"Oh, good, because I liked our wedding. It was nice, but the hassle was annoying. Let's not do that again."

"If you want, we could do a renewing-our-vows, nice and private and low-hassle."

"Hmmmmm," he muses. "Maybe. Did we have a 'Til Death Do Us Part' clause in the vows? Do we need to renew them?"

"Now that's a likely unprecedented use of the concept."

"Veron wasn't at our wedding, either, but getting vows renewed seems a little silly. Hmmm."

"Well, he could come to the renewal."

"Okay," he says whimsically. "You've convinced me, at the renewal we get to specifically mention that death does not part us, screw that, let's be properly immortal."

"Yes. Proper immortality. We can invite our alts. Maybe not the terrible one. I will leave the invitation of the terrible one up to you."

"I may or may not invite him, I'm not sure, yet. Would that be okay for Iobel and Edarial? They were annoyed at us for flaunting, and this is going to be a very flaunty event."

"Well, they don't have to come."

"True. Invitations out of niceness, then."

"Mm-hm. But besides alts and immediate family let's not overdo it, we don't want the hassle again."

"Agreed, the hassle was annoying. Worth it, worth every minute of it, but - annoying."

"Hence, do-over."

"Yes," he laughs. "Do-over."

"But if this one turns out to be annoying too please don't die yet again just to get another shot. It is legal to do vow renewals as often as one likes without intervening mortality."

"It wouldn't go over well."

"No, and I wouldn't blame you in the slightest for that. If I think that is an intelligent thing to do, hit me over the head with something, because it's either an imposter or mind control."

"Please do not be impostored or mind controlled. This would also not go over well."

"I solemnly swear to do my best to prevent both."

"Your terrible alt is not terrible at restaurant recommendations."

"He isn't! If he were I would be annoyed with him, and then probably commandeer his kitchen to make something edible."
