it's a nice day to start again

Flist o flist!

I have a question for you! Which may or may not be born from my vague Balkanic annoyance with the Willian/Kate craze (not the actual people, but the craze, it has infected my television in a way that keeps baffling).

What makes a good fictional wedding?
I can think of some weddings I've read/watched, but generally they ended with

Yes, it does have to do with Dany. And they were doing so well too, up until the actual wedding scene. And and and, it's very frustrating, because I can very literally think of NO GOOD REASON for them to change her story like that. Except the one in my icon, I suppose.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the series! Are you happy with the castings? With the dialogue? I am, for the most part, including the bits that deviate from the books - except that one thing, ahh.

Parks and Rec! I keep thinking I need to watch that. I am so behind on all possible watchage. It's a bit like West Wing, right, that show? My brain's informing me I ought to watch West Wing first. But my brain's always been way overambitious, I'm afraid.

YES! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN! You're right, the sparring/wedding scene's hot. I never really shipped 'em, but I love the idea of wedding-during-combat. In fact, all weddings I can imagine for ships I love (Buffy/Spike and Rose/Ten and even Ron/Hermione, god help me) keep morphing into "and then they had to leave mid-ceremony to save the world again, alas".

Oh I'd forgotten about Will and Elizabeth. But yes, that was epic, especially some of Barbossa's dialouge. "Dearly beloved, we be gathered here today... to nail yer gizzard to the mast ye poxy cur!"

Buffy's wedding especially would turn into an attempt to avert the apocalypse. I mean messing up her various specially days is practically a hobby for teh supernatural world. Though I can imagine that knowing this her preparations would be a sight to see.

'Right people hows everything going?'

'I've got Slayers posted at every conceivable weak point B. Vampires would be unlikely so we've dug deep for the demon repelling weapons.'

'Is that a rocket launcher?'

'Just in case.'

'Good, Dawnie hows the research going?'

'Well we quadruple checked the church. No rites or mystic stuff, nada on the prophecy front. The day is the Day of Damnation for the Kuanga demon but most of the zealots live in Mozambique and the American ones have been quite lazy about following traditions in recent years. Apart from that everything is clear and I've given Wills some counter spells that should work if they do try anything.'

'Right, now I just need to go see if Xander and Andrew have managed to incorporate Kelvar into the dress.'

Oh, I've no doubt she would prepare well. Oh she'd make a fake hypersecure wedding, then elope three weeks earlier with Dawnie and Clem as witnessess. Then they'd have the fake wedding, with the Wind Beneath My Wings and Spike's various poker acquaintances and they'd have great fun until, you know, Drusilla arrived with a swirling portal to hell or something.

I reckon they'd have to be quite cautious about the gift table as well. I'd expect a pretty large proportion of it to be cursed.

Also, have you read http://seasonal-spuffy.livejournal.com/449499.html#cutid1 ? It seems relevant to your imagination.

That was fun. Though slightly confusing in the middle. Still, got the love a flamethrower.
