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.]

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!"

Paige stares at him for a moment, "yeah that's never. gonna. happen!"

Shep mutters, "Suddenly this two girls at once thing is not *nearly* as much fun as it was a few minutes ago."

"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."

"I'm more worried about her knowing where my heart is. And aiming for it with a sharp impliment!"

Ahh, so that's it.

"Shep... Lana and I talked a lot abut you this past weekend."

"Oh, do tell," and he was prepared to get physical if she didn't. She brought it up, she damn well better be willing to spill.

It would never occur to her to tease Shep about something like this.

"Lana really cares about you, Shep. She lights up when she says your name."

Shep just rolls his eyes up and shakes his head back and forth in embarassment. The thought both pleases and terrifies him. He still has this idea in the back of his head that she expects more of him than he's capable of giving.

"Can we recharge an iPod on her wattage?" he jokes to cover up his insecurity.

Yay, empathic witch.

"Shep? Relax. Right now, she just enjoys being with you. Trust me, she isn't making wedding plans."

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure after my anti-marriage rants this week, she won't be bringing that up for a while. Though to be fair, it was more anti-wedding-drama than anti-marriage. Marriage is fine. Weddings are all emo-nightmares. For everyone. So... back to the project... we're all getting married, right?"

Phoebe is a good friend and not a meddler.

"Yep, unless you just want to marry one of us, but you have to choose in that case."

"No matter what I do, I have a feeling, I lose. So you two get together and get back to me about who I'm supposed to marry."

And only at Fandom High would he possibly utter a sentence like that.

"Then I'm your bride," Phoebe says with a smile

"Guess I'll be the one doing the cerimony then huh?"

Phoebe grins. "Yep. We can have so much fun with this."

"there seem to be quite a few descriptions of handfasting though, guess we just pick the one that look most interesting and remove the sword part? Do you both want to actually get dressed up ~~cos the mun may have a couple of dresses picked out~~?"

"Works for me," Shep says, just glad that he didn't have to decide. (and that just like his life in Atlantis, he could explain to anyone who had a vested interest, that he was just coping as best he could with women who thrust themselves at him periodially and without warning.)

"Oh come on Shep are you a man or a mouse?" she asks grinning, "just pick one!"

"Pass the cheese?"

Paige just shook her head smirked

Phoebe laughs.
