"I am trying to figure out the damn tie," came Rodney's muffled response.

"Jeez, my ex-wife didn't take this long to get dressed," he said, leaning inside the doorway.  Rodney cut his eyes at his reflection in the mirror.

"Oh, how very amusing.  Just like you to mention

Awww, lovely story, I hoped that it was their wedding but realised (bummer) that it wasn't. (I guess they'll have to have a secret wedding!) Very nicely written. Thanks.

You know they're so "married" anyway, but maybe someday they'll be able to do it for real. I'm glad you liked the story and I appreciate your comments.

Great story. You got me on the wedding. I was suspicious at first, but you lulled me into thinking it was them. Still too bad that they can't get married.

I was suspicious at first, but you lulled me into thinking it was them.

Then my cunning plan worked! It's is too bad, but maybe someday. (Of course, in fandom, they can do anything) And, really, they are so "married" anyway!

Thanks for reading, so glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate your comments.

So sweet! Loved the way John helped Rodney with the tie :-)

[neevebrody]

Yeah, I think he was more interested in helping him off with it... *g* Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, that was nicely done. I was expecting it to be John and Rodney's wedding, but you pulled a switcheroo. I like how it turned out, though. They are already married. *g*

[neevebrody]

Thank you! I hope it wasn't too disappointing and anyway you're right - they're already so married!

[girly_curl_3]

Aww.

[neevebrody]

Thanks! See, I've been entirely too sweet with them of late. I'm definitely going to have to try for something "darker" next time.
