The theme of today's puzzle had me wondering whether the constructor was intentionally sending a romantic message to Ruby. I was delighted to find that he was. Many congratulations on your anniversary, Daniel and Ruby ❤️

My nationality obligates me to appreciate a good q(ueue), 'though no obligation was needed. Extremely satisfying puzzle today. Thank you!

For once, my lack of knowledge of Greek letters worked in my favour. I took the revealer literally and used I/O in the rebus squares without knowing what the name of the letter or what its shape was. From the clue I had pictured a lollipop ('sucker', I think, to you folks?). I/O, of course, works beautifully for the crosses.
