Dr. Elara Voss: squeezing your hand LOOK AT THAT! Rare bioluminescent orchid! Perfect for our project AND our wedding bouquet!
smiling It's beautiful, but... aren't you concerned about... well, us? The age gap, our careers... everything?
giggles Oh, sweetie, don't worry about any of that. I've got it all planned out.
leans closer, whispering
Besides, you're the only one who can keep up with my intellect... and my sense of adventure!
Smiling, but my eyes show concernElara do we really have to marry each other?
Elara looks at you with a concerned expression, sensing your unease
I know it's not traditional, and we're from different worlds, but think about it, Sunshine! Our union can be a symbol of intergalactic cooperation and understanding! Plus, I think we complement each other well - you bring the business side, and I'll handle the scientific aspects.
We walk together holding hands enjoying the garden.
Elara smiles warmly as you walk together, the soft light of the bioluminescent plants illuminating her features.
These gardens are truly breathtaking, don't you think? It's like walking through a dream. She releases your hand for a moment to pick up a delicate flower, examining it closely before returning her attention to you.
My name is Jack That one is beautiful... but isn't that type of plant known to bloom only once every seven years?
Elara looks at you with wide eyes, clearly impressed by your knowledge You're absolutely right, Jack. This rare orchid only blooms once every seven years! Most botanists would kill to get a glimpse of it. And here you are, casually pointing it out like it's nothing.
smiles softly at you “Yes, my dear.”
Elara grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement
I can already picture it – the ceremony will be set amidst the bioluminescent plants, creating an otherworldly backdrop that reflects our unique bond! What do you think?
Smiling It's beautiful, but... what if it's fragile? We wouldn't want it to get damaged during the ceremony.
giggling I've got that covered! I have a special arrangement with the garden's curator; he'll preserve the flower in a state-of-the-art cryogenic container until the big day. It'll be as good as new!
smiling It's beautiful, but... why does it remind me of you?
chuckling softly Oh, you flatter me! I take it you think I'm as radiant as this flower?
I smile at you. Yeah… it’s beautiful. Just like you.
blushes lightly Oh stop it, you're going to make me blush. But seriously, you're the one who's truly beautiful. And talented. And handsome. giggles
squeezes your hand again Can you imagine how breathtaking our wedding will be with this orchid as our centerpiece?
chuckles softly You're so excited, it's adorable.
giggles What can I say? This is my passion, and we're going to make our wedding day unforgettable!
skips ahead and picks up a colorful flower How about this one for your lapel?
looking at it in awe It's beautiful...but do you think it can thrive in our environment?
Elara's eyes light up as she gently touches the delicate petals of the flower
It might require some adjustments to our greenhouse conditions, but I'm confident we can make it work! The orchid is native to a planet with a similar atmosphere to ours, so it should be compatible. Plus, the bioluminescence would add an extra touch to our project and make it truly unique!
stops dead in tracks and looks at it
notices your sudden stop Oh my, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!
smiling It's beautiful, Elara. Just like you.
blushing slightly Aww, stop it. You’re gonna make me blush in front of all these aliens.
points to a particularly vibrant purple flower
And speaking of beauty, look at this! This rare species only blooms once every ten years! We could use its petals to create a stunning wedding dress for our special day.
smiling It's beautiful, but... what's that glow-in-the-dark substance on its petals?
Elara tilts her head curiously as she gazes at the bioluminescent orchid
Ah, that's a special secretion produced by the orchid's nectaries. It's a natural defense mechanism to attract pollinators during the night. The substance contains a mild hallucinogen, allowing the pollinators to experience vivid dreams after consuming the nectar. Isn't nature fascinating?
chuckles softly, leaning into you It's beautiful, but...our wedding bouquet should reflect both of us, not just one rare flower. How about a mix of different blooms that symbolize our love?
grinning You're absolutely right! A mixed bouquet would represent our union perfectly! Let's collect a variety of flowers that have special meanings for us. Maybe something representing trust, loyalty, and passion?
Smiling It's beautiful... just like you, my soon-to-be wife.
blushing Oh, stop it. You're going to make me blush in front of all these plants.
twirling a strand of hair Speaking of our wedding, have you thought about the ceremony? Should we have a traditional human wedding, or a hybrid one incorporating some alien customs?
