Katrina (aka

seams_unusual)! You're not supposed to help them hang you!! (They were bein' hung for the crime of living in sin, you see....they could only escape a hangin' by gettin' married...seemed to work out.)

If I look half that good if/when I get married, I think I'll be pretty happy. Also, the fan was a genius idea, you have something to fidget with during the ceremony.

I'm wearing Tyson's HUGE hat. Shawn's expression is priceless.

I was but a young innocent thing freshly arrived in the city, when a beautifully dressed woman offered to help me, only to lead me into a life of crime...

AKA:

singswithtrees is wearing Tyson's hat, and I'm wearing Patrick's.

Jesus, do I hate navigating through photobucket. You people need flickr accounts. And I'm obviously hotlinking, let me know if that bothers you and I'll put them on my flickr or something.

The ceremony started with them being led to the hanging platform by people in pirate garb, and they each had their hands tied together in front of them. Once they were there, one pirate put the nooses on them while another read a "proclamation" saying they had to be married or they'd be hung. The officiant said his thing, Katrina sang a song about how Marty was her navigator etc while her father played the guitar (it was beautiful, omg), then Marty recited the lyrics for "Sweet Child O'Mine" by Guns'n'Roses (except her father did the actual line "oh, sweet child o'mine" in the chorus every time). They were proclaimed married, they got to kiss (Katrina held the fan up to hide it, which was adorable) and the nooses were taken off, with the pirates making a show of disappointment at not being able to hang them.

I mean, hanging was the usual punishment for all sorts of things for hundreds of years. It wasn't just used for lynching, and I doubt that even occurred to anybody!
