    Awww man! Oh well, point of fact, or as near as we have on the plethora of eclectic

Ayeka- <direct quote> Our father made the law, that after him we should mix blood with
other planets.

    One being Ayeka's, the alien blood belonging to Yosho's parents.

Ah yes! That is true. Of course the whole point is rather moot anyhow. Current Earth laws 
do not permit incestuous marriages so unless Ayeka, who is Tenchi's grand-Aunt (being the 
half-sister of his grandfather)  plans to force Tenchi to move back to Jurai, and she 
didn't seem very interested in returning in OAV 13, she's going to have a problem. She 
could have Yosho perform a ceremony at the Shrine, but that ceremony would only be 
recognized by the members of that household. Her and Tenchi's blood would be too close a 
match if they went into town and had a wedding and without a blood test they could not 
get any government or legal documents outside of whatever ones Yosho could sign, so 
there's a good chance that outside the confines of the Masaki home, Ayeka and Tenchi 
would not be legally considered married on Earth. If they went to Jurai and got married 
and then came back, they also would not be considered legally married on Earth because 
Earth is unaware of Jurai and there are no legal offices on Earth that would recognize a 
Juraian document as being either legal or binding.

wanted to do that, ever since I heard about it.

    Anyway, if the author was taking the above as canon, Ayeka's fears could easily be
attributed to not wanting to be bumped from the Jurian position when the marriage feast's
seating arrangements come up. One of the nice things about writing for Tenchi is that so
little is actually explained in even the most holy of holy canonical sources, so you've got

lots of room to make it up as you go along. Heck, that's how the TV series got started. ^_-

ROTFLMAO!!!!
