I've always thought that the Chief regards Mer as his daughter. She hates it sometimes, but I think it would be great if she embraced it. He has been far more fatherly to her than Thatcher, even when they were trying to make things right.

I just hope that this grown-up Mer we've been watching will realize that. It would be beautiful if he gave her away.

ETA: Wait, is Thatcher still alive? He is, isn't he? I'm sure he'll be invited... having the Chief walk Mer down the aisle would be really awkward then...
