He Like It, So He Put a Ring On It

[peacockherald]

Who: Vanyel, Tylendel, Yfandes + the rest of the Castle (aka, whomever wants to show up)
What: Vanyel and Tylendel's wedding
When: May 3, afternoon to evening
Where: The Castle Gardens
Rating: PG (unless the residents up the anit)

It was a glorious day to host a wedding. It was warm without being hot, not a cloud in the sky, and everything seemed to be cooperating and going the way it should. The grooms were dressed in their finest, Yfandes brushed to a sparkling sheen. Flowers had been arranged over a small arch, scenting the air with the smells of jasmine and bright honeysuckle. Behind the grooms was a small pedestal with a shallow bowl filled with a bit of oil, and before it a small cushion that kept two rings quite safe. Benches had been placed out along the lawn for people to sit on with cushions laid across them for comfort, politely arranged so that the trees of the garden case some shade upon them. Other than these small things, there was no great fanfare to the whole thing, but best not to take away from the grooms. It was an open sort of affair, a celebration to be shared with any who wished to share it.

Not that the grooms would necessarily notice right away as they had eyes for no one but each other, did they? But they weren't much meant to, on this sort of day, at this sort of moment. If they had, well, they might need to be rethinking all of this marriage business. But they didn't need to, certainly not Vanyel. 

This was everything he had ever wanted, and he was going to grasp it tight with both hands. He could only hope that everyone else that came, be it for this moment or the celebration after, would rejoice in it as much as he did.

THE VOWS

ooc: Mostly this will be Tylendel and Van exchanging their vows, but if you wish to have your character comment here that's fine too!

THE WEDDING FEAST

[peacockherald]

What wedding was complete without a joyous feast?

Long tables had been set up to one side, piled with food. Not quite so much as at the May Day the Queen had put up a few days ago, but enough to entice anyone even if they had a full stomach already. Meats both warm and cold started at one end of the table, working into the grooms' favorite fruits, nuts, and of course the sweets. Small cakes and sugared nuts and candied fruits and many more in between. Wine, fruit juice, beer, water, and tea were made available at the far end, but no doubt the one cake everyone wished to see the most was kept well out of the way until the proper time.

Hope everyone saves some room!

THE DANCE

[peacockherald]

With bellies full and perhaps even a little drunk depending on how one enjoyed the offered beverages (or wished some up for yourself), a space was cleared for dancing! Music began, lively and foot-tapping. There would be no solemn songs here, not on this day!

THE FIREWORKS

[peacockherald]

If ever one is to give grooms a gift for the wedding day, fireworks might be a good thing to get, especially when one is a wizard. Night had fallen on the celebration, some of the festivities winding down as cakes had been cut, dances danced, and merriment had. But one last surprise, so don't go yet!

Against the darkened sky, boom and flashes of light! A white mare galloping across the stars, leaving her own trail of them behind. Phoenixes swirling in courtship dances bursting red. Dragons twining and twisting. All sorts of shapes and beasts twisted and danced through the sky, courtesy of Clow Reed.
