1st May 2026. Aggie and Eric's Day.

Hope just enjoyed the opportunity to be clean and put together and out of the soil for once not that she didn't enjoy being one with nature, but it's nice once in awhile to feel pretty!

Season 3 of BNYfm is NOW OPEN!

S3e01 - Here Comes The Bride

Held in the iconic central park gazebo, White and black paper decorations hand made by residents and the children, lanterns, and solar fairy lights around the trees in Central park and the log gazebo, chairs and tables have been set out and set with the fanciest settings Ember could find. @ashton-ryder having Officiated, @ruthellry walked the Bride down the Aisle, @aspenhorowitz and @rhianwells as bridesmaids, Oscar and @rioreeve as groomsmen, and the cutest little twin ring bearer and flower girl respectively, everything went off without a hitch. Now, The I do's have been said, the kiss was sweet and filled with genuine love. Aggie even spoke, as she does SO infrequently, to thank everyone for everything. The first time for many of hearing her voice. Currently, the banquet tables are covered with delicious food prepared by @pxtitxrosx, @rosiesdiner and @survivalxofxthexfittest (Emily). Michelle Guo (npc) is serving drinks at a small simple bar made by one of the residents. The gazebo has been turned into a dance floor for residents, complete with a set of standing dance lights that someone plugged into a little generator, which was also running the sound system for the music being played by CDs and DJ'd by @wellsinvesting. Dusk has fallen, the solar lights are coming on all around the area, and the twinkling of the fairy lights strung in the trees and in the gazebo light up the space with a warm glow that matches the mood of the residents.

Welcome to the season 3 opening event! Feel free to write your starters/threads at any time during the wedding day! Remember to bold lines of dialogue, tag time AND location (this helps with the tldr at the end of the event as well as the timeline.), and most of all have fun! Everyone 's at the wedding, so characters that wouldn't usually interact can get to mingle! Sounds like a recipe for hijinks and drama!

SO excited for the fresh start besties!

Feel free to finish older threads at your discretion, but please tag with Season 2 or some form of signifier to that effect. Flashback threads for over the last two years are fine as well!

"So, tell me—"

Knox sat in the chair next to Hope, looking far more suspicious than he would probably like to, but that's how he usually came across - making simple questions sound mischievous when he asked them. This time, it soon turned out fair and

"—what kinda plants do we want around here this year? Cause all these wildflowers look pretty and carrots are more than okay, I guess, but..."

He furrowed his brows and looked at Hope.

"How about weed?"

Here Comes The Bride - event & season 3 intro

I do.

They signed, then said these two words out loud, smiling so much he was positive it guaranteed wrinkles. She had the most beautiful bouquet, a dress so impeccably white it didn't fit the damaged world, and she looked like an angel he had fallen in love with the moment he saw her on the beach over two years prior. Only this time her bright smile must have looked much more like the old Aggie, and Eric knew he wanted to give her a thousand more reasons to bring it out more often.

A simple white gold wedding ring joined the diamond ring that once belonged to Anne Sanders; the very same one that had to be retrieved from Eric's house in Brooklyn so he could propose to Aggie using his mother's favorite ring.

"I've been in love with you since I saw you. Since I first talked to you. Since the day you saw the most broken version of me I've ever been. I want to breathe the air that carries your scent and never leave your side. My guardian angel. My friend. My most valued treasure. My wife...?"

With a little help from Knox and Petronella, it was more like a fun trip to a different borough rather than something close to a suicide mission. The universe simply didn't dare stand in the way of their love and Eric was ready to fight it if it did.

"I said I'd never die for a woman, but she's so much more; what would you do for Emily? See, that's me and Aggie. I never felt like that around Veronica or anyone else."

And then he and the Lovelace siblings left the Wexley, while Zach stayed with his family, definitely not invited to join them as his family needed him. With a freshly done tattoo and the keys he hadn't used in not less than three years in his backpack, Eric knew what he needed to do to get his life back.

"There is something so badass about being armed on your wedding day," he joked to Aggie, meaning the gun in the holster glued to his side. Leaving the Wexley's safety equaled carrying a weapon of choice to ensure safety - one of the laws The Council had agreed on. He put his arms around his newly wed wife in a slow, nearly ethereal dance now that they could finally catch a breath. His fingers moved against Aggie's back, drawing some pattern.

I-LOVE-YOU.

"Until my soul dies," he added so quietly that only Aggie could hear him.

Here Comes The Bride - event & season 3 intro

Weeps and cries filled the room as two healthy babies joined the community. Even Zuri had to hold back the tears of joy and pride, but she had a mom to take care of. Zach needed to be by Emily's side as well. They would welcome Rio and Ian together, but now she needed him there, just like he had to be sure his better half was fine. He let her dig her fingers into his wrist when the pain was unbearable — her index finger would leave a tiny scar that he would wear with pride.

He kept running his fingers through her hair tenderly, kissing her shoulder with affection to calm her down — Zuri's terms and conditons were clear as day when she allowed him to join them. No peeking, no fainting, no panic. Be her support, don't be an additional problem. He let them do their job and focused on how brave, strong, and beautiful Emily was; once everything had quieted down, Zach scooched over beside her and used their last moments as a duet to fall in love with her all over again as they both fell asleep.

She was his everything. People overused this term before the end of the world, and Zach was sure nothing had changed in this matter, but it was no overstatement. He doubted he would even still be there if she hadn't appeared in the Wexley. He would have done something reckless, he would have let his guard down as the weight of his emotions got too much to shoulder. He had managed to stay clear-headed for his family, but without Em, there would be no family.

Zach raised his eyes from the thin white crescent-shaped line and looked at the kids. It still confused Rio and Ian whenever Uncle Eric was babysitting them; he looked just like Dad, but his hair wasn't blue, which made even less sense. And while Rio was busy studying a single strand of Aggie's blonde hair, turning and folding it in her tiny hands, Zach couldn't hide his amusement when he saw Ian's bewildered but smiling expression when his eyes landed on Eric again.

"Aren't they the most beautiful people this planet has ever seen?" Zach put his arms around Emily's frame, pulling her back close to his chest. This had to be the first time in ages since he wore anything so monochromatic, but his brother's wedding was an occasion that called for a more classic look, and their children looked like their parents' copies. "Thank you," he said quietly, his words meant for Emily's ears only as he pressed a kiss to the side of her neck and put his hand on her belly like she didn't know what he was so thankful for. "We'd make two more if the world wasn't like this," he half-joked and turned her around so they could face each other. Even when he wasn't smiling, he had more reasons to be happy than he could ask for.

"Wanna go for a walk while the kids are busy?"
