Aw, crap. I can just feel the Rule of Drama making its unholy alliance with Murphy's Law already.
If I have any argument about the dramatic possibility of an outright breakup, it's that they got engaged something like a few dozen strips ago -- okay, I checked, it was #3979, and then it took ten more strips after that to confirm that there was actually a "yes" involved. Something like that doesn't get chucked overboard so quickly, especially contrasted to however long (at least a thousand strips, right?) the two were in a relationship before getting engaged.
No, this seems more likely of an arc to put them through a rough patch and come out stronger for it, which we haven't seen them do. Or to induce some other people's relationship into a rough patch. Possibly both, because there's no way this only involves the two of them and nobody else.
Stoon:
I'm sure that Heilung has resurrected an appropriate ancient Nordic ritual for the situation.

That would be interesting, but I get the sense that Jeph has gone all "bored now" with her and Winslow, and shoved them out of the picture permanently to serve as one-off cutaway strips.

Well at least that's more than what Penelope and Will get or Cosette and Steve for that matter, however, I don't think he's done with her yet and a wedding is a great way to bring a lot of familiar faces back like Raven.
BenRG:
I'm pretty sure that this is just a one-off strip. I'm not expecting any follow-up next week.
That said, I do like the joke: Tai never knew how complex a wedding could be until she started reading promotional material created by corporations with a financial interest in making it complex (so they can sell you the solutions to that complexity). Everyone wants that big day in their life to be special but somehow, in modern culture, 'special' and 'expensive' have become merged!
'Fire rituals'? Well, if you can have Jedi and Klingon weddings, why not something that looks like it might have originally come out of Zoroastrianism?

I'm sure that How to Train Your Dragon 3 - The Hidden World has given birth to a tidal wave of pseudo-Viking weddings amongst the franchise's fans!

Le Sigh. Whatever happened to a nice simple blacksmith wedding?
