[twenty nine] Goin' to the chapel...

[goodgrasshopper]

[The video switches on to show the handsome piano boy and one of those pretty saloon girls giggling and snuggling, and generally looking a lot more familiar with each other than two unmarried young people who haven't even been seen courting should.  They both give the camera huge smiles.]Hey everyone--we left town for a night, but we're back now,

Comments

[majorum_pride]

When did the two of you start courting?

Well, congratulations to the both of you.

[goodgrasshopper]

Well... a while. Just... quiet-like, you know? Not everyone necessarily approves... Like his aunt.

[Private]

[majorum_pride]

You were discrete. [He's been gone for two years, so he didn't even know they were friends.

But secret relationships are relevant to his interests.] How long has it been?

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

We tried to be. It's been almost a year of secret meetings and hidden notes and tokens... [smiling happily.] It's nice to finally be out in the open.

[gingerspeedster]

That's a bit sudden, don't you think, Mrs. Kent? Congratulations are in order none the less, I suppose. It's nice to get a bit of good news around here for a change.

[ihavettk]

Actually, we've been courting for a year. We've just been kind of secretive about it.

[gingerspeedster]

Well congratulations to the both of you. What'd you keep it a secret for anyhow?

[ihavettk]

We weren't sure everyone would get it. [Like Conner's very strict aunt. A saloon girl is hardly a respectable mate. But Conner's in love, and now he's made Molly an honest woman, and his aunt can just live with it.]

[greatlightother]

Oh, Molly. [And there are giggles. Lots of them.]

[goodgrasshopper]

[She's still grinning.] We're really happy.

[feels_no_love]

...

...

...congraulations.

[ihavettk]

Thanks! [Conner grins.]

[peektuttut]

You're kiddin'.

[goodgrasshopper]

Um... no?

[peektuttut]

[Well that gets a surprised, but pretty pleased laugh.] Y'all coulda told me!

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, we wanted... kind of a quiet ceremony. So no one could say "I object" when the preacher got to that part. But we're gonna have a party, and you'll surely be invited to that!
