Alright, crisis is over, yeah?

Real quick, to all newcomers, then, my name is Rory Williams. Welcome to Vertiline, I hope you're settling in. I'd love to assist anyone who needs any sort of... assistance. Just ring me up. I'm rarely very busy.

My fiancee is here as well, and her name is Amy Pond. But, uhm, don't ring her up just because I said you

Wedding as in a human wedding? From Earth?

[text]

[trusttheplastic]

Yes. I probably should have specified. My fiancee and I are from Earth. But we're open to marriage customs native to other places. No use in trying to have a solely Earth wedding in a place that's not Earth.

[soldierbee]

Oh no, that's fine! I'm only familiar with a few specific joining customs throughout the galaxy, but Earth weddings happen to be one of them.

I've never seen one or been to one though. Just read about it. Would that be enough?

[text]

[trusttheplastic]

Of course! Anything is enough if you're willing to help out.

Great! I'm Bumblebee, by the way. A pleasure to meet you.

[trusttheplastic]

Pleasure, Bumblebee. [Rory would think that's an odd name, but he's heard weirder since being here. There was a Viking named Hiccup here once.] Like I said, Rory's my name. Been here long?

[text]

[soldierbee]

Oh no, just a few days.

But I have to say, I'm very impressed. Two thousand years engaged? I didn't know organics could even live that long! You two must be very devoted to each other.

[It's so heartwarming, that kind of commitment. Ahhh, young love.]

[trusttheplastic]

Oh, well, it's complicated. [Oh, how to explain this... Were Rory not texting, there would be a lot of "uhm"s and "ah"s in here.] See, she was sort of locked in a box that kept her frozen in time for all those years. And I'm not necessarily human. I mean, I'm human by most standards, just my body isn't human. So I was able to stick around and protect her.

[...Rory rereads that real quick. He hopes it makes sense, because it's really the easiest way he can think of to explain.]

[text]

[soldierbee]

I see. [He is SO curious. He wants all the details on this but lol, rude. Not gonna ask for that after just meeting the guy.]

She must mean quite a lot to you. I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

[trusttheplastic]

[Someday, Bumblebee, Rory will be happy to tell you all his heroic feats and adventures as the Lone Centurion.]

She is a very, very important girl. Thank you.

Well, what do you excel at? In terms of weddings. What do you think you'd be good at doing? You think? [Rory isn't even sure what they need at this point... He's so at a loss. He didn't even plan most of the wedding he was going to have in Leadworth.]

[text]

[soldierbee]

I'm not too sure!

[But he is going to be damn cheerful of that fact.]

I've downloaded and processed all related information concerning weddings; invitation templates, customary dinners, dances, playlists, etc. All the necessary etiquette, as well as gift ideas, how to greet the bride, suggested themes and the like.

[text]

[trusttheplastic]

[Oh. Wow.]

Well. It sounds like you've got a lot of information there! I hadn't even thought about half of that. Dancing and playlists and such. [Oh, god, there's so much to do...]

[text]

[soldierbee]

From what I understand, not all of these things are considered in every wedding. Some are more casual than others, and only include the bare minimum concerning presentation and event progression.

[text]

[trusttheplastic]

Yeah. Amy and I haven't exactly hashed out what we really want in terms of a ceremony. We just want to get married. But I figure there's so many people here and hardly ever something to celebrate. An event may be relaxing for some folks.

[soldierbee]

Oh, that's pretty nice of you, to offer up your wedding day to strangers. I thought usually people only invited their friends and family to these things.
