Amy and Evan Get Married

October 1st 2016 701 Whaley in Columbia, SC

Origins Above. When Amy met Evan, sparks flew. More than sparks. Everything was on fire. Their dropship had been hit by enemy plasma rounds and was crashing on some distant, unpronounceable rock. “Keep both eyes open,” she said. “Remember your training, and you will come back alive.” Evan looked up, his blast helmet almost obscuring her from his vision. Almost. Then with a jolt, the dropship hit soil. The doors flew open. “Run,” Amy said. He did.

Origins Below. Out on the high seas, her ship attacked his skiff, and Captain Amelia never takes prisoners. When his time came, Evan said, “Please. Please, I need to live.” It was the “please” that caught Amy’s attention. Soon thereafter, they took to roaming the ocean together, searching for treasure, adventure, and whatever strange beasts the depths could throw at them.

The Public Version of Events. If you prefer the documentary version, Evan met Amy in 2005. She was his TA and showed him how to use production lights and a Bolex. Their bond formed while sitting in a hallway discussing Ben Burtt. After many years of friendship they reunited in NYC for the 2012 New Year. They spoke the same language and already understood each other's private jokes and references. He made her laugh. Evan asked Amy to stay longer. She did.

The Here and the Now. In her youth, Amy declared she would never leave the Northeast. Then she moved down South for a boy. Evan once declared he has not invincible, but never vulnerable. But when they adopted Booker, the tiny dog-friend finished what Amy started in reprogramming Evan’s robot heart. Amy and Evan live in Columbia, SC. They work at the university and love their jobs. Evan proposed to Amy by the sea in 2014. Booker seems pleased with the arrangement.
