Once they reach the house, Sam kisses Castiel's cheek and says he needs to go to his office for a while. To make the various phone calls that are needed to set things up for the next day.
Which is when Ellen swoops in to take Castiel's arm with a promise to get him settled. Which includes a cup of tea and a promise to let him come to her garden and see what she has planted. Because nobody else in the pack is anywhere near as into gardening as Ellen is. Though she does promise, with a wink, that she'll wait at least a couple of days after the wedding before dragging him out to the garden.
Once that's done, there's another trip out to the cottage with Castiel's bags to help get him settled in. Most of Sam's stuff has been migrating out over the past week, so while the cottage isn't exactly lived in, yet, it's not sterile. There are definitely signs of life there. The pack is still getting the place wired for cable and internet, but Ellen makes certain Castiel knows he's welcome at the main house at any time. Even if he might have to share the TV in the common room with Charlie and Kevin gaming.
By the time they get back to the main house, the rest of the pack has arrived home. And Sam is out of the office so that he can make the necessary introductions. The pack is fairly small, really, running heavily to Betas (Charlie, Kevin and Ash), with Jo the only other Alpha in residence, though Sam mentions a younger half brother in college who is an Alpha as well.
All too soon, it's time to sit down for supper, the table expanded for the new seating arrangement. Though, by the time everybody sits, it's obvious that somebody is missing, with the chair on Castiel's other side being empty as yet.
