john watson + mary morstan
Stop smiling.
It’s my wedding day!
Things I love about this bit:
1) Mary knows what they both need. Sherlock is terrified, both of the wedding itself and his role in it and of losing John and their relationship irrevocably changing. He needs to be reassured that John is still his best friend, and they’re still gonna go on cases and have adventures and do fun stuff cuz they’re best friends. John needs that too, and he needs time away from the wedding and the lady to have some stupid fun with his best friend. They are stupid boys and she knows it and she loves them both for it.
2) John and Sherlock, in addition to (separately and “”“sneakily”“”) wanting to take care of each other, both really want to please Mary. They want to make her happy and make their changing relationship work and they’re all COOPERATING and I mean christ, look at Sherlock’s face and the thumbs up, they are all in such cahoots they are so dumb.
3) With the way this shot is framed, it looks like Mary has bison horns which makes me giggle.
"In short the two people who love you most in all this world."
You can see the very moment John registers that Sherlock just told him that he loved him.
those are tears in his eyes
bye
We will never let you down, and we have a life time ahead to prove that.
