Samantha, as noted above.

Imagine Sam trying to "ew!" her way out of it.

Maybe Dora and Tai could be talked into having a "snake girl" instead.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 14 Apr 2019, 23:33 ---I think that Faye was genuinely into Angus but this emotional stake had developed before they questioned whether their desires for the future went in the same direction. That, if nothing else, is the parallel between them and Marten and Claire's relationship because Claire is too insecure to look to the future and Marten too unwilling to rock the boat. So, maybe that's the lesson to learn: Marten and Claire need to be sure that they really do want to be together no matter what before some major decision gate appears on the path immediately ahead. FWIW, in retrospect, Jeph made it clear that Faye didn't have that confidence, given how she started drinking heavily the moment the possibility of Angus moving away presented itself.

And that is one of many reasons why I think Marten and his friends are getting ahead of themselves in this situation. The other reasons include;
(1) Claire has to actually pass her exams AND successfully defend her doctorate thesis before she can get her degree. Neither is guaranteed at this point.
(2) She has to utter fail to get a librarian job anywhere in decent commuting distance of Northampton.
(3) She also has to land a job at least a State or two away. Again, neither of these last two is guaranteed either; she may find she can't get a job ANYWHERE!
IMO, if Claire is able to get her degree, then can only find a job in another state several hours' drive (or flight!) from Northampton, THEN she and Marten are going to need to have a serious talk about their future together. Until then, there is little point in sweating the what-ifs.

Oh dear god, no! That would be the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. Sam would probably take it onto herself to go into the woods, get loads of snakes and release them during the ceremony.
But seriously, I just can't see Sam being asked to be a flower girl. Jim and Dora went out on one date and Dora always got the impression that Sam didn't like her (that said, Dora wasn't particularly keen on her if I remember correctly). More than likely they'd ask a young cousin or something to perform the role.

Mieville. Mieville will be the flower girl.
