*by this point, Horatio, Reina, and Anticleia have a house--a nice, one-and-a-half-story place with a bit of a yard and a trellis with roses just beginning to climb it. things have begun to settle; there are still awkward moments at times, still little jealousies and conflicts over space, but even those are only small and quickly resolved.

it's nearly evening. Horatio is sitting on the couch in their front room, fingering the hem of his sweater, waiting for Reina to come home*

*giggles, suddenly* ... Does anything rhyme with mauve?

... cove? Dove, like "she dove off of the diving board"? Stove?

Oh -- that's no good, then. It would probably be something like 'married in mauve, you'll be cooked in a stove.'

You've never heard those rhymes? 'Married in white, you have chosen all right; married in brown, you will live out of town.' Except I was thinking mostly white, with a bit of light mauve, that would look nice.

*laughs* You'll be beautiful no matter what you wear ... but I was imagining you in white, with flowers in your hair.

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to wear white. I want to wear flowers ... *smile* It's silly, but ... I don't want to just look 'nice' on my wedding day. I want my dress to be beautiful, the most beautiful thing I've ever worn, so it means that much more that I'm only wearing it once, and for you. But I'll probably end up buying the cheapest dress I can find and making my own veil. *sheepish*

*kisses her hair* We can think about that later, right? Maybe later, when I've got a proper job, we can be sure you get the most beautiful dress you've ever worn. *silly* And maybe even a veil.

Flowers are easy--we could get married next year, when our roses are blooming--

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
And I could wear them in my hair?

[identity profile] ay-my-lord.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Mmhmm. Just the little ones, the buds and the tiny roses ...

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
And still that sort of soft pink, just about to be red ...

[identity profile] ay-my-lord.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
*smile* I'll let you pick my clothes for me. You're always so good with things like that ... and I'm not very good at all.

*beams* And I'll have so much fun with it, too.

[identity profile] ay-my-lord.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
And you don't mind, that you won't ... have legal documents, I guess, with Anticleia?

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
*ah -- frowning, but only a bit* The legal documents don't matter as much as the ceremony, but -- I don't know. She's changed her mind about some things, but I don't know if Anticleia would ever want to be married.

[identity profile] ay-my-lord.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Would you ... would you want to marry her, if she wanted to?

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
If she wanted to. But -- *shakes her head* That's selfish, isn't it?

[identity profile] ay-my-lord.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Silly. Not if she wanted to.

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
*littlesmile* You wouldn't mind being married to a polygamist?

[identity profile] ay-my-lord.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
*pokes* You couldn't actually marry both of us. It's illegal. But if you wanted just a ceremony with both of us ... that would be okay.

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't want that, though -- it's silly, but I don't.

[identity profile] carpoftruth.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I said the ceremony matters more, but I really do want to be married properly. And I want it to be special. I want it to be a day to show you that I love you how I love nobody else, even if I do love Anticleia, too.
