Do you have any head-canon about traditional Barrayaran wedding ceremonies not mentioned in any of your books that you would be willing to share? My partner and I both really love the Vorkosigan series, and are thinking about including a reference to it in our own wedding ceremony!
Lois McMaster Bujold
No, not really. The books have shown a pretty good range of them, from the least formal (Ivan) to the most (Gregor.) I don't especially recommend either end for emulation...
You should please, first of all, yourselves, then family & guests q.s. (Q.s. is a Latin abbreviation used in pharmacy meaning "as much as is sufficient; enough."
Good luck!

Thank you for answering all these questions! I especially appreciate that, as a reader, I can't tell that you "build [the story] backwards, starting with the characters and their story and building the world around them". Question time! Re-read Mirror Dance; what theory of mind did you draw from to describe Mark?

I had a brief moment of panic when I saw an "outline" of the plot for gentleman Jole on wikipedia because there was a whole menage a trois storyline which feels so wrong for Aral and Cordelia. Then I saw someone had fixed it to directly quote you. I feel like the answer is yes, but were Cordelia and Aral monagamous throughout thier relationship?
