All the myths and old wives' tales that he'd ever heard said that rain on your wedding day was supposed to be good luck. But that just struck him as ridiculous. If her dress got wet, he'd be annoyed. He occasionally glanced upward at the clouds, as if daring them to try something. Just try it. Smeggers ( ... )

For Raven, everything fell away as well, the path before her and the man at the end of it all she could see. If she were being honest with herself, she'd acknowledge that she could feel everybody's emotions, too. But she preferred one brief moment where she swore she could not notice them in the least.

Only it was much more heart-thumping, much more soulful. For all the kisses they'd shared in the meantime, from that first kiss until now...well. There was a line in one of Lister's favourite movies: "In the history of kissing, there have been ten kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Rimmer."
