Summary
In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "You Are Cordially Invited," you are cordially invited to the wedding of Jadzia Dax and Worf. Also invited are all their close friends like the Deep Space Nine crew and Martok and, unfortunately, Martok's wife who seems determined to stop this union before it can even start. Not everyone is invited to Dax's party, but that's probably for the best.
Hosted by John Champion & Norman Lao
