Wedding Bells

(Squeeeeeee and thanks to 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?

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...

I AM SOOOOO GRINNING RIGHT NOW! HAHAHAHAH! I love it. Well done!

Thanks! I totally see this happening. :>)

LOVE it!! Your Lee is especially awesome. He is very smart when it comes to his Kara and knows that he must bargain in order to obtain necessities like a clean kitchen!! (Hopefully, for Lee's sake, Helo never told him about Kara's kitchen back on Caprica.) ;)

Also love the photo manips, bb!

Thanks! *grins* What a great way to waste time this afternoon. LOL

You're so funny!
Typical Lee... always trying to compromise. ;D

LOVE this and love that you have accompanying pictures. You win!

I aim to please. *grins*

This is so cute! And I love that Kara and Lee's grandma have the same taste :) I don't watch Caprica, but in my mind it would take quite a woman to contend with Joseph Adama :) Flea markets FTW!

And I must add to the praise for those pictures, they are hands down the best photo insertions I've ever seen, especially that second one. It's mesmerizing :)

*hugs* Thanks so much Rachel. I LOVE that second one too... Just so them. :)
