complimented her, his heart racing. He still couldn't believe this was happening, but he was ready for it at the same time. He gave her hands a soft squeeze and just took her in for a moment. He didn't get too long as the person marrying them began. After the welcomes and a little starter, they arrived at the vows and Matt took a breath before he started talking.

"As many of you know, having love in my life hasn't been easy. I was in a dark place when Logan came into my life and I was sure that I would never be in love ever again. But Logan, you changed everything for me. Not only were you a great friend, but you also healed me without even knowing. You brought so much light into my life and with that, you brought back joy and happiness. And even though we weren't married, you've already proven you would be there for me at my worst. And now I'm ready to continue us being there for each other for the better. I love you, Logan. You're the love of my life and I don't know what I would do without you." @loganxwheeler

[loganxwheeler]

"And you look handsome." Logan complimented him back, a shaky laugh passing over her lips. It was the soft squeeze that Matt gave her hands that brought her back to the reality at hand. She was getting to marry the love of her life. Logan didn't pay much attention to anything else, only keeping eye contact with Matt, even as they reached the vows.

As he began them, she felt tears stinging the corners of her eyes. She had never imagined being the type to say her vows aloud but as Matt said his, hers began so naturally. "Matt," she smiled with his name leaving her mouth, "I did not come to Kismet Harbor expecting to make a life here. It started of befriending you and over time, I fell in love with you. No matter what happens for either of us, I will be here, time and time again. It's you and me, me and you." Logan's hand tightened in his own, "Loving you has felt more like home than any other place in the world." @mattswheeler

[arlocontreras]

When she admitted that she was planning to hang out until the food trucks came, Arlo felt himself nod slowly. Of course she were; that's probably why a lot of people were starting to trickle in, which he wouldn't have noticed even if he wouldn't have been trying to help her stay safe in an environment that probably wasn't that extreme. He was just a natural protector. "I'd actually love that." he nodded. "Though you don't have to. I just know I'd never be able to live with myself if I saw you on the news later and something had happened and I didn't stick around." he stated. "Though that mac and cheese truck has some of the best smoked mac and cheese I've ever tasted. I wouldn't say no to a bowl of that." @loganxwalker

[loganxwheeler]

The statement of her being on the news hit too close to home. With her wedding upcoming to Matthew and what had happened with Emily came to the forefront of her mind. "Trust me, I wouldn't want that either." Not that she imagined she'd be all that aware if that bad thing did happen. "Consider me sold on that truck," Logan responded with a quiet laugh, "smoked mac and cheese? I mean, that sounds absolutely fantastic. But really, it's not problem. I'm happy to do so. If living in Kismet has taught me anything, it's to appreciate people a little more." @arlocontrerasa

closed starter for @loganxwalker

Today was the day Matt and Logan were getting married. Nerves ran through his body and he kept fidgeting with his bow tie as he looked out over the ocean. The nerves had nothing to do with getting married or who he was marrying. They were fully just for the fear that he was going to screw something up and that's the last thing he wanted. He had nightmares he was going to freeze up saying 'I do' and ones that Logan was going to get kidnapped just like Emily did. Those ones were always the worst. His mother was reassuring him everything was going to be fine as the music started.

Turning, he watched his mother sit down and Matt took his place at the end of the aisle. He gripped his hands and smiled as he watched the wedding party go down the aisle. His heart was hammering against his chest and he took a deep breath before seeing his fiancé and his brother. Everyone stood from their seats and his eyes were fixed on Logan, her beauty, and a tear lines his eyes as he watched her begin to make her way towards him.

[loganxwheeler]

When her and Matt decided to push up the wedding to July, she hadn't imagined that they would get it all done. But, they had and today was the day. She was making last minute adjustments, her fingertips gingerly flattening some stray frizzes that had decided it was a good time to escape. Someone had told her it was time and Logan's heart rate picked up. She was getting to marry Matt Wheeler and she would be Logan Wheeler.

With the music starting, she began her descent down the aisle toward Matt. While they had loved ones by their side, even walking her down the aisle, she couldn't take her eyes off Matt. He was the only one that mattered to her in the moment. From down the way, she could see tears lining her eyes and she blinked back a few of her own, not wanting to ruin her makeup. It felt like an eternity before she made it down there and found herself standing in front of him. "Hi," she whispered the word, her cheeks flush from the blush and her growing nerves. @mattswheeler

[riverxjackson]

He had so much going on, but at the same time, he had nothing going on. So here he was outside one ot the cafes in town. He had gotten a cup of coffee and a muffin and was sitting outside. He was off to the side and out of the way. He had grown out his hair and beard lately since he just didnt have the mind to care about cutting them. He didnt think he looked that bad so he was fine to keep it up. but his mind was dazed as normal and was ripping off parts of his muffin and just tossing them onto the ground for the birds. He sighed as he didnt even notice someone walk up to him and say something, his mind just wasn't in the right space lately. @loganxwalker

[loganxwheeler]

Logan was taking a walk through the park, liking to do so when it was nice out. The birds sang and she heard the laughter of children as she walked the path. It was as she came across someone ripping up some of their muffin and tossing it to the birds. When she spoke the first time and they didn't respond, she cleared her throat. "Excuse me," she said with a bit more assertiveness. "I don't think you should be feeding birds muffins. It's really not good for them." @riverxjackson

[caelxmontgomery]

Recognition was immediate this time around. If he was a fair judge himself, he'd say he was a different man compared to the first time they met, even the second time where she got a small insight over his passion towards Greek mythology. He just hoped she'd forgotten about what she wanted to rehash next time they'd meet, for his unchecked years weren't the kind he wanted to relive. "At least I'm not the only one thinking that." Getting a bouquet of flowers for Yasmin often got him to want to outdo the last one. It was slowly becoming an impossible feat. "Logan, right? Landon?" @loganxwalker

[loganxwheeler]

"Logan, yeah," she nodded her head, focusing her gaze on the man. She recognized him, but her memory of when and where they had met was escaping her at the current moment. "And Cael?" She furrowed her brows as she spoke, hoping that she was getting it right. Though, she refrained from adding an additional name like he had. "Shopping for anyone in particular?" Logan inquired thoughtfully, a smile curling against her lips. @caelxmontgomery

[arlocontreras]

"Definitely best case." Arlo nodded, eyes shifting from the man to the other, shaking his head. "You going to be in this area for awhile?" he questioned, not trying to be weird but turning his back more towards the man under the tree, looking directly ta the other. "I don't want to leave you here alone in case this is some ploy." he stated, knowing he didn't need to say much more than that for her to get the hint. Arlo was absolutely trying to be a hero. "I'm sure you can hold your own." he paused. "But I would feel a lot better if you let me walk with you wherever you're headed until that guy disappears or you're ready to head out for the evening." @loganxwalker

[loganxwheeler]

"I was planning on hanging out until the food trucks got here." She glanced down at her watch, "Which is only about twenty minutes from now. I'd be happy to have you stay, honestly." She thinned her lips for a beat, "I can even buy you lunch if you have the time, just for being so nice." That seemed to be the Kismet Harbor way. "I hear it's the taco truck and the mac and cheese one if either of those tickle your fancy." Logan told him, her lips curling upward into a smile. "I know I could have gone down to the pier but this is just so much closer to my place." @arlocontreras

[mattswheeler]

He nodded as she talked. "I'm sure she'd love that." From what he knew of Aurora, he figured she would at least. "And she is more than welcome to bring the baby, too. And puppy if she needs." He smiled at his fiancé. "Yes. Let's definitely pick a date so people can plan ahead." He opened up the calendar application on his phone. "Do we want June? July? August?" He asked and looked over at Logan. @loganxwalker

[loganxwheeler]

"Awh, look at us being all inclusive at our future wedding." She grinned at Matt. Though her words were playful in nature, she genuinely was happy that they were considering this. "Maybe July. It fits with when we got engaged." She paused, "I don't think we will get lucky for booking a lot of vendors the weekend of the fourth but maybe," she thinned her lips in thought. "And since we are keeping it small, we won't really need a lot at all." Logan continued, "What do you think?" @mattswheeler

[auroraxblake]

Rory smiled and let a chuckle escape, "I can't even begin to think about her as a full fledged adult." she was of course still playful about it but it tugged on her heart strings to even think about Nellie as her own person, an adult who no longer needed her mom. She softened as the conversation turned to Logan's wedding, "I'm excited for you guys! Whatever you guys do, I'm sure it'll be beautiful." with her own wedding having been an elopement, she was always happy to see others and what they did. She had never wanted a big wedding herself but loved the idea of others celebrating that way. "It honestly is." @loganxwalker

[loganxwheeler]

"No, I bet not." Logan said with a laugh. "Luckily, that is still eons away at this point." Though she imagined that some part of that eon would go quicker than expected for the parents. "Yeah," she smiled warmly in her direction. "We are both really exciting. We wanted to wait, but," her head shook softly, "we also don't." A quiet laugh escaped her lips. "But, you know how that goes." There wasn't a hint of judgement in her tone, knowing that Rory and Brody had eloped. There was a part of her that had thought of doing that as well. @auroraxblake

END.

[arlocontreras]

Shaking his head as he followed her lead, Arlo exhaled. "No, I'd rather you not get too close to him." he admitted. "In case it was some sort ploy to get you closer for something dangerous." he admitted, now in front of the other, taking the lead. "I would like a witness, if you don't mind standing close by, but, I'll be the one to do the majority of th-" he paused just as the male figure moved, causing Arlo to jump a little. "Hello sir." he paused, just as the male began to mutter some sort of curse under his breath, causing Arlo to turn to look back at the other. "Well, I think that answers our question." @loganxwalker

[loganxwheeler]

Logan hated to think that Arlo could be right, but the world was not all sunshine and roses. Even as much as Kismet Harbor had seemed to give off that illusion, there had been enough articles written by her to show her that it was not that. Logan's breath caught in her throat as the man under the tree moved. She placed a hand over her now beating heart. "I think this is best case scenario, right?" Logan shifted her gaze over to Arlo and then quickly back to the man. @arlocontreras
