Would Andrew and Neil or Nicky and Erik have a wedding? If so, who would do what? (I.e. be late, plan it, be the most nervous, cry, etc.)

Andrew and Neil will never marry, but Nicky & Erik will definitely have a wedding ceremony down the road! It's years after anyone expected it to happen–Nicky's been waiting to marry Erik since high school, pretty much, so the Foxes assume he's going to pop the question as soon as he makes it back to Germany. But Nicky takes time to readjust to life with Erik, to the home they're making together, and to his new career. They get engaged after a few months together, but it's a long engagement.

Renee has the hardest time making it to his wedding due to Patrick's medical issues. Nicky and Erik plan it out together, with Nicky taking on the more intricate details, but honestly there's not a lot left for them to sort out at this point. Nicky's seen his teammates' weddings and he's taken notes and done his research. He knows what he wants and Erik wants whatever makes Nicky happy

Nicky jokes that the theme is going to be orange and white, but it's a classy white & black affair with green highlights, because green is Erik's favorite color. ((Nicky wears white, because he says it complements his darker skin better. Aaron calls Nicky the wife exactly once and gets a thump for it))

((Dan did have an orange and white ceremony, by the way. Everyone who participated wore white, including the groom & his men, and all of the highlights–roses, corsages, ties, place settings, etc–were Fox orange. Matt approved 1000%.))

The Foxes fully expect Nicky to be the emotional one when the big day comes, but he's too busy being a nervous wreck that all these years of planning will have a hiccup at the last second and it won't be the perfect affair he wants it to be. It's Erik who tears up on the altar when they finally exchange vows. Nicky doesn't cry until much later. He'll never admit that part of that release is fueled by grief, that his parents refuse to be a part of this moment of his life, because he knows none of the Foxes will want to talk about Luther.

They spend a day in town with all of their guests, and then embark on a two-week cruise as a honeymoon. Before he leaves Nicky gives Neil a garter "just in case" Neil needs an extra push to do what must be done and propose to Andrew.

((Neil decides not to ask why Nicky bought a garter because Andrew uses it to tie Neil's wrists to the headboard at their hotel that night))
