"Arrogant?" He looks a little puzzled but shakes his head, "No, I don't think so. I think this place could use more to celebrate considering the hell we're so often put through. I've had a few chances now to see how different everyone is when they can relax and enjoy themselves. I'd like to give our friends something like that, at the very least. The handful or so of people that might like to celebrate our happiness."
He tilts his head, "I was more concerned about how you felt being that public about all of this. It's one thing to do a drunken, quick, and personal thing in a Port, another entirely to plan and hold something with clear intention and a spotlight on us. But if that's something you want, then I do too."
He considers a moment, "It doesn't have to be anything fancy, hell, I'd be just as happy skipping straight to the reception."
Raylan bobs his head at the question, face screwing up and relaxing in a facial shrug to match. He feels Complicated about it all, if he were being completely honest.
"Lotta pros and cons. I'll be okay if we keep it a smaller kinda affair. Focus on the reception more, let people have fun. I'm not particularly comfortable with the attention, but it's somethin' I can handle for the sake of it. It ain't about it bein' public either; back home it would be public, just quiet. But everyone loves a wedding, right?"
He sounds more like he's trying to talk himself into it.
"Gonou will wanna come. Jedao too, I imagine. Roman, maybe Sweeney. We could do food? Maybe Kirei to officiate, since I'm pretty sure he's the only priest on board. Where would we have it?"
James nods, expression a little distantly in thought as he takes in the pros and cons.
"Smaller is good for the ceremony I think, intimate, a handful of people we are closest to who want to celebrate us, bear witness to it, and be there for us. But we could do another big Enclosure shindig for the reception? Definitely food and gallons of drink." A pause.
"Really? Only Kirei? I suppose we could ask, I don't know where he stands with me." There is the matter of the Admiral, but he wasn't sure that was an actual avenue they could take. It's not like it has to be 100% official, they already did that part. It would only really matter when they got home to Miami and did it all over again.
