Solana has a moment of panic when she remembers her sister Lydia is now a mother, with responsibilities.
Her own life trajectory goes forward at a slower pace.
Solana and Arne have been planning to marry for a long time. They just kept getting distracted with other things. Now that Lydia's moved in with them and has a kid, though, they're thinking about having their own, which reminds them... they haven't had a wedding yet.
On the morning of the wedding it starts to rain. Solana tries some mad science to change the weather, but her prototype machine fails. Still some bugs to work out.
At the last minute they have the venue changed for an indoor party.
This is the top floor of The Green Room.
Arne and Solana's parents are the first to arrive. Valter and Lynx, still buddies after all these years, immediately gravitate towards the expensive nectar. They'll probably need it to deal with Mariposa.
Valter has retired, but Lynx hasn't yet, and probably never will.
Allyson Thompson arrives in a wedding dress, apparently trying to upstage the bride?
Lily thinks she needs an umbrella.
Valerian won't stop crying.
Allyson won't stop crying either.
Arne and Solana do not care about these distractions, if they even notice them.
This is their special day.
Crowd reactions.
Cake and dancing.
The umbrellas proliferate.
Solana has a moment with her new mom-in-law.
Arne has a moment with his new mom-in-law.
Allyson has a moment with the caramel fountain.
I love Lily's disapproving stare here.
Lynx asks if Lydia is doing okay.
Hugs from Dad.
Valter is very proud of his son.
The party winds down. The newlyweds enjoyed themselves, but are happy to return home for a more private celebration.
Valerian ages up to toddler, but despite her aunt and uncle's best efforts, she is currently still the only child in her big pink nursery.

Etc.: Not much to say. After the multi-tasking struggles of the Quill legacy recently, playing a household where two of the members have normal rabbithole jobs to occupy their time is refreshing.
