Wedding Bells

(Squeeeeeee and thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kag523 for both FANTASTIC manips for my post. <3)

The Registry:
Dragon*Con provided a thousand moments of hilarity, but one of my favorites came out of a discussion of the fabled IKEA ship. What is that you ask? Well, as some shippers posited, the Ikea ship is a supply ship for all of those things that could not still exist after months on the run: endless booze, cigars, cigarettes, etc. (which were plentiful of course, even if food was gone). LOL!

So, let's assume that there is an IKEA ship in the fleet and Lee and Kara have gotten engaged. As with all good planners, Lee has signed them up for a wedding registry on the IKEA ship (which has any item you could desire). Kara has added her desired items to Lee's oh-so-practical ones.

What items are on their IKEA wedding registry?

Or maybe you don't give a flying frak about the registry and have better ideas about what these two need to have a happy life together - what are you gonna buy them?

Lovely pics!

As for what I'm getting the happy couple, I'm getting them a sturdy bed. It will make all of us happy.;D

I see Lee as having a more simple, linear aesthetic than Kara. He want to order everything for their kitchen (aboard Pegasus maybe??) in hardwood with chrome details. Kara, on the other hand, is a more of a mix and match type gal... She prefers all the antiqued, battered-looking pieces. I foresee some sort of argument like this:

K: I don't want a kitchen that looks like a doctor's office, Lee. It's too sterile.

L: It's simple and clean, Kara. There's a difference. I happen to like that look.

K: Well I think you need to step out of that clean and tidy, military-issue box you are in. Join the rest of us in the real world.

L: Come muck around in the muck with you?

(she laughs and shoves page 573 of the Ikea book at him)

K: See that bedroom set?

L: That looks like something my grandmother owned, except it's in worse shape than hers. (Lee squints). It looks like its from a flea market.

K; I happen to like things that are worn in.

L: That so?

K: Married you, didn't I?

(Lee steps closer, leaning in for a kiss)

L: I'll compromise. You pick the bedroom set. I get the kitchen.

(Kara laughs)

K: Fine with me. I have no intention of spending ANY time cooking. But the bedroom on the other hand...

Thanks! I totally see this happening. :>)

Hahahahaha! An IKEA ship!!!
Just that alone is enough to ponder.

I think Lee would want things like a bookcase and coffee table (Kara just wants the coffee table to be able to hold their weight). But Kara would insist on the pillows and fluffy comforter....with girly flowers...just to make Lee upset.

I can't help but see them having a game where they register for the worst things ever just to embarrass everyone who is is buying them stuff. Does IKEA sell toilets?

cheers.

Lee: Kara, we live on a spaceship.

Kara: Yeah, so?

Lee: So you can’t ask for a motorcycle. Not unless it will make you happy to drive it in a tiny circle around the hangar deck at about ten miles per hour. You’ll go nuts within a week.

Kara: But once we get to Earth, it’ll be perfect. I’m just thinking of the future, Mr. Beacon-of-Hope. You should try it sometime.

Lee: (smiling) Oh, yeah?

(He posts a request for a baby cradle.)

Kara: Smooth. You realize you’ve got less than thirty seconds before your Dad...

Intercom: Captain Thrace and Mr. Adama, report to CIC. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill.

With a note to let her know that the whip could be ordered with either, or both.;)

Hahaha...i imagine it something like in that Budweiser commercial when the bride turns her back and the groom zaps on budweiser a hundred times. I could see Kara doing that with Ambrosia and Lee going "what the hell Kara?"

that's hilarious...you CLEARLY have too much time on your hands (which seems impossible for as much shit as you're involved in)

Huh. I'm still back on Lee with a crop from the other day. But he wouldn't look anywhere near as good in a corset.

OH my lords, those manips are amazing :D

Uh.
Canopy bed.
A Jenga set.

Where's Bee with her room painting skills? Kara & Lee need a decorator. Wait, they like to paint with red (AoC), and Kara can do the art.

My dear, where do you get the time, the creativity, the ideas? I feel like Peggy in Mad Men. I gave you a "kernel" of an idea, and you like Don turned it into a clio winning GloCoat commercial.

Bravo!

Nah - I don't have too much time. I just steal everyone else's time. That's my superpower.
