She sees Ralph enter the room with her laptop and several bags of Spanish peanuts, which is something she's been craving like a mad fiend lately. she watches him move and mingle across a room of people greeting him. She can hear his laugh...see his smile...watch as his red hair falls in his face while her fingers itch to move it out of habit. ( Read more... )

Travis does indeed know the plan, and has his ring all set up to push the necessary buttons, hit the music and so on.

Ralph, meanwhile, is oblivious. Either that, or more likely, he's pretending to be. This is the guy with cracker-jack box x-ray vision, birthday precognition, and all the rest.
Still, after dropping the supplies off, he heads directly for his beloved.

There is no fooling Ralph, but the effort yields its own rewards. Also, today could actually be the day for miracles.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," She starts. "Attention please." she waits for the murmur of conversation to die off and all eyes to go to her. She gives Ralph a smile.

"As most of you old timers here know, this man crashed my party with the fastest man alive and stole a bride while everyone was distracted."

"I'm still amazing the League hasn't brought him up on charges for brainwashing!" Booster quips.

...then realizes once again his terrible sense of timing.

"Someone thwap him and get it over with," she says mockingly.

She quiets the crowd agian.

"Okay, that was great." she leans into Ralph's shoulder. "But, I know a lot of you have good things going too. Your old friend-slash-Aunt Sue is extending a bit of an invite to everyone - not just to come, but to participate."

$10 this is where Guy is a wiseass...

"Hoo boy. That's gonna get complicated. "

On cue.

"Nope. Only if you serve the drinks there Guy." Back to the crowd, deliberately not making eye contact with some of them. "Some of you...and you know who you are better than I ever will, are finding some truly brilliant excuses to talk yourselves out of getting married. Allow Ralph and I to remove some of those excuses. After Alanna is in the world - that's around the start of December if the doctors are right - I have the wedding booked. Justice of the Peace, food, tuxedos, whatever..."

She sucks in a breath. This is going to be interesting. "No pressure here, but if anyone wants to get married or renew their vows when Ralph and I do, I'd be honored if you'd join us."

Thanks to Donna she can see everything. She doesn't really get it and she doesn't know what's up until the lady asks the older guy with her to get married and everyone starts cheering. She looks to her own family and starts wondering a bit about them.

Then the lady said she was getting married - and that other people could get married at the same time she and the stretchy guy did. She asked if anyone wanted to tell her so now. Of course they did! Duh!

"THEM TWO!" She points to Daddy and Donna.

She thinks a second and points to Uncle Ollie and Aunt Dinah. "And those two, too!"

You can hear a pin drop...
