[twenty nine] Goin' to the chapel...

[goodgrasshopper]

[The video switches on to show the handsome piano boy and one of those pretty saloon girls giggling and snuggling, and generally looking a lot more familiar with each other than two unmarried young people who haven't even been seen courting should.  They both give the camera huge smiles.]

Hey everyone--we left town for a night, but we're back now, and...  [Molly ducks her head a little and blushes slightly.]

[Conner takes over for her, still grinning like a fool.]  Everyone, meet my wife!  Mrs. Molly Kent!

When did the two of you start courting?

Well, congratulations to the both of you.

[goodgrasshopper]

Well... a while. Just... quiet-like, you know? Not everyone necessarily approves... Like his aunt.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

You were discrete. [He's been gone for two years, so he didn't even know they were friends.

But secret relationships are relevant to his interests.] How long has it been?

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

We tried to be. It's been almost a year of secret meetings and hidden notes and tokens... [smiling happily.] It's nice to finally be out in the open.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

How do you believe his aunt will react?

[He's a little envious. He can't even reveal his feelings in the slightest, very well pursue them in secret. And he's pretty sure they would never be reciprocated. But... it's nice to think about.]

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

[She gives him a tiny smile.] I hope she doesn't hate me. I know I'm not who she planned for him, but I love him, and he loves me, and I'm going to make him happy.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

I hope you do. Well, this is welcome news to return home to. [He returns that smile.]

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

[She beams.] Well, thank you! We sure thought it was good news.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

That's a bit sudden, don't you think, Mrs. Kent? Congratulations are in order none the less, I suppose. It's nice to get a bit of good news around here for a change.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Actually, we've been courting for a year. We've just been kind of secretive about it.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Well congratulations to the both of you. What'd you keep it a secret for anyhow?

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

We weren't sure everyone would get it. [Like Conner's very strict aunt. A saloon girl is hardly a respectable mate. But Conner's in love, and now he's made Molly an honest woman, and his aunt can just live with it.]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

What's not to get? Two young people in love, ain't nothing in the world like it. I wish you both all the happiness in the world.

[goodgrasshopper]

Why, thank you. We'll sure try.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Oh, Molly. [And there are giggles. Lots of them.]

[goodgrasshopper]

[She's still grinning.] We're really happy.

[feels-no-love.livejournal.com]

...

...

...congraulations.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Thanks! [Conner grins.]

[peektuttut]

You're kiddin'.

[goodgrasshopper]

Um... no?

[peektuttut]

[Well that gets a surprised, but pretty pleased laugh.] Y'all coulda told me!

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, we wanted... kind of a quiet ceremony. So no one could say "I object" when the preacher got to that part. But we're gonna have a party, and you'll surely be invited to that!

[peektuttut]

Well I certainly hope so, Miss - Mrs. Kent.

[goodgrasshopper]

[Have a delighted grin at that name.] Count on it, Mr. Grayson.

/late at everything, sob

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'm a married man.

[peektuttut]

Well like I said, y'all shoulda brought me along.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Sorry. We were kinda in a hurry or we would have.
