Them slipping through the back door and becoming the married X-couple instead of the highly publicized Kitty and Colossus, I think is hitting the right note. For a Romy fan anyway. I'm just hoping everything continues going in the right direction in Mr and Mrs X.
It's true that they could be pretty spontaneous in the past. But it's funny how Rogue became selectively spontaneous after years of dithering now that there is an editorial mandate that they get married.
Maybe it's just me. But I have never seen Rogue and Gambit as the big-lavish-wedding-in-front-of-the-Xmen-type of couple. They always struck me as that couple that would live together a la Claremont's X-treme for years and be perfectly happy with that until they suddenly decided to get hitched in Vegas or something. Just simple and low-key. I guess the white wedding just seems too. . . traditional (?) to me. I am sorry if I offend some by saying this, but KT's writing has always felt a bit like fanfic to me. And I feel like that part was a bit too. . . fanfic-y. I can definitely see her influence in that.
And I don't personally believe there is ever an excuse for deus ex machina - fantasy world or not - unless you are intentionally using it to be funny. Which they clearly aren't.
I'm happy that y'all are happy. But I'm just not. And I respect all of your opinions.
