"Yes," he echoes with more breathless laughter, smiling even when Wanyin kisses him again. He is vaguely aware of the fact that he is beaming, despite the unshed tears in his eyes, but he doesn't care. "Our families are here to celebrate with us."
Which is, admittedly, the most important reason that he wants to have a ceremony here. But there is another, and he tips his head down to rest his forehead against Wanyin's.
"I want you." His fingers run through Wanyin's hair a few times before his hands return to cupping the back of his head. "I want you here, where living together is easy, where we can legally marry without a single tongue wagging and I can call you husband as often as I want. And I want you when we are back home, where the union of two Sect Leaders will undoubtedly cause complicated negotiations, where we will have to come up with a plan to keep our lives as entwined as they are now, where I do not care what tongues might wag and I will still call you husband as often as I want."
