[ Jaime turns his head. The swatches of fabric float into his vision. ]
Not, like, explicitly. 'Cause I'm a boy. I know everyone expects the bride to control everything. [ He and Ruka don't work like that, though. She knows that this is just as important to him as it is to her. They make the big decisions together, and the smaller ones, they figure out along the way.
He tilts his head up, snorting a little. ]
We've never really fit that mold. [ And he's glad for it. He could have been happy with someone who did, but he wouldn't have known what he's missing out on. ]
But we'd talk about it sometimes. When we went to a cousin's wedding, she was always, like, you'll have one just like this one day, mijo. Or... when you get married, you're certainly not going to be wearing that.
[ There's a curve to his mouth. It's fond. Not sad, per se, but he can't help but long for them, for his family. ]
She wouldn't have been able to resist helping, even if whoever I married didn't want her to. I've got a looooot of cousins. And half of 'em are way older than me. We went to a lot of weddings.
