ROSE: ... Have we never discussed this?
KANAYA: No
KANAYA: Well
KANAYA: I Have Seen The Trope Many Times
KANAYA: In Human Romance Books
KANAYA: But I Cannot Be Certain That I Know Enough To Participate
KANAYA: At Least Not To An Extent That You May Find Adequate
KANAYA: It Is Alien To Me
KANAYA: As If I Was Asked To Participate In The Great Squiddle Revue
ROSE: I would not worry about this.
KANAYA: I Know As Well As You This Is Not A Thing I Am Capable Of
ROSE: Hm.
ROSE: We'll have time to prepare, and we can walk through it on our own, if you'd like.
ROSE: We can work out the kinks, the stops in the flow.
ROSE: Really... figure it out for ourselves.
ROSE: ...
ROSE: It's all sinking in. 
ROSE: I've just proposed to you.
KANAYA: Are You Also Not Prepared
ROSE: Absolutely not.
KANAYA: I Should Have Expected This
ROSE: Do you want to call this off? I mean -
KANAYA: I Have Already Said Yes
KANAYA: And I Have Meant It
KANAYA: I Think It May Be Nice
KANAYA: It Would Be Nice To Have The Many Temporal Shenanigans We Have Been Subject To Wrapped Up With A Ceremony Of Sorts
KANAYA: A Human "Party"
ROSE: You understand, then.
KANAYA: I Do
ROSE: I wanted so badly to wait for the right moment, elusive though that may be.
ROSE: I thought I'd know it when I saw it. 
KANAYA: What Did You Have In Mind
ROSE: I don't know, something more romantic than *this*, certainly.
ROSE: But... 
ROSE: She spent her whole life waiting for it, and it never arrived. 
KANAYA: . . . 
ROSE: ...
ROSE: So... here I am. 
ROSE: Covered in the lint of a dead catgirl, exhausted after sleeping on a stone patio still damp from rain, and spilling your morning brew of... whatever was in that mug.
ROSE: Consider this starting as I mean to go on... and stop me if I begin to ramble.
KANAYA: I Would Never
ROSE: Besides...
ROSE: Everyone loves an adventure that ends with a lesbian wedding.
KANAYA: Do They
ROSE: I hope so.
ROSE: Perhaps it's also improper of me to say "ends" - after all, are we not just beginning?
ROSE: A celebration before the beginning, after the end.
ROSE: The best foot forward for a new world.
KANAYA: How Would You Like To Start Preparing
ROSE: ... I'm not sure.
ROSE: Truth be told, I didn't expect to get this far...
KANAYA: Did You Think I Would Say No
ROSE: ... I'm not sure.
ROSE: There are many reasons you would.
ROSE: That I've decided to spring this into motion without any preparation is certainly one of them. 
ROSE: I don't care to think about them, though.
ROSE: More realistically...
ROSE: I was worried about dying.
