In defense of your parents, I'm utterly impatient and have decided that I need to be married now. This city is far too chaotic for me to even consider waiting. Particularly because Sarah and I are from different worlds. If I wasn't so damn scared of how Sarah would react to it, not to mention that most of my family (biological and adopted) would be clamoring for my head if we did, I might suggest eloping.
Second, I can cheat and stop time if I need to get things done. It is cheating, and I know it. I also don't sleep, so more time spent on getting things done.
So, yeah. I'm impatient, and not above cheating to get my way.
