At this, Wilhelm and June exchanged pleasant surprised looks, little smiles tugging at the corners of their lips: She really wanted one of them to officiate? It wasn't a response they had at all expected, but it was an idea neither of them had any problem warming to.

"What do you think of that, lad?" Wilhelm asked curiously, at which Randall grinned a little, squeezing Emily's hand, saying warmly, "I...I think that's a wonderful idea!" It would be so intimate that way; just him, Emily, and his parents-he felt no need for a big wedding; something much smaller, more exclusive to his little family, that was enough for him.

"What say you, Junie? You wanna officiate?" Wilhelm asked, at which June's brows rose, asking softly, "Me? You think I should?"

"I think you'd be great at it," her husband replied warmly, Randall nodding in agreement, saying, "I think you would too, Ma, really. Emily and I...we'd be very happy to have you marry us."

"W-Well," June blushed bashfully, glancing down a little shyly at this, before looking back to her son and his bride and smiling, "If that's what you went...then I would proud and honored to do it. Proud and honored."

Randall felt a bit like a yo-yo during this conversation, going from brightening at the suggestion of a courthouse wedding, only to falter when Emily pointed out the time discrepancy. She was right: It'd need to be open very late for their wedding, and that just may not be a possibility...

However, it didn't take June to say, as she took a sip of her tea, "Well, tell you what: I treat a couple of the justice's grandchildren at the clinic, and we've spoken a few times when he's brought them in-his daughter and her husband sometimes can't get out of work, so he steps up. Why don't I talk to him, and see if there's anything we can arrange?"

"Really, Ma?" Randall asked, brows rising in surprise at this suggestion, at which his mother shrugged with a little smile, saying, "It's worth a shot!" She could tell him that her son and his bride-to-be both worked very late and wouldn't be able to make it any earlier than the evening-given the odd hours his daughter and son-in-law worked at their joint law firm, he might understand.

"Unless you two have any other ideas?" Wilhelm ventured to ask, at which Randall smiled, admitting, "Nothing in particular," before turning to Emily-did she have an alternative suggestion?
