the marriage of true minds
WHO: Newton Geiszler, Hermann Gottlieb, AND YOU
WHERE: Alaska, courtesy of teleportation via Midnighter's apartment
WHEN: March 27th, evening
WHAT: A wedding. After all that's been happening this month, let's enjoy a nice evening of two constantly bickering nerds finally making good on the day they first met. It's not red, white, or purple... Safe for the whole family.
WARNINGS: Um. Nerds being Nerds.
NOTES: There are subthreads for the major events, but feel free to make your own or ping either youko/Hermann or me/Newt if you want something not listed.
Ceremony:
No matter what effort anyone--Kang, Newt himself, or a well-meaning guest--might have put into straightening up his suit and tie, by the time Newt walks down the aisle, his necktie is glaringly mis-tied. Hermann and Newt bicker over the tie, oblivious to the guests waiting on them until, finally, Hermann fixes it to satisfaction, and the ceremony resumes.
They exchange vows and rings with some nervousness and a fair amount of emotion. Hermann removes Newt's glasses, and they kiss...
And then, in an act of symbolism, they tear up the dividing line.
Two halves, one now connected whole.
Reception:
Please partake of the open bar during dinner, but try not to get too carried away. Before cake is served, there is champagne and the opportunity to give a toast. Feel free to embarrass yourself or the newlyweds with a toast. Gifts may be left on the table or presented to the newlyweds.
Newt does NOT shove the cake in Hermann's face when they cut the first slice...however much he is tempted and/or egged on.
After dinner, the dance floor opens up. The newlyweds dance their "first" dance as husbands. Hopefully no one is too terribly drunk. Newt and Hermann take some of this time to greet everyone and socialize.
At the end of the night, Newt--more than a wee bit drunk--commandeers a piano and attempts to play John Legend's All of Me. It's going great....UNTIL he starts to sing.
Hermann all but hauls him away by his ear and excuses them both.
Please enjoy the evening.

"Congratulations," he says with warmth. "Both of you. It's a great night. I know you're going to be happy together."
The soldier looks tired, and feels the same, but if Hermann and Newt are still up for going through with this after everything that just happened, like hell is Jacob going to miss it.

"Wonderful to see you, Jacob. I am sorry for dragging you here; it's been a trying weekend for us all. But I hope you've been enjoying yourself somewhat."

He lets go of Hermann's hand and rubs the back of his head for a moment. "I'm having a great time," he says, and means it, even though he's going to sleep for a week after this. "I'm curious, though: why Alaska?"

"As you may know, we're a bit ahead of current events in our world. We met here at a conference on March 27th, 2017. Up until then, we'd written letters discussing our theories for a few years, but we decided to meet..." Hermann cast a wry look at Newton before turning his attention back to Jacob.
"Well, between his utter lack of professionalism and my dismissive attitude, that went over rather poorly and we didn't reconcile for a good number of years. So we decided to rewrite history, on this exact date, as close to the place we'd met as comfortably possible."

Jacob's to-do list runs something like 1) help safe Galaxy from genocidal living spaceships 2) find purpose in life 3) help save Earth as an imPort and 4) get married, raise family, be best Dad and husband ever. Not necessarily in that order.
