Marie loves both of his little brothers equally. Marie spoils Allen extra because he knows Miranda loves to see Allen happy.
In one of the Vol. Talk Corners Allen says that Marie is his big brother because he has the best shoulders for riding. If you don’t think that that is the cutest thing then I don’t know. I also love that all the other characters were expecting Allen to pick Lavi as his big bro.
Since Mana told Allen to keep walking and Nea told mana to keep walking then how much do you wanna bet past Allen was the one who said it to Nea and we’ve gone full circle with Allen giving himself life advise?
It’s a few months after the Holy War ends, and the injuries haven’t even cleared up yet – Miranda’s wrist is wrapped, Marie’s ribs are bound, Lenalee is in a leg cast, Kanda’s shoulder is bandaged for no readily discernible reason – but everyone is smiling. It’s a relatively small service, with just the exorcists and a few members of the Science Department and other support staff they’re close to, like Head Nurse and Toma.
Tiedoll picked out Marie’s suit; it’s comfortable and flattering and easy to move in. Johnny made it, and he designed Miranda’s dress himself – it’s long and flowing, but tailored so she won’t trip over it and beaded with green and black and silver. The first time Miranda puts it on, she cries and hugs Johnny as tightly as she can.
Kanda is Marie’s best man. He only argued about it a little bit, even, but the speech he growls about, grumbles over, and practices with Allen about a dozen times before he’s sure it’s good enough.
Lenalee is the maid of honor. She was surprised but delighted, and one of the first to hear that it was taking place at all – one of the first to offer her congratulations, as well. She talks to Emilia and to Reever and to Komui about what she’s supposed to do, and outlines her speech but mostly speaks from her heart.
Timothy is the ring-bearer. He asks about a dozen questions of both of them before they’ve even gotten around to telling him that part, and he’s delighted but, of course, he gets bored easily. Still, he does his best to stay still and pay attention, and he mostly succeeds.
Link officiates. He picked up how to do so somewhere along the way, but he’s never even attended a wedding before; this is his first, too. Still, he reads everything he can and memorizes it all, and does his part without a hitch.
Komui walks Miranda down the aisle. Tiedoll offered, but Komui insisted that it was improper, since Miranda was being ‘passed’ to his family anyway. Miranda agreed to have Komui do it, and would, if asked, shyly admit to liking the implications.
Tiedoll cries through almost the entire ceremony, but when Miranda and Marie kiss, almost everyone is laughing, euphoria and relief and happiness all manifesting in this one, iconic moment, because if there’s one thing this means for all of them, it’s this:
