The Question Part 2 - Guests

10:02
Forgot to ask you last night - who's coming?
JW

10:02
Coming where?
SH

10:03
To the wedding. I'm assuming you've invited a few guests.
JW

10:04
Why would I?
SH

10:04
Well we need a witness - and some might want to commemorate the occasion.
JW

10:05
I'd forgotten about a witness - you choose.
SH

10:06
Really?
JW

10:07
Sure. I hardly care who attends.
SH

10:07
You'd care if I invited Mycroft.
JW

10:08
No - I'd call off the wedding and leave you to deal with him on your own.
SH

10:09
Hmm - guess I'd better leave him out of it. I'd hate to be jilted by you.
JW

10:09
Wise decision.
SH

10:10
Course I still might end up alone at the altar if there's an intriguing case that day.
JW

10:10
You know me so well.
SH

10:11
I sincerely hope you're joking, because I was.
JW

10:12
I am. It may be difficult to discern at times but I do in fact love you.
SH

10:13
Good 'cause I love you. I'll invite Lestrade just in case though.
JW

10:13
He could still get called away and I'd follow.
SH

10:14
True – but I'd be there to hold you in place. Maybe we should be handcuffed together for the ceremony?
JW

10:14
You're taking rather drastic precautionary measures.
SH

10:15
Can never be too careful with you.
JW

10:15
Was that an insult?
SH

10:16
Not intentionally - but it did sound like one in text. Sorry.
JW

10:17
Quite alright. I do the same thing.
SH

10:17
No you don't. When you insult someone you do it on purpose.
JW

10:18
Do not. At times I'm merely stating a fact and they take offense to it.
SH

10:18
That's because you're saying something offensive – hence an insult.
JW

10:19
Not true. It's only a insult if your purpose it to offend – mine is not.
SH

10:19
Then what is your purpose?
JW

10:20
Just sharing my observations.
SH

10:20
If you say so.
JW

10:21
Let's just get back to the question of a witness.
SH

10:21
Right. We'll have Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade and Molly. That work?
JW

10:22
We only need one.
SH

10:22
I know - but they're our friends and I want them there. You said it was my choice.
JW

10:23
Fair enough.
SH

10:24
How about Mike as well?
JW

10:24
Mike?
SH

10:25
Yes - Stamford. He introduced us.
JW

10:25
That's a repulsively sentimental reason to invite someone.
SH

10:26
We're getting married and like it or not that is a sentimental occasion. If it weren't for him we would never have met and we owe him an invitation.
JW

10:26
Fine. Stamford,Lestrade,Molly and Mrs. Hudson are the end of it though.
SH

10:27
Sounds good to me. I prefer a small wedding anyway. What about a honeymoon?
JW

10:27
Honeymoon?!
SH

10:28
I'm kidding. I know better than to try and drag you on holiday.
JW

10:28
I should hope so.
SH

10:29
Shall I handle sending out the invitations?
JW

10:29
If you like.
SH

10:30
Just thought it would be better than them getting a text from you with just a day and time.
JW

10:30
Why do they need to know anything else?
SH

10:31
Never mind. Just let me handle it.
JW

10:31
Gladly.
SH

10:32
I'll nip down to the store after work and get some.
JW

10:33
Oh – get some peroxide as well.
SH

10:33
Will do. Love you.
JW

10:34
I should hope so. I don't think an unrequited romance would suit me.
SH

10:34
Not in the least.
JW
