OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I'm going to need a WAY bigger closet.

( You are cordially invited... )

Yeah, so, Dani and I kinda got married yesterday. Surprise?

Anyway, we're gonna have a reception at the Teardrop for everyone who wants to come or whatever. We'll probably just do it Thursday and combine it with karaoke. Let's face it, Berry will be trying to sing anyway, so why not just make it easier (and less annoying) on everyone?

I'm facing a rather peculiar dilemma. In considering dates for the reception, I find myself fearing the wrath of the wormhole. What if the date we choose happens to fall upon a day when the wormhole has decided to act up on us? I would hate to plan an event, make reservations and the like, only for people to be unable to attend. It's so difficult to predict when the wormhole will start to act up, otherwise I would plan around it. I was considering early October on the beach. Should be nice weather then at least. Unless the wormhole decides to strike, in which case, it would all be for naught.

I don't know what to do.

I would be much more upset about this naked/no clothing thing if that age thing had not happened first.

Well... this is quite unexpected, really. Changing your age is one thing, but stealing your clothes as well? Does anyone realize how difficult it is to carry around a quiver with no clothes on? It has been an off month, hasn't it?

So... I hope you won't be too upset with me, but...

I'm married!!!

Caspian and I decided that it would be easier to get married while we looked older, so that we wouldn't be questioned at all. And it actually worked like a charm. That being said, I still fully intend to have a reception, which if Sookie and Serena could be ever so kind as to continue helping me plan, I would be most grateful.

I will send out proper invitations soon, and I expect to see you all at the reception. Hopefully fully clothed...

I have no idea what a cellphone is or what a tablet is. I defenitley don't know a thing about Portland. However, I have better things to do then be here. My siblings need me right now.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Guys, I think I've found a way for y'all to get married.

I met a girl who knows a vampire who can help with the whole being underage thing and I've made kind of a deal with her to help you. So, all y'all need do is name a date and we can get this show going!

Where the hell is Oliver?

Private to Sookie and Serena:

Afternoons are good for me to go shopping. What's the best times for you? And... I hope you don't mind. I'll likely be smelling like a dog while trying on knickers and underthings. I work at an animal shelter, and I can't manage to get the smell out of my hair no matter how many times I wash it.

Also... Caspian and I may have a problem with the marriage. We're too young to marry in this state without legal guardians, of which we have none. I'm not exactly sure how to get around that.

Private to Caspian:

Shall we consider who we want to invite?

Also.... hi. :)

Private to Caspian:

I was researching marriage licenses in Portland and... I think we won't be allowed to get married here, because we're too young. What's most frustrating is that I wasn't always this young...

Anyway, it says that we need the written consent of our parents or guardians, and in the absence of such, we would need to have been living here for six months and provide an Affidavit stating these facts from a third party. I've only been here since March, and I don't even know if Holly registered us as residents of Portland. This is a bit maddening, and I'm about to march over to her and pose all these questions to her. I don't know what else to do!

And... since the shelter seems to be quiet lately, I've had time to jot down several questions that are pertinent to our... union sounds so posh. Nuptials? Eh... I know it's all sort of nitty gritty, but I think we definitely need to have this discussion sooner rather than later.

1. Do you have a last name? Is that a silly question? Would you mind if I kept mine? I'm not really sure if I actually want to, but I'm thinking about it.

2. After we obtain the license, we have 60 days to have the ceremony, in which, I think should be done at the Clerk's Office. I'm... not really religious enough to want a church wedding, nor do I really believe I should have one, though I still fully intend on wearing white. A church wedding is also far more expensive. At the ceremony, however, we need at least two people 18 or over to witness it. Who? I've always wanted my sister to be my Maid of Honor, but... she isn't here (nor is she over 18 but that seems irrelevant at this point). And I don't really have many friends, so...

3. In lieu of a reception, I would prefer to have a small get together with... anyone we might consider as friends here. We're on a bit of a tight budget as it is, but I believe a small party won't set us back too much. So, where should we hold the party? Who should we invite? I hear there are things called "DJs" that play music at parties. We should probably get one.

4. Bank accounts. Should we get a joint one? Should we add each others names to ours?

5. Honeymoon? It's not like we could go anywhere for more than 24 hours.

6. And finally... Where will we live?


This isn't too much, is it? I'm sort of bored and couldn't help but think of all this. Do you have any questions you might like to add? I have some other questions in mind, but those are more... of a personal nature.

Private to Girls Only

Supposing a girl is about to get married, and she honestly hasn't a clue as to what she's going to wear on her wedding night nor what she intends on doing for her new husband on said night, being of little to no experience in that department... what advice would you give her?

Okay, I got the whole "wormhole" speech, but... is the date on this- admittedly pretty cool- PDA correct? Is it actually 2014? I'm thinking sario rip, but it would be the first time I actually got a holographic welcome after one.

So. Anyone who's been here for more than a few weeks should be aware that sometimes, the people-- or beings-- that come through the wormhole aren't always friendly. Some of them are very hostile, and we seem to be in agreement that we deal with those by defending ourselves. There's also a mostly unspoken agreement that anyone who doesn't pose a direct threat to anyone's health gets a second chance or a clean slate, even from a horrific past, a chance to have a different life in a new world.

I'm not going to argue with that, and from the things I'm about to write, it's going to be obvious why I won't. It'd be hypocritical. But there is someone that's arrived through the wormhole that's made me conflicted over whether that clean slate is a good idea. I'm not going to break the agreement, but I do want to warn you. I wasn't sure if I should do this, but since two of my friends, coming at this from two different angles, have encouraged me to do it, it's what I'm going to do.

That's all. Well, it's not all, but it's enough. [...] If you've made it this far, thank you for hearing me out. And if you've skimmed to the end, my point was: never trust a demon. As Ruby herself put it, lying and manipulation are in the demon job description.

I'm coming home now.

Getting comfy yet?

I hope it isn't too soon to ask for such requests. I understand that everyone is still recovering from the attacks, and I do hope that everyone is well but...

Could anyone here please tell me anything they know about planning a wedding?

I'm engaged. And I've never been... obviously I'm not sure exactly what is required in this day and age and... in this country. I don't want it to be overly fancy. None of my family members are here, so it will certainly be rather emotional. I would just like for it to be very simple if possible. Any ideas would be helpful.

Thank you.

Will this never be over? As much as I hate to say this, I much preferred being a boy to this. At least I got to sleep at night

Private to Caspian:

Have you been getting any sleep lately? Even when I try to sleep, I keep seeing all these monstrous things in my dreams.

Private to Sookie Stackhouse

Are you alright? I'm sorry I haven't been able to contact you sooner, but it's been a bit mad around here. I just wanted to know if you were okay and if you needed me to come get you and take you somewhere safe.

Such foul beasts roam the streets! I offer up my sword to any who may require it. Tis not bravery that lives in the hearts of men but the desire to do right by others, that which drives men to live better lives.

I propose we unite in council at a time and place convenient for all to strategize against our rogue enemies. At this time, all information whenceforth shall be presented at the table of our union, and a treaty shall be formed among us. For there may be other worlds aside from that which exist in our semblance, but the world of which we know of presently is here and now.

How quickly can my lords converge upon a place for a meeting? Speak amongst thyselves and appoint dignitaries, which shall attend this meeting and report back to their respective groups. This shall be our prevailing moment. Choose thy next course of action wisely.

Private to Caspian:

WHERE ARE YOU?

This city is rough in a way I do not understand and everyone in it moves far too fast. I find I already do not like it. To have the calming presence of my home once more is all I dare hope for on this long night. I beseech you, denizens of this Land of Port, how may I return to it?
