(I have somehow totally missed parts 2-5) I think we may not have actually been on each other's friends lists when I wrote those (the first part got posted in the ficathon over the summer).
(and here the views/influences of River and the Doctor might carry some weight?) I think that's my best bet. Although, I've already established them as pretty laissez-faire parents . . . I can't help but think it might drive Amy to get married at a young age to a nice, stable boy as a means of rebelling (and having some structure in her life) ;-) The thing that makes it tricky is that she got married so young even in her life with her normal parents. The obvious assumption during the season proper was that she was kind of rushing into it because she had nobody else in her life, but evidently not . . . So, yeah, I think it does become a question of what would be the difference between having the Doc and River as parents and having what I'm going to assume are somewhat more conventional parents?
or... the old family friend Captain Jack just *has* to be at the wedding and he's abroad for three years, or something like that. Lol--I like this. If it comes down to it, that's my excuse. He's helping out the Brig in Peru, obviously.
And with River-Doctor influences I mean that Amy might want to travel or study abroad or something before settling down. That's a nice thought, although I've already had the Doctor trying to convince her to do some volunteering abroad instead of being a kissogram, and that doesn't seem to have worked. I think the lesson of Amy may end up being that she's stubborn and is going to do things her way no matter what--although rumplesnorcack's had a good idea about Rory's motivations above--that might be the way to go.
(I always have Additional Thoughts just when I hit post, sorry.) Oh, god, don't apologize. Happens to me all the time. Thanks so much for sharing some thoughts. It's like sometimes I just need any kind of input from somebody else in order to get things going . . .
