    Summary

    The obstinate Marianne Dashwood realizes second attachments are quite possible indeed, and may come even stronger than the first, born of foolish notions of youth. It may be, however, that she has seen the light too late, for a newcomer in town may have stolen the heart which she now wishes belonged to her. Ironically, the loss of that which she did not know she wished to have is what brought realization unto her.

    Summary

    As she gets closer, Tim is immediately drawn to her wide brown eyes; they are broadcasting her emotional state for everyone to see — some combination of eager and excited and nervous. The polar opposite of the cool and guarded expression he is careful to keep on his own face.

    Angela turns to look at him, clearly trying to gauge his reaction before she whacks him with her bouquet and hisses, “That is your soon-to-be wife, Tim, not your new boot, so maybe chill out with the death glare. You shouldn’t be trying to intimidate her.”

    Tim ignores her; he begs to differ. This woman is supposed to be his wife. Chosen by supposed experts to be his life partner, his perfect other half. He is sure as hell going to be assessing whether she measures up to his standards. The fact that he already knows all of this is bullshit honestly just makes him that much more inclined to prove it.

    When she reaches the end of the aisle, she stops in front of him and tilts her head to smile up at him in this sweet, hopeful way that he simultaneously finds incredibly endearing and incredibly irritating — like he holds her fate in his hands, and she is counting on him not to f*ck it up.

    Summary

    “Oh my god,” she whispers. “I for--”

    “Please don't say you fucked up again.” His voice is the most steady she's heard it so far this morning, like of what little he's said, this matters most to him. Her head pounds, and her heart swells again.

    She shakes her head. “No,” she says quietly. “I was gonna say, I forget. I remember walking down the sidewalk, and you-- ” she trails off, but his nod tells her he remembers that much, too.

    OR -- Tim and Lucy go to Las Vegas for Angela and Wesley's second attempt at a wedding, and things don't go right at all... or do they?
