Who: Lois and Clark
When: Midday, 12/13/12
Where: The Tower then City Hall
What: THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED
Rating: Low

Lois had been standing in front of the mirror for nearly half an hour, trying on her wedding dress, then a simpler dress, then her wedding dress again, or a pant suit. A wedding dress for a courthouse wedding just seemed like such overkill. But she didn't mind overkill. Why not make it a big splash? It would be a riot for these people who thought they were fictional. Lois Lane and Clark Kent gettin' hitched at the courthouse because their wedding on that TV show got interrupted. Hilarious.

She was in one of her new work outfits, a charcoal pencil skirt with a white blouse. She'd done her hair up in a similar fashion to her wedding hair, but a less labor intensive. Her teardrop earrings were back in her ears, and her eyes were properly accented with a daytime smoky eye. She felt fit for a courthouse wedding. Just the shoes left.

Wearing one red shoe and one silver shoe she went looking for her groom. "Smallville, which shoe?" She modeled one side, then the other, accenting each shoe.

Clark wasn't sure then what her hesitancy was about, but he didn't ask. She was right. That was behing them. They were moving forward. Well, as forward as they could seeing as how they weren't where they were supposed to be. Getting used to it together was probably a better idea than anything else he could come up with.

He fumbled around in his pocket for the license and his identification and everything. It was a good thing that New York didn't require a blood test. That would have been a little awkward, though he imagined SHIELD might have had some insight into how to get around that. "I'll go sign in," he said.

"Okay. I'll loiter back here at the back of this little clump of people that I assume is a line." She smiled at him and rubbed his arm a bit before moving to stand in line.

They were one of the fanicer couples in attendance. There was one couple near the front that looked like teenagers who had ditched school—she sincerely hoped they were older than they look. There was a very disgruntled couple behind them who looked more interested in their phones than each other. The ones directly in front of her looked in love, but wore very poor quality clothes. But if it was the best they had, that must've been enough for them.

She smiled when she saw Clark return and wrapped her arm around his waist, leaning into her favorite little crook in against his shoulder.

"They said it would probably only be about a fifteen minute wait. I guess they get things done in and out pretty quickly here. Something about New Yorkers hating to wait in line." He smiled and stepped in alongside her, then kissed the side of her head. "And, if you're interested to know, I got a good laugh about our names. Then a sigh and some comment about the fact that we must have been fated to meet, with names like ours."

Lois weaved absently rubbed his arm and chuckled. "I love that they're so much more willing to believe that we have crazy fate and horribly mean parents than believe that we could actually be the Clark Kent and Lois Lane they think we're named after. But I guess ever since I met you I've sort of started believing whatever the hell is thrown at me." She squeezed his arm and smiled to herself. It was true. Knowing Clark had turned into a believer in so many things.

The guy at the desk had been right; they moved up the line quickly, and within just over ten minutes were at the front of the line, waiting for the final couple to be done. "Lois Lane? Lois Lane Kent? Lois Kent?"

	Oh he knew that decision was coming, and he shook his head. "That's going to have to be up to you. I know how much you love your byline, and I wouldn't ask you to change it for me," he teased. He glanced down at the paperwork in his hand. "You should make a decision quickly though, as we're next to go." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was true. She really, really loved her byline. And she knew he wouldn't ask her to be Mrs. Kent, because he understood her.

But which did she want? Did she want to stay the strong, independent reporter, the one who didn't bend for anyone? Or could she fully admit she was a member of a team? She grinned up at him. "Just because my legal name is Lois Kent doesn't mean I can't keep Lois Lane as a byline—and I will."

	Clark squeezed her hand. "Are you sure?" he asked a moment later, because he didn't want her doing anything that she had any sort of hesitation about, and that certainly included her changing her name. (Reply to this) (Parent)
