Well, everyone here seems to be gearing up for the big day. Have you all bought your hats?  :)

I really like the idea of Ennis and Ellery making a commitment. I’m not sure if I can picture them doing the whole matching tuxedo thing – especially Ennis. Can’t he stay in his jim-jams?  ;D

I like the personal, private exchange of rings that they did at home.

On another note, poor Jeeves/Howard. Just like the rest of the world, wanting someone to care for and to care for him. I think that he and Dupree will get back on good terms. Whether it will lead to any kind of intimacy or a relationship between them, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Now that Dupree’s had his sexual awakening with Nick, his outlook may have changed.

We need to remember that Nick is only in town on leave, so it's inevitable that Dupree is soon going to be unattached and looking for a new partner. Unless, of course, he decides to become a stowaway on Nick's ship.......

I gave him what I hoped was that hopeful innocent puppy look that said “don’t you just want ta rub my tummy” rather than that hungry, ravenous wolf look that said “why don’t you just come out a that brick house so I can eat you up little pig?” LVH: 'What I did on my Day Off'

or maybe he'll follow him back to Whidbey Island and live on a shack on the beach, pining for his man...

oh wait.  I'm getting ahead of myself.  I do love Whidbey though.

This is very true - though wasn't Nick saying that he was deciding whether or not to sign up for another stretch.

If he stays in Laramie maybe he and Jeeves can duel for Dupree's affections. Pistols at dawn or something.

Well,  Nick did say that he doesn't get opportunities at sea to meet guys, so perhaps he can offer Jeremy a long distance romance?

Something tells me that Dupree could stay loyal to him as well.   Kinda like Ennis being faithful to Jack all those years.   Dupree certainly could wait for Nicks next leave.

Exactly!  It is possible!! 
And yeah, I agree, Dupree has the makings of a one-man man .. 
Anyway, that's all my speculatin for the day .. I'll let Louise surprise me in "Dupree's Choice" ..  8)

Care to give us a clue Leslie?   8)  Does each letter stand for a word or ..?



Sound it out, and think of a Billy Joel song...

Two hints, that's all for now!
