    Wait, wait, I just now realized: does this mean that Wade finally learns Nate's middle name? Please tell me those two spent a good ten minutes playing keep-away as Wade tried to read Nate's full name on the marriage license, and when Nate finally gave in he told Wade that was the only wedding present he was getting (it totally wasn't the only present). I mean I'm sure Wade will still call him by myriad random middle names and save the real one for special occasions (like in bed)............ okay, I may be a bit overinvested in this headcanon now, but they are just the dorks to do it. ^,^

      Here is the truth: originally, I planned on writing the ceremony, which included Nate using his middle name. Like, them needing to repeat their names early on in the ceremony, and Nate just dropping his middle name in there and watching Wade's face. And although I decided against writing the ceremony, I think that's still what happened--and that Wade couldn't remember his own name because he was so elated to know Nate's middle name.

      But all that said, Wade won't want the world to know that he now knows. Which means that Nate will always be Nate Open-Faced Turkey Sandwich Summers. (And Nate will always love him for it, so.)

        Ha, yeah, I think it works better this way, leaving some things to the imagination. XD (wonder how often Wade inserts 'Wilson' as Nate's middle name now, just because he can.....) ^,^
