The "Strategic Planning" Session: Keigan & Rina's Wedding Date
[Jay's POV]
Now that the heirs' birthday was "Logged," the Watson mansion shifted its "Processing Power" to the next major event: Keigan and Rina's Wedding. The entire "Squad" was gathered in the glass-walled sunroom. Keifer had set up a 4K touchscreen monitor displaying a 24-month "Market Forecast," but instead of stocks, it was filled with venue availability, floral seasons, and "Tactical Weather Predictions."
"We need a 'Deployment Date'," Keifer announced, his stylus hovering over June. "I've analyzed the 'Optimal Lighting' for Rina's skin tone and the 'Probability of Rain' for the garden ceremony. June 12th has a 94% success rate."
The "Artistic" Veto: Rina's Vision
Rina shook her head, her sketchbook already filled with charcoal drawings of "Winter Elegance."
"No, Keifer. June is too... 'Standard'. I want 'Moody Minimalism'. I want the 'Contrast' of white snow against the Watson black-marble estate. I'm thinking December."
"December?!" Keiran yelped. "The 'Thermal Output' will be a disaster! Do you know how hard it is to look 'Cool' when your teeth are chattering at 100 BPM?"
"The 'Aesthetic' is non-negotiable, Keiran," Rina said calmly, looking at Keigan. "What does the 'Groom' think?"
The "Software" Glitch: Keigan's Input
Keigan was busy on his laptop, cross-referencing Rina's "Winter Vision" with the "Global Tech Conference" schedule.
"If we do December, I have a 'Version Update' launch in Silicon Valley on the 15th. If we move it to February, it clashes with the 'AI Summit'. However..." He looked up with a grin. "February 14th is open. It's 'Thematic'."
"Valentine's Day?" Ci-N groaned, throwing a grape at Keigan. "That's a 2,000% 'Cliche Error', Keigan. You're better than 'Basic Programming'."
The "True Boss" Weighs In: [Jay's POV]
The argument was reaching "High-Decibel" levels until a sharp, authoritative "EH!" cut through the room.
We all looked down. Aurora was standing by the monitor, holding her favorite "Watson-Gold" pointer. She looked at the December calendar, then at the February one. She let out a dismissive "Hmph" and pointed her finger directly at October.
"October?" Keifer leaned in, "Analyzing" the choice. "Autumnal Equinox. Mid-range temperatures. 'Optimal' for outdoor photography without 'Thermal Stress'. And..." he checked his tablet, "it marks the anniversary of the first day Rina was 'Integrated' into the Watson Design Team."
Aurora nodded once, firmly. "NOW."
"She didn't say 'Now' as in 'Today', Keifer," I laughed, picking her up. "She said 'Now' as in 'This is the Final Decision'. She just 'Force-Closed' your debate."
The "Final Sync": October 24th
"October 24th," Keigan said, looking at Rina. "Golden hour starts at 17:42. The 'Visual Fidelity' will be 1,000%."
Rina smiled, her eyes softening as she looked at her sketches. "Fine. The 'General' has spoken. October it is. Deep burgundies, burnt oranges, and 'High-Contrast' black lace."
"I'll handle the 'Security Perimeter'," Bridget announced, already marking her calendar. "No 'Paparazzi Breaches' allowed during the 'Exchange of Vows'."
"And I'll handle the 'Open Bar' diagnostics," Ci-N added, winking at Jay.
