"Oh, right..." Face grins a little too wide, cheeks flushed as he lets go of Murdock's hand to dig the heart shaped box out of his pocket. Inside are two narrow gold bands that match the plain silver.

His hand shakes, just slightly, as he removes the slightly larger one fitted to Murdock's size and holds it out to slide onto his waiting hand, nestling it against it's mate. "Let this ring be a symbol of my promises to you..." he pauses, forcing his voice to continue; "...and a reminder of my devotion to you. I am honored to call you my husband."

It's not real. He reminds himself, feeling even as he says the words he just might be wrong.
