WINTER WONDERLAND GROUP LOG

[holynights]

When the happy confirmed couples are ready to venture out of their honeymoon suites and experience more that the Winter Wonderland lodge has to offer, they'll find that they're basically staying as some of the only guests in an exquisite, all-inclusive winter resort. Think Sandals, but with snow instead of beaches. While the honeymooners will be whisked away to the camp retreat for the middle week of the competition, there's plenty for them to explore when they return!

As more couples transition from Mistletoe Manor to the resort itself, everyone may run into each other during the day while in search of activities. They might have breakfast together at the buffet, head out on a skiing adventure together, visit the pool without having to worry about cameras zooming in on wardrobe malfunctions, or simply hang out together and enjoy some live entertainment during one of the occasional ballroom concerts. If none of that is particularly tempting, they can entertain themselves by putting together their own events.

Most activities and entertainment are likely available, at least sometimes, at the resort. The only real limitation is that participants aren't allowed to leave the show's general domain - they can't find a nearby town or book a flight out of here, for example. Travel between honeymoon suites and Mistletoe Manor is freely available, and while honeymooners are expected back in their shared beds at night, there's no one really doing nightly checks.

If anyone would like to invite other honeymooners back to their suite for a spell, all they have to do is request an extra key (tell Shay and she'll add the new person/people to the filter)

[He breaks the eggs about as badly as any person who doesn't know how to do this can break eggs. But once cracked he mixes them in a small little dish on their own, listening to her speak.]

Not knowing at the time what you do know now... You can hardly be blamed for your words. And it was how you felt. There will ever be things we regret saying or not saying. They will plague us but there is no way to know, in those moments, if they were the right or wrong thing to say. Forgiving ourselves for these indiscretions is all we can do especially when it comes to those who are no longer with us.

[His eggs beaten he moves the small dish aside so he pick up the dish of the brandy coated candy fruit. As instructed gently pours in a little at a time into her bowl while she stirs the dry ingredients.]

No easy feat, of course... But I do like to think had we the opportunity to know for sure they would offer easy forgiveness. My brother taught me many things and some were lessons but others I learned just by being raised by him. And I knew that no matter my indiscretion or the words that would leave me... I would always find forgiveness in him. There was nothing in the world I could do to make him hate me. Nothing that would allow that hurt to persist or for that love to flicker out. I am sure it is not so different for yourself, Dominique. You were, after all, twins.
