LDSAiden (9:47:02 PM): Marriage is a serious endeavor.
LDSAiden (9:48:04 PM): It takes endless compromise, constant negotiation, all of the patience Elsyn's owl can grant you and more.
LDSAiden (9:48:32 PM): (er... Elysn's)
LDSAiden (9:49:44 PM): Love alone is not enough to guarantee a happy marriage. If either of you has any doubt of your readiness for this challenge, now is the time to speak.
LDSAiden (9:50:04 PM): :: He looks searchingly into the eyes of each of them ::
LDSAiden (9:50:57 PM): Marriage is also one of the most exciting, fulfilling and enjoyable endavors that any being can attempt.
LDSAiden (9:52:03 PM): You will never face pain alone; you will always have your joy doubled. When the hill is steep, there will always be a supporting hand at your back.
LDSAiden (9:52:51 PM): In the unity of marriage, two souls transcend their individuality and become greater than their parts.
LDSAiden (9:53:13 PM): Are you ready to take this step?

LDS Jake Elwood (9:58:10 PM): "I do"
LDS Jake Elwood (9:58:36 PM): "so swear"
LDSAiden (9:59:46 PM): "Father, grant your blessing to these two. When they stumble, catch them. When they dance, make the tune be sweet. Love is your greatest gift -- strengthen theirs that it may last as long as they may."
LDSAiden (10:00:55 PM): "And now, since the bride requested the short ceremony, by the power vested in me by the Father, I decree that you are husband and wife, and let none stand between you."

LDS Gynessa (11:10:09 PM): "Ah. Well, if you say so ..."
LDS Elysn (11:10:41 PM): "I just don't think I'm pessimistic enough for you Gears"
LDS Brolak (11:10:43 PM): "Tell me about it. No ritual scaring, no moving food, no pre-nuptial hunt. Makes no sense."

LDS Elysn (11:10:57 PM): "No disrespect meant"
UCC Andrew (11:11:04 PM): "Pessimistic?"
LDS Wocket (11:11:06 PM): ((Wocket will stay of course))
LDS Gynessa (11:11:09 PM): (sleep, huh ... on your wedding night?)
UCC Andrew (11:11:21 PM): "I'm not a pessimist. I'm a pragmatist."

LDS Gil Haeron (11:18:14 PM): ::helps in handing out plates with cake slices::
LDS Blade (11:18:14 PM): ::applauds, with a smile::
UCC Andrew (11:18:36 PM): "Mmmm...cake...."

LDS Gil Haeron (11:21:31 PM): "I think Monty got the little plastic bride by mistake..."
Monty McG LDS (11:22:00 PM): (beats me.)
LDS Blade (11:22:02 PM): ((LOL, Gil!))
Monty McG LDS (11:22:39 PM): (somebody left a nut in it? :-D)
LDS Gil Haeron (11:22:45 PM): ::as everyone eats:: "Jake...Wocket...I don't want to steal your night...but I wanted to tell you, and the rest of my friends, that I'm leaving Port Anka soon."
LDS Gynessa (11:23:00 PM): "What?"
LDS Elysn (11:23:08 PM): "Where are you going?"

Monty McG LDS (11:23:16 PM): =-O
LDS Gil Haeron (11:23:20 PM): "The war's over...and I've decided, for the second time in my life, that the military's not for me."
LDS Blade (11:23:22 PM): ::Blade looks surprised::
UCC Andrew (11:23:29 PM): ::punches a button to summon a cleaning bot::
LDS Gynessa (11:23:32 PM): "Yeah, well, me neither, but ..."

LDS Gil Haeron (11:23:43 PM): "I'm going back to the college of wizardry where I trained. To teach."
LDSAiden (11:24:06 PM): "A worthy calling, Gil."
LDS Gynessa (11:24:12 PM): "There's life outside the military, y'know. But ... oh. The safe path. Well, I guess there's something to be said for that."
LDS Jake Elwood (11:24:20 PM): "Wow, Gil. That's great!"
LDS Gynessa (11:24:42 PM): "Still ... Mr. Bear won't be happy ..."
LDS Gil Haeron (11:24:43 PM): "I've enjoyed these past few years...well, most of it, anyway...though the nearly getting killed wasn't so fun."
Monty McG LDS (11:24:44 PM): "good luck to ye Gil"
LDS Elysn (11:25:00 PM): "It won't be the same without you Gil"::Elysn says something to Mr Bear, and he looks sad::
UCC Andrew (11:25:04 PM): "Yeah. If it weren't for the war, I wouldn't be military now. I'm a GreaseGnome born and bred."
LDS Wocket (11:25:06 PM): 'very good gil good luck'
LDS Gil Haeron (11:25:20 PM): "But, I've made true friends here. And, who knows, I may be back, if things heat back up. Brak said something about a reserve clause in my RBL contract, damn him."
LDS Gil Haeron (11:25:33 PM): "Thank you, all."
UCC Andrew (11:25:42 PM): "Well, yer always welcome to come back, even for visits Gil."

LDS Jake Elwood (11:25:47 PM): "We'll come and find you...
LDS Gynessa (11:25:58 PM): "Well, this place can always use a hand, and you don't need to be military for that."

LDS Jake Elwood (11:26:24 PM): :hugs his friend:
LDS Gil Haeron (11:26:24 PM): ::runs a hand along the lapel of his decidedly non-uniform suit:: "This should have been your first clue, by the way.:"
UCC Andrew (11:26:37 PM): "Groz, I'm gonna open a Fixit shop. Not enough military action these days to keep me in creds."
LDS Gil Haeron (11:26:45 PM): ::to Jake:: "Oh, yeah! Speaking of that..." ::waves a hand, and a small box floats out of his jacket pocket, into his hand::
LDS Gil Haeron (11:26:57 PM): "This is for you and Wocket. You'll both get good use out of them."
LDS Blade (11:27:04 PM): ::smiles:: "I don't think the suit matters, Gil - look at the rest of us."
LDSAiden (11:27:06 PM): "Money isn't everything, Gears. I find that the clinic is just as busy without the war as it was with it."
