I've always heard it as Rev. Dr.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh.
A first name or a courtesy title must intervene between The Reverend and the surname.
The Reverend Miss Ward, The Reverend Ann Ward, The Reverend Dr. Ward,
not The Reverend Ward

My paternal grandfather used to address my father as Esquire on the letters he'd send. Because he was proud my dad was a big shot and stuff. It was very cute.
Christ, I've just realised that I'm the only one in the family who only has a courtesy title. What is wrong with me? Of course, I can kill them all with my bare hands, but that doesn't make all the hurt go away. Just some.

Some of my sorority sisters would tell you that the "Mrs." is definitely earned. So interesting. Rules for everything.
