Battle Ground spoilers: Harry’s pairing. What do you think?

[Arjan]

tell me something I don't know? The Sidhe are not pagan... They're Celtic iirc. customs and rules WILL be upheld, so says the Mab.

Sure but who's customs and rules? Harry and Lara are not christian either.

And doing everything immediately is not exactly according to rules and customs either. Expect a few surprises about the exact nature of this wedding.

Not according to Christian customs anyway so that points to other customs.

that's a nice theory.

[Arjan]

Though maybe Mab owns a company like this. https://www.instantmarriagela.com/

That is only a civil ceremony so not strictly speaking a Christian wedding.

Mab is a lawyer and a Queen.  All she has to do is say do you, you do my Knight,  you are now man and wife

[Avernite]

Well we know the kiss seals the deal, all the rest is just fluff and theatre.

A burning kiss.

[Regenbogen]

A burning kiss.

Nice. She just has to put on moisturizing lipgloss.

Harry will be Thomas's brother twice over, half brother through Margaret and brother-in-law through marriage.  Bob will give Harry so much grief.

Bob will give Harry so much grief.

Oh, man ... I was just thinking of Sanya giving him crap. I hadn't thought about how Bob is going to react!

[TrueMonk]

I think if Mab wants Harry and Lara to get a kid I cannot see how they will not get one in the very first try.

It is a pretty smart move from Mab. If there is one thing that seems entirely certain it is that Harry protects his children and that he does not want them to grow up orphans (if he can avoid it). After feeling so bad about killing Maggies mother there is no way he will ever let anything happen to Lara. The way his guilt trips works anything that happened to her would be something that he should have thought about protecting her from.

Also, now that the masquerade is starting to fall, I can see why Mab wants to have a strong alliance with the most competent manipulators of humankind.

You assume a Christian wedding.

I've never been to a wedding with that line.

How is the non-Christian Celtic belief system not pagan? Pagan: "a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions."

and whose to say what the main world religions are exactly? That definition is derogatory, a catch all terminology invented by judeo-christian stereotyping. By definition it's basically saying your pagan are f your gods are minor, unimportant, ect.  And we could basically use it to cover Egyptian, greek, roman, ect. All of which have their own specific identity. So does Celtic tradition.

So your point isn't that the term pagan is incorrect, but that it's offensive?

The term pagan was invented by Christians to describe non-Christians. It was used in a derogatory manner. Pagan means basically the same thing as peasant, hick, villain, etc. At some point it came to mean "not monotheistic," but retains many of the other meanings.
