Video: In case you HAVEN'T heard

[wrench_and_ruffles]

[The rain has been somewhat limiting Kaylee's activities. While it's not an issue on the ship, it's put a damper on any attempts to go scavenging to work on the apartment/workshop project. But she's quite content to distract herself with other matters. Which is why her smiling face is appearing on the communicator.]

So I reckon a lot of you already know [She giggles at the memory of the commotion by the tanks. And of course Luke hasn't been quiet about it either] but me 'n Luke are gettin' married. So... lotta things to figure out.

Like findin' someone who can perform a ceremony. [Two people from different worlds meeting in a third and marrying in a fourth... she probably shouldn't worry overmuch on the specifics there] And findin' a dress! [She's excited for that one] Anyone know about flowers here? Gotta be just about spring, right?

Can probably get some wine ready in time, at least...

[And then she suddenly realizes] Duibuqi, I'm babblin', ain't I?

[Really he's got a dozen other things that he's trying to figure out and handle right now but there's something about some good in all this chaos that he can't help answering, even if his paranoia keeps him from showing his face just yet. He's too careful to imply what he's about to in this conversation without at least some measure of protection and he is careful to adapt his manners of speech to match hers rather than his native Irish or the learned drawl of American Southwest.]

What kinda ceremony are you lookin to have? There's lotsa different ones.

Re: [voice]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Bit of a mix. We blended American and Chinese traditions on the border worlds, and wouldn't be right to no have some from Luke's planet too.

[Audio]

[nodavinci]

Ask Thor. I'm pretty sure demigods have the authority to pronounce people married.

[Also, making Thor preside over a wedding would just be funny.]

[voice]

[wisdom_of_hounds]

Chinese huh? That's interesting. So there's no particular faiths you're wanting to use? Just something more culturally appropriate if I get your meaning.

video. sorry. she's hyper

[fotlenke]

Oh, Lady Kaylee I heard of your nuptials and I am so pleased that love flourishes upon this planet. May Freya bless you and your union and your dear heart of hearts!

[ Sigyn is just over the moon, okay. ]

Ah. If no one has yet volunteered, I would be happy to perform a ceremony. My mother is goddess of Love after all. She's blessed many a union, and each union has been bountiful and happy.

[ Oh and the dress!! ]

You must see to the tailors in the city! They are very skilled indeed and would make you a most lovely dress to befit your blushing goodness.

[hypospraying]

[Oh, so that was what the ear-piercing shriek of SHE SAID YES! was all about.]

I think it's your right to babble. Congratulations.

[Kaylee, you are too adorable, what. Pepper's dimples are out in full force as she smiles from across the video feed.]

I have a little experience when it comes to trying to get large crowds of people moving in the same direction and eating the same canapes. If you'd like my help, you've got as much of it as you can stand.

Has Tony mentioned where my apartment is? You should come over. Right away. Bring friends, I have wine.

[girlworthfighting]

Congratulations! May the two of you be blessed with a long life of happiness together.

[She still hasn't met Luke, and her and Kaylee only know each other as casual acquaintances, but that doesn't mean the news is any less worthy of celebration.]

Re: [voice]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Just culture. Things're a bit looser on the border worlds, and we come from such different places anyway.

Re: [Audio]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

I'd... never really thought about that.

[It is certainly an... interesting image]

That's okay. She's hyperer.

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Thank you!

Your Ma is the goddess of love?

[She's not surprised, exactly. But pretty excited about that fact. It's amazing.]

Hopefully red won't be too hard to come by. It's traditional and all. It should be fun though!

Re: [video]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Thank you! It's all so excitin'!

let's be hyper together Madame Energizer

[fotlenke]

Aye! She protects and serves the domains of the heart. And as her daughter, I may take that path myself. To hold heart constantly and devote fiber and being to ensuring happiness in love.

[ She nods. ]

Of course! It will look so lovely with your hair's lovely brown hue, and perhaps some jewels with bright shades of lip paints. [ She can already picture it. Kaylee is going to look gorgeous. ] The tailors in the city are talented, and if needed, we may purchase red cloth from Edmund.

Wine ya say?

[There's a definite spark in her eye there]

I think I could handle a bitta help.

Re: [video]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Thanks. We've had a pretty crazy year and a bit, but meetin' him's been one of the high points.

[video]

[hypospraying]

How long have you two known each other?

[iwanttosettheworldonfire]

Well, I'm not so good with parties and junk, so I can't really throw in anything pretty... Might be able to make sure there's something tasty on the table for the gala, at least? Meat of a mammalian, plant-eating origin, if I'm really gonna be fancy.

[She forgot to actually say congratulations, but she means it.]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Sure sounds better than processed protein to me!

[This is a key feature in food for all occasions]

Re: [video]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Year and a bit... gets hard to keep track of with the different calendars and all. Definitely counts as at least five non-turnin' everythin' upside down years though.

[iwanttosettheworldonfire]

I think we call that canned Cram where I come from. And certainly not. No bugs, either, since people are weird about that. I'll work in a deerish direction, I guess.

[Audio]

[nodavinci]

It's unconventional. Then again, we're temporarily stranded on an alien planet populated mostly by species yanked directly from the Cretaceous period, so convention's pretty much a moot point.

[video]

[hypospraying]

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand. How can it be a year and also five years?

[Video]

[pepperspray]

I have excellent taste in bribes, what can I say? But come over any evening you're free -- I've been spending afternoons in the Vault, but an excuse to stop trying to decipher other people's handwriting is always welcome.

You'll have to tell me all about wedding traditions for you, so we can work out a good blend with what's local.

[did_i_say_percy]

Best wishes. Will the ceremony be soon?

[voice]

[wisdom_of_hounds]

Understandable, it's always interesting to see how people blend varied traditions too. But if there's no religious component then you could have just about anyone officiate the ceremony, couldn't you?
