Yeah, I somehow forgot that this was their wedding that got crashed. That has to suck so bad.
We don’t talk about Sarnoth, no no no… We don’t talk about Sarnoth.
As much as this isn’t Agent Brown’s fault, you would think that he would be understanding about Marta’s feelings here. If having surprise war crime occur right outside of the building that your wedding is in isn’t traumatic enough, having to spend hours answering questions right afterwards would make it worse. It isn’t just an instant it happens and it isn’t done, but hours of questioning to permanently ingrain it into the day. The whole experience is probably way longer than the wedding at this point. Also might be possible that they won’t be allowed to go on their honeymoon if they are needed to stay around for future questions.
Considering how miffed people can get if jury duty runs over time and affects someone’s plans (including weddings), this is completely expected. It would be more abnormal to have someone excited or thrilled about it all.
On the bright side, I’ve heard it said that it’s good luck to the marriage to have bad luck take over the wedding. I guess the idea is that the newly married couple’s relationship survived whatever bad luck thing that happened on their wedding day – they’re strong enough to survive anything.
Marta & Steve are going to clearly have a full lifetime of joy together.
Can confirm. I was shotgunned by the Judge for my wedding and I’m still married 15 years later.
Well, I don’t blame the blushing bride from going in hard on the champagne. Not every day your wedding gets lethal level fireworks. Though there is something to be said about a literal ship full of wedding crashers and the feds getting involved. At least the Sarnothi don’t have to worry about ICE involvement.
Even when a sheet or two to the wind, Marta does a great job of being hostess, bride and matriarch, with her man appropriately supportive. She navigates between being (understandably) miffed at the disruption and concerned for her family and guests with style.
I love her. <3
Shouldn’t agent brown be the one answering questions?
Marta is my spirit animal. That said, I’m sure she’ll be laughing about this later. Someone is like “and then my mom spilled punch all over the groom!” “no I got one better, the f-ing feds crashed my wedding”
Hmmph, as in, ‘Why do I always get stuck dealing with drunk brides?’ maybe?
Brown is a hard ass. I’m not surprised he didn’t cut anyone any slack just because of a *wedding*.
I think that in her present intoxication and mood, she would not say Mister Brown,” and more likely say something down the lines of “the !@#$%^& fed.”
Good news for them: Disastrous weddings appear to lead to strong marriages. My parents’ wedding caught on fire and they’re approaching 50 years together.
