Wedding!


[Cloudspire Keep, Chapel]
Moonlight shines through a stained glass dome, sending soft pastel shadows dancing about the chapel of the Keep.  A white silk carpet runs along the central aisle, between rows of polished oak pews, to a small dais at the northern end of the room.  Atop the dais, an elegant willow altar has been draped with a scarlet cloth embroidered with a wheeling silver dragon, and adorned with softly glowing candles and vases of white roses.



You also see a gloomy Shadow Servant, a sweeping stone staircase which leads to the Great Hall and a cloth-covered wooden crate.

Obvious exits: none.

Nurah exclaims, "And we're getting started everyone quiet, please!"

The candles flutter in a warm breeze, the flickering light lending a lovely air of intimacy to the area.

Remcinsh steps through the entryway, nervously adjusting his robes.  He pauses for a moment, blinking at the assembled guests, before veering forward suddenly as if he was shoved.  A barely stifled giggle is heard behind him as the Cleric makes his way down the aisle, taking his place at the altar with a grin.

The curtain parts again and Samsaren strides into view.  The candles flare brighter briefly, the light glinting off of the massive shield strapped to his back.  Several sighs are heard from the back of the room as he passes but he gives no indication that he notices.

Samsaren reaches the altar and pats Remcinsh on the shoulder with a smile before smoothing a non-existent crease in his doublet and turning around to stare intently at the entryway.

A slight scuffle is audible behind the curtain.  After a moment, Eckan lurches into view followed immediately by Khaelyn.  The Paladin takes the Cleric's arm nervously, a slight flush creeping up his neck.  Khaelyn leans over to whisper something to him and a loud cough is heard behind them, causing them both to flinch and make their way hastily to the dais.

Synamon follows the pair, hot on their heels.  Beaming brightly and waving at many of the guests, she busily straightens several flowers on her way down the aisle.  Once she reaches the altar, she gives Samsaren an exuberant smooch and pinches his cheeks, drawing a grin from normally stoic Paladin.  Humming to herself, she takes her place off to the side after giving Khaelyn a not very subtle nudge and fluttering her eyelashes at Eckan.

The music swells slightly before falling silent.  Wyvir steps into view and gives a slight nod to the musicians who launch into the wedding march.

Sendithu slips into the room to stand next to her twin, her violet eyes passing over the crowd almost dismissively before locking gazes with Samsaren.  He exhales softly, relaxing and running his eyes over her with a warm, heartfelt smile.  A slow grin creeps over her lips as she takes her brother's proffered arm and begins walking down the aisle.

A ray of light strikes the altar like the gentle touch of Hodierna's hand, illuminating the room with a joyful glow.

Her long train rustling through the scattered rose petals behind them, Sendithu and Wyvir approach the candlelit altar.  Wyvir pauses at the foot of the dais and a meaningful glance passes between him and Samsaren before they clasp hands and embrace briefly.  The mage steps back, giving his sister a kiss on the cheek and a wink before stepping out of the way.  Samsaren reaches for Sendithu and she takes his hand, a radiant smile on her face as he draws her close to his side.

Sendithu smiles.

Kattena shakes her head at Maltris.

Sendithu looks at Samsaren and blushes.

Samsaren smiles.

Remcinsh recites:

    "Welcome everyone, to the most blessed day ever."


Synamon grins at Remcinsh.

Sendithu grins crookedly.

Remcinsh says, "A day where each of us get to bear witness the rarest event, where the brilliant sun Samsaren, and the shimmering moon Sendithu finally come together as one."

Remcinsh says, "The shiniest of all paladins and the angel of the night sky have both prepared their vows for us, the Gods, but for most of all each other to bear witness."

Kattena laughs!

Kattena covers her mouth with her hand.

Samsaren inhales a great swallow of air.

Samsaren slowly empties his lungs.

Sendithu gazes at Samsaren in admiration.

Samsaren says, "Dearest Sendithu, as I have traveled life's great journey I never know such joy was ahead of me.  My time beside you has brought a light and warmth to my days beyond measure.  Having your presence beside me lends strength to face any challenge that may lie ahead."

A passing breeze catches up some fallen rose petals, wafting them playfully through the air before gently dropping them to the ground.

Samsaren says, "Words cannot describe the wonderful joy I feel holding you close.  Your breathtaking beauty, tremendous wit, and above all, unending patience for my plodding ways are beyond my ability to express.  I embrace each day with ever growing exuberance knowing I can share it with you."

Sendithu looks at Samsaren and blushes.

Samsaren says, "As we express our growing bond here and now before all, my heart can't express my own happiness.  Sendithu Shima'ionare, I love you, now and forever, and pledge my heart, my life, and my soul to you for as long as I live."

Sendithu beams at Samsaren!

Sendithu bats Samsaren playfully with his ponytail.

Samsaren smiles.

Remcinsh nods to Sendithu.

Synamon shifts her weight.

Sendithu says to Samsaren, "My Sam. I never dreamed I would be lucky enough to be standing here with you, joining my life to yours. You have stood faithfully by my side, my best friend and attentive protector for so many years that I simply cannot recall a time when I was without you, and I do not wish to contemplate being without you ever again."

Sendithu says to Samsaren, "You are the strongest, smartest, most loyal man I have ever known. That crunchy outer layer of damite is not enough to conceal your big, kind heart, and I am ridiculously pleased that I am the one who gets to wake up to your handsome face every morning and fall asleep safe in your arms every night."

Sendithu grins crookedly.

Sendithu playfully says to Samsaren, "Go ahead and blush, I know you want to. You deserve it, you keep this silly grin on my face all the time."

Samsaren blushes a bright red color.

Sendithu hums happily to herself.

Sendithu says to Samsaren, "Here and now, as we formally acknowledge that so much more has grown between us over time, I am happier than I have ever thought possible. I am thrilled to call you mine. I love you, Samsaren Remlane, and I pledge my heart, my life, and my soul to you for as long as I live."

Synamon giggles.

Wyvir smiles broadly.

Remcinsh smiles.

A beam of light filters through a cloud, a bright omen for a joyous occasion.

Sendithu hums to herself.

Remcinsh asks, "Now Samsaren, do you take Sendithu to be your lovely wife?"

Samsaren says, "I do."

Samsaren smiles at Sendithu.

Sendithu slowly empties her lungs.

Synamon appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Remcinsh asks, "Sendithu do you take Samsaren to be your shiney husband?"

Squanto holds his hand out towards Samsaren for a highfive.

Sendithu grins.

Sendithu says, "I very much do."

Samsaren smiles.

Synamon taps Squanto's nose with her dainty bouquet.

Kattena appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Remcinsh says, "Now you may kiss the bride."

Remcinsh smiles at Samsaren.

Remcinsh exclaims, "Ohh rings!"

Sendithu flashes a quick grin.

Remcinsh says, "You should put on your rings."

Squanto tried to to highfive Samsaren, but got left hanging!

Sendithu says, "Good idea."

Samsaren gets a slender palladium infinity wedding band from inside his hitman's backpack.

Sendithu gives Remcinsh a crooked grin.

A ray of light strikes the altar like the gentle touch of Hodierna's hand, illuminating the room with a joyful glow.

Samsaren says, "I think I can manage a slight delay.."

Synamon looks at Sendithu, obviously trying not to grin.

Remcinsh gets a Saemaus' kiss rose from inside his creamy yellow pouch.

Remcinsh offers Samsaren a Saemaus' kiss rose.

Samsaren kisses the rose solemnly to affirm his vow.

Samsaren offers Sendithu a Saemaus' kiss rose.

Sendithu accepts Samsaren's Saemaus' kiss rose.

The rose is enveloped in a holy light until nothing is left but the invisible bond it symbolized.

Remcinsh smiles.

Synamon covers Khaelyn's eyes with her hand.

a pair of white glaes swans with aoustone-inlaid wings
Seeming to float upon the hair when worn, the dainty amethyst-eyed birds are crafted from lustrous white glaes.  Each diminutive feather is formed from vivid, blue-hearted aoustone, causing a smoky azure tinge with hints of fiery orange to bleed into the half-stretched wings in any available light.

a dainty shireli lace choker dangling a whirl cut violet's heart amethyst
Positioned to nestle in the hollow of the wearer's throat, the complex cut of the deep purple gem allows it to catch more available light and emphasizes the indigo, almost crimson center.  The dusky purple lace is woven with a distinctive pattern of medallion flowers.
