Reason # 2,198 why I'm marrying this boy

[missroserose]

While he's taking pictures of breaching humpbacks out at Douglas Harbor, I'm off by the pier waiting for our friend David (who's been out fishing on his friend's boat) to come in. Thinking I'll check out the time, I pull Brian's iPhone out of my back pocket.

And drop it into the harbor. In murky, cloudy, silty Alaska water.

I reach in to try to find it, then borrow a net and try to dredge it up, but I have only a vague idea of where it is, and I have no luck finding it. Eventually I give up, only to catch sight of the edge reflecting light underneath the surface, and I reach out and grab it. But it's been in there a few minutes already, so it's pretty much dead.

Brian shows up shortly after I do so, and asks what's going on. Everyone on the pier, including David, suddenly finds their feet very fascinating.

I say in a very small voice, "I dropped your phone into the harbor."

There is a very long silence, which includes a Look.

Then he says, "It's okay. I still love you." And hugs me.

David: "I now pronounce you man and wife."

You marry him, I marry her?

I was just thinking we all marry each other. (Only one wedding presents *amazing* cost savings!)

Sorry, arrangements are already made and I think the coordinater might be thrown for a bit of a loop if I suddenly wanted to add two grooms. (Although, it strikes me that it would be funny to see the price structure for a place that catered to group weddings:

Traditional Wedding - $3500
Additional Groom - $75 each
Additional Bride - $100 each

Why do you think the brides are more expensive? More demand! (Also, more trouble. :)
