#they'd still have this reaction and maybe take everyone to the courthouse why not

[librarygf]

you wanna talk about ian and mickey? everytime the courthouse kiss pops up on my dashboard, I wonder what could’ve happened if they did end up getting married that day.

they didn’t tell anyone about their plans before they went to the courthouse, right? so did they just go home all secretly happy and smiling to themselves (like after they got engaged in canon), not telling anyone until one of the gallagher siblings notices the matching rings (did they get rings before the courthouse? some cheap 2nd hand ones?) - maybe lip notices and pulls ian aside all like “did you finally get engaged?” and ian’s all blushy and smirky and tells him they’ve actually gone one step further than that already and maybe the siblings and kev&v throw them a wedding party the following weekend because finally these two idiots got married and why tf didn’t you tell us but really everyone is just happy ♥️

(I also don’t even know if they would’ve gotten married in the original script of s10 before cameron broke his leg)

first of all sorry i didn't see this yesterday i guess i lied when i said i'd be here oops 🤦‍♀️ but i love this idea!!! it's kind of fascinating to me that everything's going so fast at the courthouse, and that they're in the middle of bickering when it's time to sign the papers. i just imagine that if they had both signed, the woman helping them would've been like there you go that's your marriage certificate, and they would've been like wait....we're married?? bc they kind of weren't paying attention lmao, but then all the bickering would stop and they'd just look at each other like ....yo. you're my husband now 🥺 (almost, i think they need to be married by a judge for it to be final but disregard that) and i think it's actually such a significant thing to them both that they'd have delayed reaction and be dazed at first walking out of the courthouse together, before it’d dawn on them for real what just happened. maybe one of them would start by asking if they should get rings, and they'd go pick some out together and not be able to stop smiling, exactly like you said, bc they literally just married each other and that’s so wild!!! 🤕 and then they'd get home and everyone would be so excited and they would too and then realize that they actually wanted to have a party to celebrate bc that shit was fucking ten years in the making and they deserve that!!!
