pardon the long-ass spiel: she's been referred to as a voice of reason but it's more like she tells you all the ways the thing you're about to do is stupid then doesn't try to stop you because she wants to watch. she and ryan met in vegas and got hitched after six months of dating, then managed to last sixish years as they managed his family's bowling place and bought their own skating rink. they got separated in jan so ryan could figure out if he wanted kids and toni could do some soul searching. they were pretty amicable until toni learned that ryan had begun a serious relationship with his now-girlfriend by seeing them together at a party. after a very tense period, they're civil, since they still have a lot of friends in common. they won't be friends any time soon (possibly ever) but she has no problem being around him.
