Author's Notes: This is all merfilly's fault. She gave me this idea over a year ago. And now, here it is. FINALLY. This story has NOTHING to do with my other Beverly/Deanna AU. So consider this a separate one, okay? And yes, I might add more to this AU. I don't know yet…

All dialogue in ~ italics ~ is telepathic/mental speech.

Research Notes: The title comes from the Scots Gaelic for "My heart belongs to you" and was found here. The ring I found the Scot Clans site. Most of my knowledge of Betazoid wedding ceremonies wasn't used, but was from the series and the book Imzadi by Peter David. But I also skimmed the following sites for info :: Betazoid wiki, StarTrek.com, Star Trek Freedom, and Megiddo.com. While the last two in particular appear to be RPG sites, they did have some interesting additional information, particularly the latter.

Dedication: My muses, for being there...
