Flan being Flan, she might see the incongruity in it and invent a new wedding role for herself. Sergeant-at-arms, for example. Every wedding should have a sergeant-at-arms. :)

I confess to being mildly tickled that in this instance, the maid of honor is an actual maid of actual honor. :)

Also, I've had a couple of realizations about this whole amusing image as the subthread has unfolded, to wit, in no particular order:

- In-setting, our closest equivalents to Blofeld and Klebb are Reichenberg and Skorzeny. Which, in my opinion, makes every potential outcome variation even more satisfying, because really, I mean, who doesn't want to see Otto Skorzeny get his just desserts in this or any other life from a tiny blonde whose Name is a killing word who can bend steel in her bare hands?

- One of the most satisfying peripheral images from the whole business is what becomes of the groom, since, unlike Bond, Gryphon doesn't have to spend the rest of the scene crumpled in a despairing heap over the body of his fallen lady love. All he has to do is stand well back and watch her work with the kind of smile that says, Yep. I am winning at life right now. :)

- The vampires have a speed advantage, but they're going to need it if they hope to get to the prize ahead of Gryphon's best witch. Colonel Sakamoto don't take no shit from no Nazis at her boy's wedding.

And if they somehow survive all of that, they have to get past the ringbeagle.
