Sex Cultures

Grissom is definitely smirking.

"No lecture today. Instead, I am going to assign you a partner, and give each team a unique assignment.

Today in class, you should chat with your partner and discuss how you are going to develop your presentation on the topic I am going to give to you. Each team will present on Tuesday.

Now, as you may remember, we have been discussing marriage and its role in our society. Most cultures have a ceremony of some kind, to officially begin such a union. Generally, that's called a wedding. However, different societies have much different ways of conducting weddings, and I think it would be very useful for everyone to see some of these differences first hand.

So..." oh, the smirking. "You are your partner will each be assigned a type of wedding. I will give you each a packet with the information you will need. And then, on Tuesday you will act out the ceremony for all of us with your partner.

Kissing of the bride optional.

And your partners are..."

[OOC: Please remember, no godding that your partner is late to class. Slow-play is our friend. ~~Threads with partners and assignments will be going up in the next few minutes, thanks!~~ Up! Also, mwahahaha.]

Remembering what Lana had told her, Phoebe smirks at Shep. "I'm thinking lots of mead will be discussed?"

Paige frowns, "hey no fair, I can't drink! I liked mead as well."

She's also in no way already planned a medieval wedding in her head, nope not Paige.

"Well, it could be worse. We could be planning a demon wedding or we could be partnered with Sawyer."

She nods and looks over at at Sawyer who's sitting with Han and bites her lip hard to stop herself from laughing, "I think I might love Grissom" she says with a grin as she flicks through the packet, "actually this look pretty interesting."

"Grissom is so very awesome." Phoebe grins. "And if Sawyer gives Han any problems, Han'll flatten him."

And the worrying thing is Paige suspects Sawyer's arrogant enough to aruge with him.

"I shouldn't be getting quite so much pleasure out of this should I? I mean I do still sorta love him, but well, it is really really funny!"

"It is really, really funny," Phoebe agrees. She looks over at Cole and then looks back at Paige. "This...could be fun."

"Fun for some, a complete nightmare for others, either way it'll interesting to watch!"

I'm vetoing any part of anything that has to do with swords. Me, the Renisance and swords are a bad combination.

Anything else (that doesn't lead to Lana kicking my ass) is cool.

Paige nodded, "yeah good point, but erm what do thing of doing the handfasting? And most importantly who's going to be the bride?"

"Handfasting is fine. Though I'd like to state up front that if you think I'm doing it skyclad, we're going to have to have that mead discussion first." He smiles, but there's something in his eyes that says he's damn serious.

"And if you think I'm opening up the hornets nest of picking one of you over the other, forget it." He leans back on the desk, arms folded, cocky grin firmly in place. "You two can just fight over me." He doesn't say 'it's good to be the king' out loud.

Phoebe laughs. "Hey Shep, marry both of us. It'll be a different presentation than the norm, which Grissom knew or he wouldn't have teamed the three of us together."

So now we're back to three way, he thinks. "Um... sure. I'm easy. Okay, perhaps that wasn't the best thing to say under the circumstances." But seriously, what guy is gonna turn down the chance to look like the class stud?

"Who's gonna do the ceremony then?"

Phoebe giggles. "I'm sure we can get Lana or Kiki to help... if they can keep from giggling."

Paige giggles too, "okay so you're marrying sisters, you have no idea what you're letting yourself in for do you Shep?" she asks.

Best. Class. Ever!

Shep looks back and forth, his eyes going wide, somehow this fact had managed to slip past him until now.

"Damn... this really puts a dampener on the whole 'first I kiss one of you then the other... then get the two of you to kiss each other' thing!"

"Yes," Shep says abruptly, "Because that conversation will go well. "Lana, dear, I know you can't take Sex Cultures because you'd burst a blood vessel somewhere important from blushing, but would you mind coming by next week to marry me to two other girls?"

he gives Phoebe a "GUH?!" look.

"Shep, if you tell her it's me, she'll be amused. She knows where my heart is."

Aww... not going to make Sawyer the bride?

Paige isn't laughing, she's really not, she's also not trying to say "oh please do it, please!"

"Phoebe, honey, I wouldn't marry a girl that ugly. Even I got SOME standards."

"I'm thinking you're right."
