So after the absolute despair I wrote of in the last thread, I decided to do something quick(ish) and more lighthearted as a palate cleanser. Hope you enjoy.
>Sign here, here and here, initial there, and the date there and there.
>Who would have thought getting married would involve so much paperwork?
>Yeah, I expected there to be some, since there’s some documents we needed to fill out to everything square in the eyes of the law.
>But Raptor Jesus there is so much more than I expected.
>Marriage liscense, setting up joint accounts and insurances, updating tax documentation to reflect our soon-to-be-newlywed status.
>And that doesn’t even factor in all the stuff we need to sign to actually hold the wedding itself! There’s the matter of the venue, clothing, hiring a photographer, catering, and all sorts of other crap.
>Thank God that my parents and the Aarons offered to help us out, and that Rosa and Moe very aggressively offered to help with the food situation.
>And… whatever the hell Reed is doing. I still can’t decide if that man is an idiot or a genius, even after he ended up as rich as he did.
>I do a once over of the paper in front of me. Finally managing to read the whole thing without my eyes glazing over.

>Bad move Lucy, Bad move.
>Cracking my patented shit eating grin, I stealthily get up from my seat and creep over to her, taking each step as slowly and quietly as possible until…
>I pounce, pulling her into a big hug from behind.
>Lucy, for her part, lets out a surprised noise that’s halfway between a screech and a honk. A Scronk, if you will.
>She glances back at me, her angry face making her look even hotter.
>What’s less hot is the elbow to the gut she rewards me with.
