Perhaps you all haven't heard~~, or perhaps you had mistaken it with one of my other near-gallivants down the aisle,~~ but I would like to announce that I am truly, happily getting married.

You may begin calling me Mrs. Gray at your earliest convenience.

~~The ring is perhaps a mite smaller than--~~ The ring is to die for, of course. I will follow with photos as soon as possible.

	Mrs. Gray. I like the sound of that. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It does have a certain je ne sais quoi, doesn't it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	~~I don't even know---~~ Absolutely. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	~~You can't be serious. You're marrying that half blood? Are you trying to ruin my life by throwing yours away? THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO JUST BE SOME STUPID PHASE!~~ Congratulations. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-08 10:33 am UTC (link)
	Congratulations doesn't generally come accompanied by such a large ink splot, Kalista. Or are you just that elated at the news of my good fortune? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hath_no_fury 2013-07-08 10:34 am UTC (link)
	I'm overjoyed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-08 10:35 am UTC (link)
	I'll bet you are. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I do hope I get an invitation, Cecilia. I anticipate it will be quite the event. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-08 11:01 am UTC (link)
	Don't worry, you won't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hath_no_fury 2013-07-08 11:09 am UTC (link)
	No worries, I'm sure I'll hear all about it one way or another. Tell me, can a father give his daughter away twice? How does that work exactly? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-09 08:56 am UTC (link)
	I've never been given away before, nor do I have a father, so your thinly-veiled jab makes little sense, but do keep on trying. I could use some entertainment today. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hath_no_fury 2013-07-09 10:17 am UTC (link)
	Never been given away? I do seem to recall you being disowned a while back - were they not giving you away then, in a sense? Honestly, Cecilia, there used to be a time when my jabs didn't need to be explained to you. They seem to lose their humor in translation. Quite disappointing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-09 10:21 am UTC (link)
	Was I disowned, or did I leave? There is a grey line there in which we could debate the fact, were it worth debating with you. Yes, well, those times are long dead, in more ways than one. That much we should be able to agree on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hath_no_fury 2013-07-09 10:32 am UTC (link)
	Say what you will, but you're nothing more than a broken branch on your family tree. You and Nicholas can remain splintered in the dirt together. At least you'll have company down there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-09 10:43 am UTC (link)
	Better with company at the bottom than alone and miserable at the top. Perhaps you should have implored your brother not to get himself killed and we would not be such lost friends, Kalista, but there is no going back to how we were now, is there? It is at least better to know that you never truly regarded me now than never-- (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hath_no_fury 2013-07-09 10:52 am UTC (link)
	~~I wouldn't be so alone and miserable if you hadn't run off to marry some halfblood and--~~ ~~We were supposed to be at the top together - we were going to be sisters, once.~~ I don't know what you're talking about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-09 10:57 am UTC (link)
	If that is how you prefer to play it, then... Remember, dearest Kalista, I have seen the cruelties of our world quite thoroughly and try as you might to deceive the rest, you cannot deceive me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hath_no_fury 2013-07-09 11:08 am UTC (link)
	It stopped being our world a long time ago, Cecilia. Don't pretend to know what it's like ~~to be married to a man who wants nothing to do with you because you can't give him an heir~~ to be a part of it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Yes, I would imagine that spending over 20 years of my life thrown about by it, surviving the death of the man I would have hoped to spend my life with and being paired with two different men who were nothing more than bargains to deal with my disgraced status as the lover of a convicted man and later of one turned down in favor of a halfblood has really not been quite enough experience of that world for a lifetime.

You are too right, Kalista, I know absolutely nothing and have not suffered half the amount as any other well-bred lady that ever lived, and had only I bothered to try harder perhaps I too could be stuck quite like yourself in a loveless marriage!

I am so glad we have this out in the open, for I did always feel so very selfish when I chanced to recall the very ease with which my life has progressed!

	hath_no_fury 2013-07-09 11:24 am UTC (link)
	So it was alright for the both of us to be disgusted by the fact that Donovan Rookwood chose some halfblood slut over you, but it's completely unreasonable for me to not be accepting of your engagement to one? You're a hypocrite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh no, Kalista, I thoroughly understand your reasoning--for as you so kindly pointed out, in contradiction to your previous statement, that I do in fact know what it is like to be engrossed in that world of sorry selfish people who look down upon everyone and everything not to their level of perfection. In fact, I never said that I expected nor wished for your approval, so you are perhaps grasping for straws in the wrong place in this argument.

So please cease throwing yourself at me with your criticisms when I have only ever done my very best since this all began to write you out of my life, knowing and understanding full well why you would never approve.

Perhaps you could take a step back and realize that it is not I who is always coming to you to start a quill and parchment argument. Perhaps save your ink for somewhere not my journal the next time you see I have written an entry.

	Oh, how LOVELY! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Isn't it, though? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Whoa, congratulations, Cecilia! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	cecilias 2013-07-09 09:34 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, Timothy. I have not spoken with my sister in ages, but I do hope you'll pass the news along to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	raindrops 2013-07-09 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	I'm so happy to hear it, Cecilia. My best wishes to you both. (Reply to this)(Parent)
