Wedding out of Time

It seems the angels had quite a bit of insight, and a sense of humour too. They had handled the courtship with a few tricks of the light and a /holographic/ double. Well not strictly a hologram, but there has to be some mystery, something to study later.

It was kind of awkward not having them touch that much, but they respected his wishes and only followed what was written. Thankfully the worst of it ended up being a text message, or lucid dream gone wild. Or maybe it had happened, and they did get caught. Maybe she threw herself at him and he rebuffed her. Either way it was pardoned by now.

The eve of the wedding approached, but he wasn't there. It seems there were limits to what would be done without him actually there. Or maybe it had happened already and he forgot it. He remembered it as being an anticlimax.

That's the trouble with time travel, you never quite know where you're at. He could picture the whole narrative in his mind. A quiet wedding rehearsal followed by the real thing in England. A new movie – Project London, an indie project suddenly gone viral. The couple decided to take in a movie before the big day.

He had used the last of his saving to get as many people there that he could. They were busy getting the location ready – the botanical gardens in Cardiff.

It seemed like everything was getting a little too crazy though. The world at large was going downhill rapidly. After the wedding, the two of them vanished.

Nobody thought to check in the theatre, where they were suddenly watching themselves get married...
