ON THE OCCASION

“Address to All Invited”

 

Whence, are two hearts joined, in earnest - whence that first spark is bid alight, on the eve of moonlit night? Or whence they stand before his sight, amidst the Heavens’ brightest light? It matters naught, in truth, you see; for amidst our heart’s every small beat; before the heavens, peers, and thee; we stand, to wed, eternally.

 

Joined long now since, in our affections, deeper than any words could bear to speech - the day has at last chanced, whence we may avow ourselves to one another, as we had long avowed ourselves to our greater, Heartlandic, family; here besides us on this day, of dearest matrimony.

THE HONOURED

“Maids & Knights of Honour”

OFFICIANT

▩ Archbishop, Frantzisko Cardinal Albarosa

 

                      AM: As no Heartlandic matrimony is complete without a godly witness, to oversee its proceedings, and its vows; so too does our dearly beloved Archbishop, and Cardinal Franzitsko, at his insistence, and our joy, join us in our sacred union; since our first meeting, has found in the Cardinal, a fast confidant, and dearer friend, one I only hope to make proud in his fond trust & expectations in me.

BRIDE’S ‘FATHER’

▩ Ser, Atticus Abraham Reinhold

 

                      AM: Whence my beloved father’s ailment, beckoned his last breaths, was the day I first set out, and stepped foot, unto Vallagne; whilst my father is no more, I had found within, a family, anew, one that would come to wrest unto my heart’s every small beat. And of all, none am I more proud, to call father, than my beloved mentor, confidant, and family, from now, to the ends, eternally.

RINGBEARER ▩ Lady, Elsie von Augusten   AM: There are few words that chance to speak, how proud, and beloved, my dearest ward, is, and will always be, to me. Summers have passed since she’s been in my tutelage, and seeing her such, grown, drives me to tear-laden cheeks, and bids the brightest, helpless smile, to my lips - as if unto a daughter of mine own. I would have no one else fulfill such, than she. MAID OF HONOUR ▩ Her Majesty, Queen, Adalia I   AM: “Know mustn't shine alone, for we'll always shine with thee. I'll always chance be here, should you wish, to call on me.” To think I would be the one, instead, to first call on thee. But I couldn’t help my heart, now most truthfully, since I would have no other, than my would-be cousin, here with me. GROOMSMEN ▩ Captain, Felix   SO: Captain Felix, it would be a great honor if you would attend my wedding upon the dais where my bride and I are to be eternally bound; you are a man that, despite my shortcomings as an aspirant, did not give up on me because I was not strong like the rest of the men, or brave like them either. You saw through your duty, alongside our Lord Marshal, of molding me into a better man - one fit to care and protect his woman, whatever those odds may be. And, so, I must show our realm how good of a man you are by displaying our friendship openly, to them all, so that the Heartlands may understand the bond between their Brothers-at-Arms.   ▩ Legionary, Matthew Smythe   SO: A man I have grown with, side-by-side, and have watched become a leader of the good men in the Legion; Legionary Smythe, I invite you to await my bride’s most lavish meander up the aisle beside myself and the good Lord Marshal and Captain. On this day, I become the man I have only dreamed of being, and it is with you three men as witnesses that I wish to accomplish such.

BRIDESMAIDS ▩ Lady, Adelyn Isla Reinhold   AM: Amidst the family, that stole my heart herein, few else would chance to call, my dearest, fondest, true sibling, than my dearest sister, in aught but kin; would chance no heart more loved to keep, whence takes these steps, here beside me, she herself too soon to be, led down the aisle, to her wifey.   ▩ Lady, Yvaine von Theonus (née Sonja)    AM: Since the touch of providence had first penned my arrival unto the gates of Vallagne, I had found within, past my every hope, a sibling, in aught but blood and kin. From my very first night, to now, and on, eternally, will chance to always suffer be, my sister dearest, helplessly.   ▩ Miss, Lucia   AM: A resplendent heart & soul, without which this union could never chance to be; amidst the season’s Ball of Duality, the young Miss Lucia’s debut, did my paramour, and love, fall down on one knee. No one is more befitting of the role, than she who made this all possible, than our dearest realm’s, mistress of the robes. ▩ Laird, Iosefka Anarórë   AM: Though unable to make the wedding ceremony itself for long, due to helping host the famed Great Norlandic Winner’s festival; there is ne’er a confidant, and dearer friend, would have by my side, than the one by whose effort, the passions of my childhood, have been given new light & life. KNIGHT OF HONOUR ▩ Lord Marshal, Wilhelm   SO: My Lord Marshal, there is no other man I would want, or need, to haul me down the aisle in my final hour as a bachelor. You have made me into a man that my mother is proud to know, and that my father can stand to look at. There is no other way to honor you than as such - to have you by my side at the altar as I await my stunning bride’s walk from one end of the aisle to the other, where I await her.

Atticus' expression softens as he reads over the invitation, and warms as he reads his own name. He lets out a soft laugh that, if anyone asks, did not sound a little choked up. "I'm so happy for her- And I know that young man will treat her well." He carefully places the letter aside, planning to preserve it for years to come. "I feel quite lucky, to be able to walk both my daughters down their aisles so soon."

[Frank_Dog 410]

Elsie began to lay all her gowns upon her bed. "Oh what will I wear! I must look the best for Amelie's special day!"

[ichigomaster98 707]

The Laird reads over the missive, not seeing an invitation directed towards them at first due to their reading difficulties, but then they see it! Not only an invitation, but a very special one with a note attached! Preparations are arranged to escape their duties at the famed Great Norlandic Winner's Festival to make sure the wedding may be attended, hopefully with Blanca at their side.

"I recall when Sorrel was but a little fleep," kabbalah-beamed the Crab directly into the unsuspecting Atticus' brain, all of a sudden, "Never thought he'd marry, to be fair."

OOC: @ApricetteI'd love to witness this event tho I'm out of town at that moment most likely. As you are so incredibly wholesome and I gotta support one of the cutest dwarfs to date.
