I've been a complete slacker about replying to comments, sorry! And this is such a sweet one, it made me feel so good when I read it. *loves you* Yeah, I don't know what it was with this story, I'm glad I posted it (because comments from you are always like crack!) but it just fell short of what I wanted. But that happens, right?

I do love Roman's possessiveness. DG portrays it so well, too, straddling sweet and scary -- much as I'm going to grumble about the upcoming eps, I'm still going to relish that, I think.

Interesting that you said that about Germany's laws ... is it perhaps that there's more of a distinction between church & state there, so "marriage" really is a civil institution instead of all tied up in religion?

So go ahead, Roman, marry your little heart out ;)

Oh god, now the thought of Roman getting married is killing me. Talk about Bridezilla!!
