[There's virtually nothing for Ray to smile about beyond the support of a wolf and the promise of a free bar. If he can't get totally drunk and embarrass himself at his exes wedding, then when could he do that sort of thing? It was the perfect opportunity for it, and he imagines that's precisely why Stella doesn't want him there.
Fraser might keep him in check, though. Might at least make sure Ray's not approaching the new couple to shout obscenities or try punching the groom in the face. It's all very tempting to do, and with the help of alcohol breaking down his inhibitions, he might just be at risk of following through if neither he nor Benton are careful. Sadly the Mountie had some babysitting on his hands, but he's undoubtedly used to that after being partnered with both Dief and Kowalski.
The smile fades quickly though, exceptionally short lived but it appears to have broken down some of the previous frostiness that might freeze straight back over once they arrive. Fraser's asking for aid though, so for now the annoyance stays away and Ray, the great friend that he is, takes the request very seriously.
He knows the Vecchios. Had to for his cover. They're certainly a handful, much more so when Fraser got involved. Must be something about the Vecchio name when it comes to obsessions with the Mountie, Ray Vecchio included.]
You want me to bail you if mamma Veccio starts trying to force feed you cake? Sure, Frase. What are friends for?
[But not before he's watched Fraser get increasingly more uncomfortable first.]
