I was planning to ask this for a while but thought now would be best for ~MAXIMUM HILARITY~ since a comic about Marten and Dora getting married was just posted lawl ohemgee.

OK but no, who cares about them.

It was sort of implied but I just want to be in the clear - are Mr. Reed and that blonde guy gonna have their wedding sometime soon? And if so, I'm GUESSING they're going to invite his son and his girlfriend, so do I smell a super special awesome wedding arc?

you know like all the awesome season finales of Friends oh god i hope it's just like friends

They are already married, see panel three here.

...what about it?

Considering that they just got engaged two strips earlier, I doubt they were married.

Of course, the question of "where" comes up. Canada is fine, but unless they'd be emigrating (yeah, good luck!) it's kind of a token gesture. Probably one of the New England states other than Massachusetts (or Maine or Rhode Island), unless they planned to move, since Florida has explicitly banned it, which means they would have to.

They said they were going to Vermont, which legalized it April 7 2009 in our universe. If timing and laws are as similar to ours in the QC universe as bands are, then Vermont may be the wedding site.

Well, the step-son thing. Or is that different in English?

jwhouk · « **Reply #5 on:** 13 Jan 2010, 17:07 »

Ja.

Maurice (Henry's partner) is saying that, from here on out (after they get married), he will have to start calling Marten "step-son".

Call it "implied future tense".

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #6 on:** 14 Jan 2010, 02:32 »

More like interrogative future conditional, since it was a question, but whatever; the future tense in English is largely a joke mad up of bits of the past and present tenses smooshed together.

FTFY.

GETTING A LITTLE OFF-TOPIC but its okay im cool with that guys

jwhouk · « **Reply #9 on:** 14 Jan 2010, 22:01 »

Well, then, back on topic: I'm to assume that they did go up to Vermont to get married (Is VT one of the places where gay couples can get married?).

If that wasn't the case (just a ski-weekend thing), then the wedding could be anytime in the future.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #10 on:** 16 Jan 2010, 16:54 »

They could go there to get married and have the ceremony elsewhere.

Just a thought.

Carl-E · « **Reply #11 on:** 16 Jan 2010, 19:06 »

I see Marten giving his father away.

Dora and Faye are (joint) maids of honor.

Wil officiates (he has a mail-order divinity degree).

Hannelore is the flower grl.

Pintsize throws a bachelor party.

I assumed it was just a ski-weekend thing, since it seemed like they'd been planning it beforehand, and "will you marry me" didn't seem to have an implied "right now" attached.

Also, I think Vermont was still a civil union state when that was written.

There will be Cake

jwhouk · « **Reply #14 on:** 17 Jan 2010, 21:22 »

Nope, Pintsize will eat it all first.

Carl-E · « **Reply #15 on:** 17 Jan 2010, 22:44 »

He'll eat the batter, before it even gets half-baked.

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #16 on:** 18 Jan 2010, 00:30 »

He'll eat the oven. Or maybe try to date it first.

Flower girl's the one as throws some petals at the aisle right?
I think. Too sleepy to wiki.
She'd have to throw an equal amount of kitty I love you too but get off my laptop please.
She'd have to throw an equal amount of petals each time, and maybe an at an equal distance, etc.

They said they were going to Vermont but didn't invite Marten. That's an argument against their having gotten married already.

So help me god I will never do a wedding arc*

weddings are awful

*of course having said this, 5 years from now I will end up doing one

jwhouk · « **Reply #20 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 06:00 »

Five years? I'm thinking five months.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #21 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 06:44 »

Comic time or real time? One is equivalent to the other in each time frame.

pwhodges · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 08:39 »

But Jeph, you've done one already!

Carl-E · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 14:16 »

One panel hardly constitutes an arc...

A wedding scene, maybe, but certainly not an arc!

akronnick · « **Reply #24 on:** 21 Jan 2010, 19:39 »

That was a Hannelore fantasy anyway.

Doesn't qualify as a wedding arc.

For that, see the recent Girls with Slingshots/Something Positive crossover, now that's a wedding arc.

Carl-E · « **Reply #25 on:** 21 Jan 2010, 19:46 »

Oooh, that was a good one. And one hell of a crossover! I especially liked that Randy took Candy, one of Danielle's characters, and did more character developement with her then her maker!

But (as always), I digress...

raoullefere · « **Reply #26 on:** 26 Jan 2010, 01:45 »

I agree that one panel does not a wedding arc make. But never say never, because if you ever say never, you might as well get on with it now, you poor fellow, for you will, precious, oh, yes, you will! And, worse, you'll even want to.
