Iki's moonlit gaze rose to meet the man's big blue eyes and she listened with rapt attention to every word that he spoke. Deimos delivered a vow; a set of binding words. Iki's heart soared and the woman smiled as he finished his speech. The purple man declared them wed and Iki shook her head. "Not quite yet."

They'd done it the right way.
