Dunno what this is, but okay!
QUEEN, SMOAK MARRY AT CITY HALL
STAR CITY– In an unexpected move Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Oliver Queen and on-again, off-again girlfriend Felicity Smoak married in a civil ceremony at City Hall. The couple, who have not publicly acknowledged their relationship since their decision to break off their engagement last spring, tied the knot with fewer than a dozen people in attendance.
The bride wore a strapless, knee-length Monique Lhuillier gown of ivory lace over silk, with bright blue Jimmy Choo heeled sandals, while the groom chose a tailored Armani suit in charcoal grey. The new Mrs. Smoak-Queen carried a bouquet of sunflowers, and was seen wearing a large, square-cut diamond that closely resembles the Queen family heirloom she was given last year by Mayor Queen to mark their first engagement.
As word spread among the Mayor’s staff and then across social media sites, a small crowd gathered outside City Hall. When questioned, members of the crowd said they were just hoping for a glimpse of the city’s celebrity couple.
“I love them!” explained Natasha Sherwin, 27, of the Glades. “I really didn’t think I could ever support someone named Queen after their involvement in the Undertaking, but the mayor has done some real good.”
“Felicity Smoak is amazing,” added Serena Lake, 39, of Star City. “I work at Palmer Tech, and you’d never expect the CEO to apologize for bumping into you in the kitchen, but she did. And then she fixed my phone for me. I’m glad she’s happy. She’s been through a lot.”
The raucous support for the newly married Smoak-Queen duo seemed to catch them off guard when they exited the small courtroom hand in hand to spontaneous cheers from the crowd. The couple paused to wave and pose for a few pictures on the steps of City Hall; Mayor Queen, in particular, seemed unable to do anything besides smile at his new wife.
Sherwin summed up the fascination of the gathered crowd when she pressed a hand to her heart and said, “Do you see the way he looks at her? Relationship goals.”
The happily married Smoak-Queens declined comment on their way out of City Hall; it is unknown whether they will host a formal reception, but the groom’s sister, Thea Queen, confirmed that the duo is planning a delayed honeymoon over the holidays.
“We’re all happy,” Ms. Queen stated. “Because they finally made it!”
