FJHFH IM SO GLAD U ASKED okay so i know nora said that they don’t but i think she’s Wrong and let me tell u why,

• nora says andrew and neil don’t believe in love and i can understand andrew holding on to that mentality for a long time but neil?
• at the start of the books neil said “i don’t believe in family” and by the end of the second book – not the third, the SECOND book – neil calls the foxes his family
• and that’s because his perception of family changes in front of his very eyes
• now imagine that lifetime we know he spends with andrew and how his perception of love would change in front of his eyes in the same way
• neil realises that love can be whatever he wants it to be, which in his case is the keys, the trust, the honesty and the kisses all that jazz
• love is andrew joseph minyard
• now on to the actual point of Getting Married
• rmr how fuckin ready neil was in tkm to have his name become official and irrefutable??
• the details of his relationship with andrew may be private, but they don’t hide the fact that they have one – it’s a real and tanigble thing they’ve never been ashamed of
• i truly don’t think neil would be opposed to the idea because it’s something to say that they are officially a unit, just like those papers he signed in baltimore say that neil josten is a real person
• andrew would see the perks too, mainly tax benefits he can use to fuel his luxury car addiction and being able to see neil in hospital with no setbacks
• also if it ever came to it, andrew would be the one to ask
• fight me
• it would be a throwaway suggestion he’d make over breakfast and they’d be married before dinner
• matt literally gets on a two-hour flight just to be witness 
• andrew wanted kevin because he’d make the least fuss, but neil insisted he owed matt for him having neil as the best man at his and dan’s wedding
• matt arrives at the courthouse in a smart albeit rumpled suit and his hair is surprisingly nice considering he ran all the way over since the taxi wasn’t getting him there fast enough
• meanwhile andrew and neil are literally just wearing sweats 
• neil has his team jersey tied around his waist bc andrew said he couldn’t actually wear it for the ceremony, so they compromised
• they keep the certificate in their bedside drawer and don’t really talk about it again 
• but if neil slips up every so often and refers to andrew as his husband well then,
