**sigh** why saucepan? Do you need to be the arbiter of all things ironic?

Irony- An event or result that is the opposite of what is expected. (Webster's New World, def. #2)

Irony in a nutshell - The opposite of the expected or intended result. (Me)

And, by the way, Turin marrying his sister isn't ironic. The fact that she set out to find him and then didn't know it was him when she finally did, is ironic (in a nutshell).

love,
Tar
