"Are you telling me or asking for my permission?" Cedric asked as he took a sip of his drink.
"Both." Ray said proudly.
"Why are you asking for my permission? The only person who's permission you need is my sister." Cedric told Ray as a smile slowly crept up his face. Of course Ray didn't need to ask him for his permission. As long as they weren't too loud about registering their marriage it wouldn't attract their enemies' attention. That was what Cedric was protecting them against anyway, that the people that wished them harm wouldn't get the chance to hurt them again.
"Thank God you agreed." Ray said as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not my place to dictate my sister's private life. I already told both of you why we needed to postpone your wedding, since you found a work around it's perfect." Cedric said with a shrug. "Congratulations Ray." He said as he raised his glass.
He and Ray clinked glasses as Ray gave Cedric his thanks.
