Well, of course it did! [She's pretty charmed, herself. But she's also pretty easy to wow with a pretty smile.] I mean, it's a shame she's not here, but you're really lucky to have someone. I bet you guys are super cute together!

Oh, we look the best together. And believe me, I consider myself so lucky to have her- my first two marriages didn't end up working out, but I'm pretty sure she's the one.

Oooh, two marriages? Were they just like temp contracts or the really messy kind? I've heard about those. They sound scary.

The first one ended when she had an affair, moved to Malibu and served me with divorce papers, but the second one was more amicable. She's my publisher, so we still get along fairly well. And the first one resulted in my daughter, so it wasn't 100% bad.

Oh man, that sounds rough. Sorry. But glad you had a kid! Since I know you have to like... do it like that back when you're from, right?

It's just better to stay friends with everyone. I'm sad when that doesn't happen.

And Alexis turned out to be a great kid despite everything- her mother willingly signed over custody, so I raised her pretty much by myself. We've been close since she was little, though she's in college now and it's a bit hard for me to accept that she's a grownup.

Mmhmm, and it can make things awkward if you still have to have a relationship with that person.

[pain_train]

Oh, that's really good that you didn't fight over your daughter. I hear stuff like that really fucks up kids bad, so lucky for both of you!

I've managed that okay with my one boyfriend, but things were stupid and awkward because I'm super bad at relationship stuff anyway. So good luck to you, I'm never trying that stuff again!

Thank you. I'm really looking forward to marrying Kate, but I'm nervous, too. I hope it'll end up working out for us, or else I might end up not wanting to try again, either. It can take its toll after a few failures.

You should make sure to have a really good cake at your wedding. Because then even if shit goes bad, you had some really awesome cake.

'cause right, when everything else in the world goes to shit, at least there are kittens and ice cream.

That reminds me of a wedding I went to, actually... the ceremony got disrupted by a murdered bridesmaid, but at least everyone had cake to eat.

[pain_train]

Wait, so she was dead and interrupted the ceremony? Like a dysthrope? Or things got interrupted because she was dead?

Though either way I'm glad you got cake!
