Yay, a wedding! I loved it - especially the way the Doctor's own concern that he would be bad luck for the reception turned out so true. X-D Good thing he can get the remains out of the carpet, lol... Great dialogue and characterizations in here, very enjoyable read.

That was just terribly cute!

Although... now I'm filled with the urge to write a Torchwood wedding ruined by UNIT fic :D

Thanks!

That would be awesome indeed! Go on, then! :lol:

Actually, I find that there is poetic justice in TW going around ruining weddings! Even when they're not being (or think they're being) screwed over by UNIT. I mean, it's Torchwood, it's not like they actually have anything better to do!

(surprisingly, fic happened.

Wow, first fic I write in what, ten months?!)

Heh, true.

And, really? Wow - glad I could be of some inspiration. :-) I hope we don't have to wait that long for the next one, though. I like your unusual take on things.

He turned his head to look at her. “Oh, well, that’s all right, then. You always know a wedding’s gone well when there’s been no fatalities.”

LOL Priceless!

Ten DID say he's rubbish at weddings! :D

Heh, thanks.

Much as I love them all, I don't think I'd want any of the Doctors anywhere near a wedding!

Oh, I don't know... Fivey might not be so bad, or possibly One, I can see him enjoying it without being too much of an alien magnet.

Poor UNIT... Although:
I always knew UNIT would go downhill once Alistair left.
That would explain a lot! ;)

BTW, if you want to post this story at Teaspoon, it's very acceptable. Even if you had only original characters who worked at UNIT, and no Doctor at all, it would be fine because of the UNIT connection.

Heh. Thanks.

And I guessed it probably would be, but I still feel like I'm peddling original fic in disguise. I might, in the end, to keep it with the series - especially when I've got some assurance it wouldn't be kicked out for being so OC-centric!

:-)

Awww...

Definitely post this on the 'Spoon - it's got Ten and Col. Crichton in it, after all, and they're not OCs...

This was lovely, in so many ways, from Pvt Robinson's concerns, to Ten's (quite correct!) suspiscion that he is too much of a trouble-magnet to be going to people's weddings, to Col. Crichton going equipped, to Nat/Tilly...awww...Nat/Tilly...

And I know I have a history of inappropriately shipping Sgt. Kennedy with people, but... Kennedy/Kate? Kennedy/Kate, eh? Awww... ;D

Thank you very much. It really is pretty much your fault, for calling it wedding fic - it was only ever one scene till then!

Glad you liked it, and you're even coming round to Nat/Tilly. ;-)

But, Kate and Kennedy? That would be corny and narratively over-neat and unrealistic, and I would never stoop to such things. What can you be thinking? :-p
