Yesterday, or last week, depending entirely on where you're from and your sense of time, there was a
wedding on the planet of Antar, between King Max Zan Evans and now-Queen Faith Lehane.
Thanks to various local methods of entrance and also Michael the Milliways chauffer, many many people
showed up. They mingled, too.
Then, there was an
Actual Official Genuine Wedding. Thanks to Random Lyrae Dent and Havelock Vetinari, it was a lot more amusing than anybody expected. (Thanks to Liam Pace, the boquet-throwing got pretty interesting too.)
After Max and Faith left, there was
more mingling! Complete with several reunions from sticky political situations earlier this your-choice-of-timeframe. People are, in fact, still mingling in slowtime. (Actually, people might be showing up in slowtime, too.)
Nobody specifically asked for gifts, but some
were left anyway.
Gifts might also still be being left in slowtime, as a matter of fact.
