Unwavering Bond (open)

[blue_ice]

Who: Seto, Yugi, and their family and friends
Where: Sports Gym
When: Nebula 19
What: Two dweebs with cards get hitched.
Warnings: Dangerous levels of sap. Proceed cautiously.

[ On the evening of Nebula 18, Seto pops onto the ICP screens. The only thing different about his appearance is that his hair is slicked back (someone's experimenting), and he clears his throat. ]

...Good evening. We hinted at it during our game the other day, and we've told a few of our closest friends, but it's official. Yugi and I are getting married tomorrow night. We realize it's last minute, but a few recent circumstances forced our hands and we didn't find it prudent to wait anymore.

As it's last minute, we don't expect a lot of company, but anyone's welcome to witness it. Don't worry, it's going to be a very quick ceremony by wedding standards. We'll also have light snacks afterward.

[ After...not that much planning, to be honest, the day is here. The gym is clean, with about 30 chairs lined up in front of a clear space. A small smattering of blue and purple balloons decorates the hall, and overall it's just set up to be a quiet commitment ceremony.

Let's see if it stays that way. ]

Speaking from experience, some things do, some don't. And that's fine; it'll keep perfectly well until you're ready for it.

Something's change? Which parts do change if I may ask?

[He was genuinely curious after all.]

Re: Afterparty

Partly that depends on the couple, but how certain people relate to you tends to change somewhat. 'I' becomes 'we', which affects more things than you think. And there are certain expectations that come with it too; having a spouse is more exclusive than just a boyfriend or girlfriend, and it'll be expected that you'll devote a greater portion of your time and attention to them as a result.

Plus, of course, if you plan to make this official when you return to your own world, you'll have to wrangle with the various traditions and legal requirements there as well.

[Yugi stood there to listen, clearly interested in what she had to say. After all it was soemthing he felt like he needed to hear out of curiosity and the fact that it will give him an understanding of marriage better.]

I never thought of it in that way. But it makes sense. As for making it official back home we both come from different versions of our own world so unless we find a way to be able to find each other again it's not something we could exactly do.

Re: Afterparty

I see; I've had to deal with that as well, though with relatives rather than a spouse.

Regardless, I'm glad you've found each other here. And while I'm hardly a marriage expert, if you have any more questions in the future feel free to ask.

Re: Afterparty

I will make a note of that, but I hope that you can enjoy the rather rushed party.

[While there wasn't much he was honestly happy with all of this.]
