Look Inside the magical wedding for Hunter and Bliss!

Comments 0 Comment

When Hunter proposed to Bliss amid Dimitri coming back into town to cause havoc on the canvas by stalking her, divorcing her to try to marry Selina in a ploy and use Fox as a weapon we knew we wanted them to get married this season.  It had been mentioned a few times by Mason that the sooner they got married it was for the better as far as custody of Fox went a few times and they both considered eloping. We had one other major wedding we wanted to do with Jackson and Dani who actually eloped on the original one so it was a nice change of play instead to play that angle instead with Bliss and Hunter. So we wanted to give our readers the inside look into the magical Christmas wedding for them. Including their color scheme, some insight into the outfits, how they embraced their joining symbolically and the theme song. We do plan on making this a feature for our huge weddings on the show going forward so please enjoy!

The Dress and Bride

Chris: I knew from the inception of season 2 we’d have two very different but romantic and beautiful weddings. Bliss as the bride I wanted something dramatic but very soft. I thought that encapsulated Bliss character perfectly. At this moment Bliss deserved to be breathtaking in this flower shaped mermaid dress was what I settled on. The velvet bow details sold it due to Hunter’s tux.  The train in the back looks of petals and has hand beaded crystals on it. Accentuated with elbow length burgundy ballroom gloves, a heirloom tiara, and a lace veil.  I knew Bliss would be breathtaking and instead of something more traditional which she wore in her wedding to Dimitri. In this moment she got to pick her own style. This would be her last time walking down the aisle so Bliss went out with a classic and stunning gown.

The Groom and Fox

Kelly: So when Chris was planning season 2 and planned their Christmas wedding I knew that Hunter would go all out with romance and soft subtle lines showing their tender romance. So what did we do we started browsing images online for our characters and I happened to see this article on Brides.com about winter/fall weddings and fell in love with the idea of a velvet tuxedo. I then found this burgundy and evergreen tux inside of it that matched the sexiness of how the Kincaid mansion would be decorated as their backdrop and was sold. I loved the softness of the lines that velvet would bring and the soft touch it would be plus how sexy Hunter would look standing there in the dim glow of Christmas lights wearing it at the altar and Fox as his best man, in a mini matching tux.

The Unity Candle

Kelly: When we were talking about the wedding for Hunter and Bliss we both thought that to signify that Hunter was not only taking Bliss as his wife but Fox as his son it made sense for them to signify that moment where they joined their life together. For Hunter it is reflective of his entire identity as Steven Kincaid’s son being the man that takes on a wife and step son and unifying with her symbolically. He never actually lit a unity candle with Max as they had more of a secular wedding ceremony so I knew that for him he would want to do something different with Bliss. It’s not just about him and his new wife, he is joining with her and her son and what better way to signify that than literally joining a candle together?

Chris: When two becomes one is what comes to mind with the unity candles. I think this signifies the sincerity of Hunter and Bliss in this moment. They are two souls becoming one and that’s what really makes this perfect. In all of the darkness of Dimitri reign he’s created light in Fox. Fox the innocence and Bliss other great love without accepting Fox, she couldn’t love Hunter so fully. This symbolically is Bliss finally letting go of her baggage also with Dimitri and I think this moment is truly special to Hunter and Bliss.

The Colors Burgundy/Evergreen/White

We knew that we wanted Hunter and Bliss married on Christmas so we knew that a family like the Kincaid’s would be draped in luxurious red and green and when I found Hunter’s tux and Chris found Bliss’s dress we were like this is perfect for them. White, represents purity and a fresh start which is perfect for both Hunter and Bliss being their second marriage a piece and a union of their families with Fox.  Red/Burgundy, represents passion, energy and excitement something that fits both their personalities well and how they have grown as a couple. Green/Evergreen, represents renewal, rebirth and a balancing of emotions which given what Bliss has been through with Dimitri and Hunter had been through with Max it made it the perfect scheme for them.

The Song “Never Let Me Go” by Florence and the Machine

Chris: How did I pick a song about drowning and turn it into Hunter and Bliss’s wedding song? Well it was simple I if you look at the lyrics it truly fits Bliss situation with Dimitri and Hunter. Hunter is her place to rest her head and he’s her ocean. She feels so guilty for leaving Fox and feels as if she is a sinner and heaven has given her Hunter. Bliss was programmed to feel unworthy of love and this is devotion that Hunter has delivered Bliss to the other side. This song is beautifully haunting if you think of it with that in mind with the lyrics and how Florence sings that she’s going under but not giving up. Bliss was broken but she didn’t give up on life, love, having a family, and being whole again. I can go on and for a long time but this is my pick for their wedding song.

2×19 “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” Part 1
Written by: Chris Coleman and Kelly Zollo
Theme Song: Everybody Wants To Rule The World- Tears for Fears
Guest Starring: Harvey LeClerq (Sean Bean), Charles Hessington (Don Johnson), Lex Hessington (Adam Driver), Julian O’Sullivan (Pierce Brosnan), Amanda Creed (Gillian Anderson) and Ivanka Rezinkov (Rebecca Furgerson)

Greer dusted her cheeks in her vanity with blush. Today was her big day and her father had told her that this was her second chance to help the LeClerq family. After all Harvey and daddy had done they could after the Devonshire’s and everyone betrayed them. They were left out in the cold. Not only that but her father went to jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Her uncle had raised her for a period and she wouldn’t forgive what they did to their family. Revenge was so close. This scandal would be enough for MontCorp stock to dive. That was exactly what they needed. Her uncle had a dummy company that MontCorp would buy and from there they’d take over. If they had enough stock from the stockholders from this scandal. Forbes was about to partner with a rapist and if she could take them down while seeming like she’s helping. Greer heard keys in her condo door and her father was back. Walking to her robe she slipped it on to tighten it around her tiny waist. Strolling down the stairs she saw her handsome father and she rushed into his arms. She kissed his cheeks as he raised her off the ground. “Father.”

Greer looked into his eyes and knew he wasn’t happy with her. She wasn’t about to compromise her relationship with Brock to take down the Devonshire’s. She however knew that he was what he wanted last time she was sure he was about to declare her relationship with Brock over. She was ready for it. As her eyes narrowed seeing someone extend their arm out with flowers. Her favorite flower white roses. Whomever this was knew her and she let go of her father and took the flowers from the mysterious arm and gasped when her uncle stepped out. Before Greer knew it she began to become emotional just seeing her uncle in America. He swore off the country after they railroaded her father. As she kissed his cheeks holding Harvey tightly in her arms. “Oncle Harvey, qu’est-ce que tu fais ici?”

“Well I am here to talk to you about what your father thought you should be doing. We just had quite the conversation. I explained that you aren’t a weapon to be constantly used.” Harvey said sternly looking at his brother then turning on the charm. “I’m here to meet with an old friend but that isn’t to be discussed. I’m here to explain if you don’t want to go after Chauncey Devonshire ever again, we both support you. I however do think you are better than a Fraiser but I digress.” Harvey walked to the couch and looked at the skyline of Atlas Falls and felt his heart swelling. “I haven’t been in this city in a long time. My thinking is much more cerebral than your father. He swings the axe of vengeance, I prefer a much more different tactic. Do I believe Forbes and Lowell deserve to pay absolutely and do I want them to hurt badly deeply. I don’t think you should have to carry our burdens. So I’m here to ask you Greer if you want to continue. If you don’t then I assure you that I or your father will go meet with Forbes and the Montgomery’s today.” Harvey crossed his arms “Cher frère, dis ce que tu dois penser. Vous ne pouvez pas croire que c’est sain pour Greer?”

Pierre has been prepared to tell Greer to go back into the Devonshire fold at the moment they were winning and as much as his little agreement with Forbes had worked for now, it was time to cut their losses and get back on track with revenge against Lowell. He was tired of waiting around and playing games with Forbes and watching as Tess Blisston got her happy ending with Lowell while all the hard work and planning had been for nothing when it came to Zerick and Greer. It was also the reason he had moved on to his revenge on Walter too everyone was so focused on Forbes and the drama with Dimtiri it made his new alliance with Dru, an alliance that his brother nor Greer needed to know about. His brother simply because old wounds were hard to ignore when it came to Harvey and his love hate relationship with Altas Falls and seeing how he still carried a torch for an older but still vibrant certain brunette in town well he wasn’t going to take his chances. His plan with Dru would make sure that his attention was not just on Lowell but on the other man that had testified against him Walter everyone forgot that little part of their past in town that it was Walter who had confessed on the stand that he embezzled and for a time it was the one thing that broke apart his brother and that ungrateful bitch that was Walter’s wife. He was not so quick to forget or maybe Harvey had went soft whatever the case he wanted to make sure that both Walter and Lowell got what was coming to them.

DELACROIX ESTATE; KITCHEN

The smell of honey baked ham with pineapples and cloves had filled the kitchen. As Marvin Gaye ‘What’s Going On’ echoed in the speakers above her head. This was the first time her father wasn’t cooking Thanksgiving and it was on her. Jamal had asked her to come to his home and cook. She wanted to see everyone because things were becoming to raw with Dimitri. Ever since the first time he assaulted her he’d become more sadistic. Just this morning he slapped her around all over the hotel room. Her lip was busted and her eye black. She’d covered it the best she could, her bang covered her eye and dark lipstick on her lip. It was still noticeable but she couldn’t help but hide it.  She was just focused on making the best Thanksgiving meal because her father wasn’t in attendance. As she walked to the oven she looked at the turkey and began to baste the turkey. Taking a bite of the dressing she knew it was done as she took it out of the oven. Exhaling she heard someone at the door and looked up at her brother and Zach walking in. Jamal was picking up some sort of surprise and his mom. She talked to him on the phone earlier.

“Hey I’m just getting the pies out right now. The turkey and ham almost done. I pulled out the dressing and the greens are still cooking. We have potato salad, deviled eggs, spaghetti, baked macaroni and cheese, I got cakes, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and all type of other type of treats and appetizers since daddy isn’t coming this year.” She hadn’t looked up at Mason or Zach as she kept going. “I just want it to be perfect because we all have so much going on you know? We don’t get to see each other. And I know you are so mad at daddy but I miss him.” Selina covered her mouth knowing that she was just compensating for the pain she was in. She was shaking and she saw Mason moving closer to her. “I’m fine Mason please just give me a moment.” Selina couldn’t help it before she knew it she collapsed to the floor and she felt Zach holding her. “I’m okay.” She said looking at Mason who was staring at her face too hard.

Jamal had Val hand as he walked into his condo kitchen. He had his father outside ready to apologize to not just Mason but them all. When he saw Selina on the floor he began to move closer to his sister and let go of Val hand. “Val go get my mom and tell her to come in the kitchen.” He watched Val rushing off to get his mom who was setting the table and setting the Mexican side of Thanksgiving. The tamales, chilaquiles, mole, and elotes were his favorite mixing soulfood and his momma Mexican cooking. When he got closer to Selina he saw her eye and lip he looked at Mason and Zach with concern in his eyes.

“Selina, sis you been throwing down in the kitchen pops would be proud.” He said looking at her crying hysterically on the floor he looked at Mason and he began to feel her pain. Stooping down by Mason and Selina he sat Indian style and looked at his beautiful big sister. “Selina your eye um sis. Your eye looks like it’s black and your lips is clearly busted. I don’t want to make any assumptions but you on the floor crying in Mason arms and you look like this. Is Dimitri? Is the motherfucker beating on you Selina?”

It all seemed to pour out of her because Mason and Jamal were mirrors she couldn’t hide from. Especially Mason the way he looked at her she knew it all had to come out. “I’m not this woman Mason. I’m not this girl who gets abused by her lover oh my God. I’m being beaten and I don’t know how to get away. He’s everywhere and I’m so scared. He’s going to kill me one day and the way he talks about Bliss and that baby. Oh my God I shouldn’t have doubted her. What kind of woman does that? What kind of woman does that? I’m Selina Delacroix how could this be happening to me? I’m not supposed to be beaten.” She began to bawl into Mason shoulder.

Theme Song: Daughtry “Coming Home”

ST. CHRISTOPHER’S WOMEN’S CENTER; PRIVATE ROOM

Jackson stood inside the room as Ophelia and Kelsey along with a team of six nurses all swooped in around Dani. His eyes got wide as they hooked her up to all the machines and started checking each baby. A nervousness ate at him what if something happened just like with Chauncey and Logan? He took his parents from his brother on the most important day of his life. He had never forgiven himself for being so selfish. Chauncey actually needed their parents and he faked an overdose. Something they had discussed recently as he felt his heart pounding. What if they were cursed and history repeated itself. Jackson stepped out of the room and walked directly into Chauncey and Rory who patted him on the back. He looked at his brother and immediately grabbed his brothers hugging them. He didn’t know what was coming over him but he was emotional. He was about to become a father and he was losing his father not to mention that he might have another sibling. As he pulled back he looked back at the room with Lauren and Dani laughing. She didn’t look worried at all and he was so afraid of what could happen.

“I’m afraid. What if what happened to Logan happens to Dani?” Jackson said looking at Chauncey. “I don’t think I’ve said sorry enough for keeping mom and dad away from you when Maddie was born. We have had the ugliest history but I love my niece and I love you, big bro. I’m just scared how do I not screw up these two little people lives? I mean mom and dad gave me everything and I was such a fuck up. How do I make them well-adjusted kids? I mean there is no manual for kids. I just want to figure out all this shit. How do I be the best dad I can be? I mean we might not get along Chauncey but the love you have for Maddie can’t be denied. I see you and if you have any weakness it’s that little girl. Man, how can I live up to dad, you, and uncle Linus? I’ve had so many good males in my life but I don’t know if I’m a role model. Look at me ex-junkie and…” He stopped as he felt the fear waving over him. “I just don’t want to screw up man. You know I don’t want to let her down or those two perfect kids about to come into the world.”

Chauncey had arrived at the hospital as fast as he could with Maddie at first he had thought about not coming till later but something told him he should be there. Once he had arrived and saw his sister and Sebastian in the waiting room he had wandered around the floor for a bit. Natasha was off somewhere he supposed making some calls to her contacts to make sure they could get back in with her suppliers about the defense contracts. When he peered down the hallway though and saw a glimpse into the room and the machines he was reminded of Logan though Logan never had that amount of staff around her. Everything with Maddie’s birth had been calm, up until it wasn’t when she refused to dilate past a seven. They had consented to the c section by then and she was wheeled back for surgery. He was there when it happened in the room saw them bring Maddie out and then Logan start crashing. The cord was wrapped around Maddie and she was duress but came out fine, Logan, on the other hand, he remembered she was pale on the table and they rushed him out something about stopping the bleeding. It took him months to find out the truth, she had developed a placenta eruption along with the cord cutting off blood supply. He watched as Jackson began to freak out and knew he didn’t have it in him to make it worse on his brother the anxiety and the worry was enough.

“Dani has an entire team surrounded by her look how many doctors and nurses are monitoring her. Ophelia is one of the best at this very hospital that has dealt with this type of stuff a lot.” Chauncey said looking at him and he knew Jackson was sorry he knew from the letter his brother had written, he had been apologizing for months for it. He saw Jackson pacing still and walked with him taking his mind off things for now or at least just giving support he figured Lauren was in there with Dani or Dani kicked him out, he remembered how mad Logan was during her labor, how nervous he was. “I think you and Dani got this Jackson what happened with Logan was entirely different she was induced, they monitored her late and sometimes God’s not forgiving when it happens. Two completely different situations at hand. Maddie was the best thing to happen that day and if for some reason that was the same outcome today your two children would be the best outcome for you too. I don’t think that’s going to happen though okay? You have to stop and breathe or whatever shit she would tell you to do, she needs to you to be calm and collected right now. They need you to do that. I’m not going to shit on you today this is a lot of stress and I know we may have had shit in the past and I’d say something to set you off but not today alright?”

YASMINE’S CONDO

Yasmine lotioned up her legs in Khalil’s basketball jersey and nothing else. Yesterday was a mess and somehow she got roped into showing her Godsister, Belle the city. She didn’t know what to think about her new siblings. Cassie was cold and distant while Philip was sarcastic and bitter. Not exactly the type of people you’d want to be related too. She could hear Khalil stepping out the shower. She just wanted him to hold her after all the bullshit of her first meeting with Cassie and Philip. Not to mention the wine toss heard around the world. It was epic to see her mother act so buck but damn it was also painful. Her entire life she dreamed of what her daddy was like and now to have him was scary. He was a perfect ideal in her mind but Cassie warning echoed in her mind. From what she googled about Forbes he wasn’t to be played with. That was no doubt where she got her to take no prisoners attitude from. Laying back in the bed she closed her eyes and saw Khalil standing over her in a robe. He was so sexy with his big head ass.

“You’ve been so sweet since the dinner from hell.” She said pouting looking at him. “Why couldn’t I get two nicer siblings. I can’t stand Cassie icy ass and Philip was just an asshole. I don’t know how I am going to connect to him. The rich and have had everything that I never did. I don’t know what to talk about with them Khalil. Oh, how were the private schools you attended? How was your momma doing the opera singer who killed herself? Or how about how my big brother had me twerking in his strip club. I’m just lost for what I should do. How I should approach them because I don’t want it to be like this between us. Like if it keeps this way it’ll be Audrey kids vs Trisha kid vs Angelica kids. I just think we shouldn’t be beefing for shit our parents did. I didn’t have shit to do with their parents splitting up. I’ve been on my own. Not only that did you hear my moms? She was on her boss shit because she was like you should have sent them away! I was like mom really!” Yasmine said jumping up hyped up. “I just want it to be cool between us all you know?”

Khalil had woken up that morning after the night from hell and realized he only wanted to do one thing take Yasmine’s mind off all her family shit. He had decided maybe a trip to the dance studio was in order but then when he stepped into the main room and saw her in his jersey his mind went elsewhere. Her naked silk chocolate legs catching his eyes as he walked towards the bed and put her legs in his lap massaging her foot listening to her talk about her mom and her new siblings. He had sat silently through the dinner it was not his place to judge anyone and if he had been Cassie, Philip or Yasmine he was certain he may have had the same reaction that they did. He gently took the tablet from her as he heard some beats on the radio playing and reached for the remote to turn it up. Gently flipping her on her belly he moved the shirt up to expose her back and took his hands and some nearby oil kneading them into her back.

“Your family is fucked up that is for sure but Yasmine you’ve waited your whole life to met your father and get to know him. It’s not your fault or theirs that he never told anyone that shit is on them and maybe they’ll come around in a few weeks. You have so much good stuff to focus on right now getting to know him and the upcoming dance studio first performance.” Khalil said seeing her raise her arms to the bedpost he gently took the shirt off. Her back was smooth as silk as his hands worked lower and lower to her hips, she was humming to the music and he lowered his lips to her neck kissing her from behind while his hands moved on her ass, gently rolling her over he looked at her. “I want you. I know you haven’t been ready but baby you’re killing me” He said looking down at her wanting to know why she was holding out with him and only hoping it wasn’t because of fucking Devonshire of all people. He hoped they were past that shit he wanted to make love to her. “I did say I was going to take your mind off family drama today I want to be able to do that.”

Yasmine laughed as she looked at him pleading. She knew she was wrong for keeping this boy waiting this long. He was her first and she’d learned quite a few tricks since they last were together. Pulling him into the bed by his towel which fell off and she saw his perfect ass. She smirked. “I want you too.” She said softly leaning in and kissing him. She truly hadn’t opened up since she was betrayed by Rory. It was horrible how one man could fuck up your trust in all men. She saw that Kendrick was riding for her at one point and so was Rory but both of them let her down and to make matters worse Khalil hadn’t. He was honest and always providing her with feelings she wasn’t ready for yet. She didn’t want to be the girl who couldn’t let go of the past. That wasn’t her motivation.

Touching his chest she leaned in and kissed him. “I know I haven’t been the best girlfriend. I have been distant and I just haven’t been available to you enough. But today I want you to make me yours. I want you to make love to me all day and night until the sunset and rises because we deserve this. We deserve a shot at being normal and happy. Rolling on top of him she smirked as she kissed him again. “So am I a WAG now? Like I heard the Knicks were sniffing around you at a tryout. I’m sorry I don’t think I can just be one of those girls who lives her life for a man. So if you expect me to put my dreams on hold that’s not going to happen alright?” Yasmine declared passionately. “Now what’s up boo.” She could feel him stiffening underneath her.

Khalil felt himself stiffening when she was speaking to him being this close to her was agony sometimes and when she said she was okay with moving forward he felt like relief flooded him. Leaning down he kissed her deeply his hands moving along her sides and over her breasts. He took his time savoring the moment and making the kiss last long as he broke his lips from hers and began to move down her body. He felt her hands go to his hair and looked up at her as he took her breast gently in his mouth kissing and biting, sucking on her chocolate nub. His eyes never left hers as he continued to please her with his mouth. His hands moved to her ass gently squeezing as he moved his lips to her other breast and repeated the action seeing her biting her lip and enjoying what he was giving her. He let go of her nipple watching as it stood erect in the temperature of the room he lowered his head to her belly laying a gentle kiss there. “Hell, no baby you my boo. I got you this time and I’m not about to look screw this the fuck up by looking at someone else. Not to mention you love to dance I’d never and I mean never take that away from you.”

He lowered his mouth on her stomach again as he gently spread her legs with his hand and then pressed two fingers into her heat, he was going to please her show her how much he loved her. Show her that she was the only one that he wanted and that was the truth sure other bitches hung around the court but the only eyes he had were on her. He saw her hips squirming and watching her on the bed he lowered his head to her pussy. Licking along one wall then the next as he began to suck on her, feast on those folds of chocolate in his mouth watching her cream on his lips and tongue. “I love you, Yasmine, I always have.” He said gently as he moaned seeing her getting wetter, his hands went to her nipples squeezing gently feeling her buck and he couldn’t help the smile that came out against her heat. He let the music set the pace as he continued to drive her wild intent on having her begging for him.
