Getting Your Doves In A Row
"Okay... we've agreed on a style menu, on a cake, venue comes later, color scheme is done, waiting on final word from your mom and dad before we hard-set the date... Maid of Honor and Best Lady are set." Riley bites his bottom lip, frowning at the checklist.

"All that's left is... y'know, who's gonna actually be the one marrying us."

Neither of their families were especially religious, so this particular had been danced around more than once already, in favor of easier decisions.

Dinah nodded. Hard to believe it sometimes. Hard to believe not all that long ago both of them had been dancing hard around how they felt about each other. Plus a few romantic moments she was pretty certain Skeets had interrupted on purpose.

"Also, just for the record, I totally trust you, but I don't trust him, so if Joey Mason offers to throw you a bachelor party, you might want to decline."

	Riley rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested in that... just gonna round up a bunch of the guys and go to Vegas for a weekend. Buffets, some gambling, maybe Siegfried and Roy..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Somewhere in the distance, a seminarian is reciting. "We are all things, all persons, full and famished, good and bewildered, sly and honest, frightened and less frightened..." Yes, Ruth's wandering around with a Unitarian religious text, trying to get centered. This should surprise no one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Riley stops, just as he was about to say something.

Without breaking eye contact with Dinah, he points a finger in Ruth's direction, eyebrows raising in questioning.

"Hey, Ruth?" He calls out, still facing Dinah. "What's Unitarian policy on officiating non-denominational ceremonies for heathens who only worship timestream integrity and programming code as their faiths of choice?"

	And Ruth will scurry right over, smiling brightly. "We Heart Heresy. Last week my dad married an Episcopalian to a Pastafarian. I'd be honored, if that's what the two of you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"To be fair, I sometimes cheat on the programming code with terrible jokes and puns," Dinah said. "But yes, we'd love for you to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh thankyouthankyou..." Riley gets up to give Ruth a quick hug, before sitting back down and showing her what they have planned so far. "Wait... are officiants still allowed to be in the bouquet toss? Don't want to box you out of that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay. So, we're working on our own vows, but if there's anything you want to slip in from your 'admittedly fabulous religion'--" Riley smiles at her. "--we could definitely do with... would you call it a prologue? Intro? Well, whatever part outside of the 'I do's' you want to work around, I'm sure it'd be cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah nodded. "We're not opposed to some interjection of religion, we're just neither of us especially religious ourselves." (Reply to this)(Parent)
