“Ssso how wasss today?” Clemens asked once he joined Jenny in the kitchen.
After everything that had happened to Jenny, from the dead mouse stunt to the fake convention notice, he had good reason for concern. It seemed that while he himself had not faced the worst, save for that, event, shortly after he took the Animatrix Serum, Jenny on the other hand, was facing bullying at her own workplace, specifically from two of them who were seemingly modifying their tactics to keep within the Letter of the Rules & Regulations of the Workplace and the Law while still managing to harass Jenny.
“Today wasn’t so bad, didn’t even see them today.” Jenny sighed, not in frustration but relief.
“Well that’sss good to hear.” That was good news for Clemens as he embraced Jenny. “Thyme again?”
“Never done it with beef before, so I thought we’d give it a try.” Jenny confirmed his suspicions. “It’ll be a while before it’s ready though.”
“I’ll check a few thingsss in the meantime then.” Clemens left Jenny to prepare dinner as he went to check on what might be in his and their shared e-mail accounts.
Getting out of his work clothes, folding them neatly on the end of the bed where they’d stay until they went to sleep while their laptop powered up. Once it was ready for use, Clemens brought up their e-mail accounts, and after clearing out the Spam, came across one that caught his attention.
This one came from Molly and George, and had the title ‘Marriage Tips’ in the Subject Heading. This one he brought up right away, knowing they’d already married and thus would know something about what they were about to go through:
Jenny and Clemens
First of all, congratulations on your coming marriage, though we are sorry that we won’t be able to attend ourselves given our responsibilities, but Joseph has said that he will do what he can so we can see the highlights at the very least.
With regards to our own marriage, we did have some difficulties (R.A.M. was still potent at that time), with an inflated cost for a marriage licence since they couldn’t halt it altogether, with other attempts made to make it look as though we hadn’t followed proper procedures. Though we gather that this won’t be as serious, if at all, for yourselves since from what we’ve been told, it’s a far more elaborate ceremony than our own and aided by a Wedding Planner, and with the worst of the likes of R.A.M. put down.
The best advice we can give to you, is to not allow your nerves to control you, don’t worry about things going wrong, and let it all flow on its own, from there, it should all come together. It’s your day, Clemens and Jenny, enjoy it to the full.
We do hope to be able to see you again.
Molly and George
Well the advice did sound a lot like basic common sense, and he had to admit that their own wedding looked to be a lot more basic than the one he and jenny were planning, which would result in some notable differences between their respective weddings.
He printed the e-mail off, bringing it with him just as Jenny had the table set.
“You’re just in time, what is that?”
“Printed an e-mail, it came from George and Molly.” Clemens answered as he handed it over.
“The advice here, really is common sense.” Jenny agreed with Clemens earlier assessment. “But it’s still nice that they gave it to us.”
“That it isss.” Clemens replied as he sat down. “Perhapsss we should keep it sssomewhere sssafe.”
“I think that’s the best thing we can do.” Jenny set the printout under the table for the time being, where she could leave it until dinner was finished.
