I quite like the idea of the marriage occuring in an "interlude" sort of period. Would be kind of like giving them "breathing room" for a few months to get back into the swing of things and get a bit more experienced so they're ready to help tackle the new threat c:

I really like the fleshed out idea O_O it sounds wicked awesome haha Quesh sounds awesome too, perhaps we can work Quesh into it somehow? I'll do some research over the weekend and see if I get any brainfarts haha 

Having a new alien race to introduce would also be super awesome, but veeerryyy intensive in terms of what we'd have to flesh out in lore and such o.o We could give it a try I guess and we could always scrap it later if it doesn't go so well? XD
