Sort of Actually Written Band... Het: Four or Five Times Frank and Jamia Didn't Get Married.
...And one time they did.
This was topical when I wrote it in email (as "something I want to write" although looking at it now it seems kind of ... written) a year and a half ago--in fact I think there must be some sort of factual basis for the precise date of #3 but I no longer remember what it was, did somebody find a marriage license?--and then I forgot it existed until just now, trying to dig up a piece of the Bob-gets-knocked-up story that I know I wrote down somewhere.
So! I'm just going to post this.
Four or Five Times Frank and Jamia Didn't Get Married and One Time They Did
1. On the set of the Ghost of You video, Frank put on the wedding ring as a costume/prop thing, joking with Jamia about it. She rolled her eyes and laughed and then stood on the beach and watched their boat take on water, watched him almost drown right there in front of her - half a mile away on the gray Pacific ocean - and she wished she had a ring on herself right then, wished she'd put that ring on his finger for him, wished a lot of stupid things. And of course he was fine, they all were - but that night at the hotel, after sex just a little too frantic to be done-with-video-shoot celebratory, she whispers, "We oughta get married for real someday," and Frank says, "You asking?" and she says, "I'm telling. You do the asking when you've got a ring for me."
2. March 2006, Mulholland Drive. Frank proposes. They're in the middle of the mindfuck clusterfuck disaster of the early recording of Black Parade, and Frank is feeling a little bit desperate and crazed about everything, and he can't even get them into a goddamn park so he can propose all nice; he winds up doing it on the side of the road because he can't wait and try again tomorrow and get it right, can't come back down from this place without that ring on her finger, without her promising. And when she says yes, Frank says, "Let's go right now, let's just--let's go get married right now." And she laughs and says the park's not even open, neither is the justice of the peace, and Frank says, tomorrow then, come on, please, and she gives him a hug and a kiss and says, "How about tomorrow we call our moms, and tell them we want to plan an engagement party, and sometime after that we can actually get married. Okay?" And Frank holds on, holds her hand with the diamond hard against his palm, and lets himself be talked down.
3. February 5, 2007, Vegas. Gerard gets a phone call - it's Frank, at a wedding chapel in Vegas, and "get the rest of the guys, okay? I'm gonna put you all on speaker, it'll be just like you're here with us! And don't say anything rude, J's getting her mom and my mom on her phone and they're on speaker too, they can probably hear you." And Gerard and the rest of the band ferociously veto this whole move--they love Jamia, they want her and Frank to get married, it's just that THIS DOES NOT COUNT. HE IS NOT MARRIED IN THE EYES OF HIS BAND (OR ANYBODY'S MOM). THEY ARE EXERCISING THEIR VETO.
And Jamia is all "You guys, I'm sorry, he wanted to drive to Jersey. I had to talk him down to Vegas! He's losing his shit! You have to come home before he gets me pregnant, okay?"
And Ray is all "Frank! NO BABIES OUT OF WEDLOCK. YOU ARE NOT MARRIED."
And Bob is all, "You better call Brian, though, you're gonna have like a million pieces of paperwork to fill out."
And Gerard is all, "The point is, YOU DO NOT GET PRESENTS FOR THIS."
And Frank says, "But I get presents for almost dying of wisdom teeth, right? You guys went to New Zealand without me, I have to get presents."
And Mikey's all, "Well, obviously you get presents for almost dying and not getting to go to New Zealand. Jamia, do you want anything special? While we've got you on the phone?"
And Jamia makes a couple requests and then says, "What about you, anything special from Vegas?"
And in a chorus that possibly includes the moms on the other phone, "PICTURES!"
4 and/or 5. Mikey and/or Gerard's wedding - Frank is all "We could make it a double! Everybody's here this time! We could call our moms and have them come!" and Jamia is all "FOR GOD'S SAKE, I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE QUICKIE WEDDING, NO." Because she is holding out for a DRESS and FLOWERS and NICE THINGS.
1. Waking up on March 10, 2008, married for real this time without anyone vetoing it, and they're in bed at their house with the dogs hogging bed space and/or whining to be fed or taken out, and they're hoping that maybe TODAY is the day that the asshole tile guys come and finish the damn kitchen so they can be done with the remodel and go somewhere warm with a beach for a bit before the tour starts up again, and they're... married. Yeah. And it's good.
