"Jane." Garrus walked over to where she was sitting and put down a bottle of wine on the table beside her. "Yes?" She said as she put down her book on the table. "Do you want to start with preparations for our wedding?" He sat down and held her hand , "Garrus, Liara said she will help us work on it." Jane smiled, Garrus did as well but it was hard to tell.

"Then we should contact her and tell her what we want." He made a slight groan but it quickly turned into silence.

"Yeah we should. Okay, you start on what you want." Garrus hesitated, not knowing what to say. "Uh...we should have at least enough food for the crew, Blue ceremonial robes I suppose, and um..."

"And?" She gave him narrow eyes as she began to pick up her book and open it up.

"Well, I would want you to join the Vakarian family, though they probably won't allow an outsider to join, they usually never do. Though it is an option." His eyes met with hers. "Garrus, if that is what you want, then we should do it." Jane knew that he was always there, whenever she needed it, now it was her turn to repay her debt to him. "Are you sure Jane? I mean it isn't something that one takes lightly." His jaw opened and closed repeatedly, as if trying to say something.

"If you want this to happen Garrus, then lets just do it, I mean that." She kissed him lightly on his mandible while he was still trying to find words to say. "Well than, I'll contact my father tomorrow and we will go from there."


"Garrus, that is rather a large request." Garrus' father had a stern look, as if he was more annoyed than angry. "Dad, I know it is, but I truly want this. Most of the elders would agree that she has proven herself, and she does come from a military."

"Listen, wanting to marry an outsider is almost not even acceptable by most families, but trying to convince the family about one joining? As I said, that is much easier said than done." Garrus' head dropped down when his father said that.

"You know how the younger generations are though, they really don't give a damn. It is mostly just the elder's and your generations that hate outsiders joining."

His father just stared at him, not saying anything. "I will see what I can do, but don't get your hopes up just yet. I'll talk with my brother and his family first, then I'll talk with the others."

"Thanks dad."

"I suppose its the least I can do." He saluted his son as he turned off the contact.


Garrus was messaging Liara over the next couple of days, waiting for his father to respond.

Garrus, I'll be glad to help with supplies if you do have it on Palaven, just as I told Shepard.

Thanks Liara.

Beep. Garrus looked over at his comlink, hoping it was his father. He walked over to it and turned it on, revealing the elder turian. "Garrus, I have some good news for you, but there is also some bad news." Garrus sighed a little as his father continued.

"Seeing as she has a high military rank, and a very good link with the council, they have agreed to let her be voted into the family however, they can also vote against her from joining, so it means she will have to get to know the entire family before she can be accepted into the vote."

"Really? Wow I never thought they would accept a human to be voted, guess her stopping the Reapers did help." He looked at his father, completely shocked that they are willing to have her voted in. "Contact whoever it is you need to for this. I'll return a message in the next few days for when you can bring her to Palaven."

Garrus quickly shut it off after they saluted to each other and went to pick up the message pad.

Liara, we will be doing a vote on Palaven for her, bring food for all the guests, we will send you the list tonight.

On it, Would you like me to find something for her? Like a dress or something?

Yeah.

Very well, already getting started on that stuff now.


"So they have votes?" Garrus and Jane were having a deep discussion on turian customs. "Its kind of a do it to make sure the person joining will accept all responsibility's given to them. Us turians have a very strict rule when it comes to fulfilling our duties, we also go by citizenship tiers, though I have no idea what mine is. The voting consists of at least three groups, the elders are in one group, all the younger family members are in one as well, and my dad's age range turians are in the third."

"I see." Jane had no idea what she was getting into, seeing as she will have to convince at least half of the family to approve, it may be far harder than she thought. "Liara is going to help us, now what we will have to do is give her a list of supplies and names for it."

"Right. I'll get a list of guests started while you work on the supplies."


Liara, I have a list of guests ready, Garrus is almost done with the supplies.

Alright, send me the list, I'll contact all the people you have on it.
