[!] An Artist’s depiction of the soon to be wed couple, Chief of Intelligence, Sir Alaric DeNurem KL and the Right Honorable Imperial Director of Immigration, Lieutenant Viktoriya Helene Châteaudun.

 

 

Freshly fallen snow crunched beneath a certain Lieutenant’s boots as she’d round the corner of the road leading up to the formidable fortress of the Eye of Man, Captain Alaric DeNurem close in-toe as they’d approach. There, the great bastion stood, ever-looming across the barren tundra of the Holy Orenian Empire’s North-Eastern woodland – the area around them still and silent, as gray clouds, laden with snow, hung heavy in the sky above. They'd approach the lake beside the keep, an eager grin upon Lt. Viktoriya’s face as she’d walk upon the ice.

 

”Hmmm . . . What’s this surprise you’ve been speaking of, Vikky?” Alaric called after her, outstretching a hand to sit upon her shoulder as they’d walk. Where they stood, the ice seemed exceptionally thick – showing that the Leftenant likely had scouted the area before taking him.

 

”Ye’ll see – Ye’ll see! Just follow me~,” Viktoriya told back with a hum, grasping his hand to intertwine their digits as she’d glance up at the DeNurem, an almost . . . Fond look in her hues, paired with her anxious smirk.

 

 

An hour had passed as they traipsed around, sight-seeing and cracking jokes at one another – falling upon their arses and cackling, enjoying their time spent. After her last fall upon the ice, the Lieutenant didn’t seem to bother getting up as she’d reach for something within the depths of her satchel – a small, wooden box. A ring sat within its confines, atop a tiny velvet pillow –  looking as if whoever had made it put tremendous thought & effort into the small gift. Using her offhand, she'd pull out another object –  a bouquet, except, seeming to be made of carefully worked glass. Staring down toward the ice below them, she'd then slowly peer up to meet Alaric's hues - her anxious expression slowly melting into that of a longing gaze.

 

“Alaric . . . Yer' my world - the dream in my ‘eart. The first time I'd laid m’ eyes upon ye, ae immediately knew we shared somet’ing special - and et wasn't long after t’at I'd fallen in love with ye & realized ah'd been meant to spend my life . . . With ye'. Yer tae most incredible man I've ever known, and ye make me feel amazing each and evereh day. At first, ae'd . . . Been incredibly nervous to say this. But, now - I'm elated to be ‘ere, upon one knee - proposing to the man I love. Ah can't promise ta fix all yer' problems - and I know t’at ye' can’nae fix all o' mine. But I can promise, t’at, from now on - Ye' won't have to face t’em alone.”

 

 

Alaric's lips parted, his jaw lowering a tad as a grin flashed across his visage - His heart beating quickly as he heard her words, inside feeling his love for the Leftenant. The DeNurem's grin slowly settled on a loving smile, a sense of serenity arising midst her presence.

“Viktoriya,” He began his part, drawing in a deep breath, locking eyes with her.

 

“Since the days I set my eyes on you, way back- During my cadet days, a part of me was taken, lost and drifting through the halls of my mind for so very long . . . No more. When despair was cast upon my former marriage, so coincidentally, by fate or not, you were there - A light to guide that part of me that was so lost,” He paused a moment, simply adoring her features. “And in those quick days, I came to notice that my soul was truly incomplete - It was missing you. I love you Vik, so damn much. You're always there for me, one that takes life with such elegance, expertly sailing the waves of time with the things you do so well . .. I could go on for days, never to end on how eternal my love for you ist,” He concluded, widening his smile as he offered his hand for the ring, awaiting the question.

 

“ . . . Yer’ much better at wording this than I am,” Viktoriya would quietly chuckle, bowing her head as she'd offer him the ring. “ . . . Will you make me t'happiest woman in the world-” Viktoriya would pause, then peering back up at him - a genuinely affectionate expression upon her scarred features. “And - And, marry me?” She'd finally choke out, the woman's grin broadening.

 

The DeNurem slowly reached his right hand out further to slip the ring into his right fourth finger - His facial expression beaming with happiness and affection at that. “In doing so, I would, in turn, be the happiest man in the world-” He mirrored the pause, peering back deeply down at her eyes. “Viktoriya-Marie, with all certainty GOD could bestow upon me - I do so graciously accept you in marriage!” He exclaimed, immediately leaning to a kneel before her as his left hand quickly search the back of her neck, resting there as he went in for a passionate kiss.

 

Lieutenant Viktoriya-Marie's smile would grow wider as she heard him, tilting her head to press her lips upon his - tightly shutting her eyes as she'd lean into him. One arm would pull itself up & around his shoulders, while her other hooked underneath his right - pulling him into a tight embrace as they met lips. “Alaric . . .” She'd murmur between breaths, pulling away for a moment to speak. “You've never left my side, even after ah've been . . . Quite the troublemaker. I love 'ye. The mostest.”

 

His eyes closed as their lips met, his hand around the back of her neck moving ever so slightly, giving her skin a little scratch - His right hand circled up to rest by her cheeks, cupping it while they embrace, his frame pressed against hers. “Vik . . . You've been with me in the darkest of times and made this day the brightest of them all- As I with you, you with me. I love you just as much as you love me,” He hummed as they took a pause, going back to the task at hand for a while longer - Before pulling but an inch out, his forehead pressed against hers as he watched her eyes longingly.

Firstly,

The Marital Proceeding

Those invited & wishing to attend will gather within the Basilica of the Final Revelation, inside the Crownlands of Helena, to bear witness to Sir Alaric DeNurem KL & Lieutenant Viktoriya-Marie Châteaudun’s  espousal. Leonardo Châteaudun, Ms. Viktoriya’s father, will lead the maiden down the aisle to ‘give away the bride’, per marital traditions. Alongside her, a Ms. Jacquelyn Cenobia will serve as her Bridesmaid – and Mr. Ostromir Carrion as the Groom’s Best Man.

 

Secondly,

Bestowals of Good Will

After the holy ceremony, any guests who bare gifts for the couple, or wish to congratulate them, may approach the dais in orderly fashion in to do so. Be their bestowals physical gifts, or wise words of advice, all offerings will be graciously accepted. After all has been finished, while leaving to begin their after party, the newly-wed couple will throw two bouquets into the air – one for any woman attending, and a second for the event’s gentlemen – to grab.

 

Thirdly,

A Revelry in Jubilation

 An after-party event will be held within the grounds of the Dragon’s Rest Tavern, with servantry dispensing refreshments to those who had attended the event. The Bride will hand gift baggies out – containing unique & custom-made offerings to the guests as a thanks for their attendance. After all have eaten & received their bestowals, the newly-weds & their Best Men & Women will come together to host a toast – signaling the event’s next segment, of short games & happenings. 

 

Lastly,

A Concourse of Fair Maidens & Sirs

Once the toast has been made, the next few planned games & contests will begin – the prize pool over 2,500+ Imperial Marks!

 

 

A Contention of Fine Wear

– 

All fair Maidens & dashing Sirs that wish to participate in the after party’s first event are encouraged to don DeNurem colors: being Gold, Onyx, & White.

The Drunken Jubilee

– 

The Bride & Groom call upon the most avid drinkers to participate in an alcohol-tolerance competition. The drink being used in question is called the ‘Widowmaker Shot’ – notorious for bringing down the heftiest of ologs, and putting the most skilled drunkards into a deep sleep.

In order to play, you must pay a sum of 150 mina – and the winner will get 80% of all profit from the pool, along with an extra two hundred per round they’ve stayed sober (With a maximum of Four Rounds).

 

By taking part in the Drunken Jubilee, you understand that we will not take any responsibility for damage you may cause to yourself, others, or the surrounding area whilst drunk. You are in charge of yourself – it is suggested you bring company, in the event that you may black out.

Sir Alaric DeNurem began preparing himself for the grand day.

[devvy 1348]

Lieutenant DeNurem unsealed the invitation, jaw slackening in shock as she had yet to meet this in-law to be. Despite such, she’d save the date, deciding to support Alaric! A letter was sent in return to confirm her attendance, and she’d set off to find Alaric and most likely scold him for such late notice. 

[TheNunnery 1853]

 

“My own mother... does not invite me to her wedding.. THAT TRAITOR AND WHOR-“ She’d move her hands to cover her mouth.

The small and young, Catherine Anne Pruvia-Albarosa started to cry as she’d cover herself with blankets in her room.

A new & personal invitation is sent for Catherine Anne Pruvia-Albarosa regarding the wedding to come.

 Catherine Anne Pruvia-Albarosa throws the invitation into a shelf, but still cuddled all up in her bedroom by blankets, the child still crying.

 

[___South___ 87]

Peter would look to see who was personally invited, and seemed a tiny bit disappointed that he wasn’t personally invited. “Either way, I shall be there... Or try to.”

[winterblood 11181]

Alexandria Karina WICK frowned at her invitation. “Pah, they got the name wrong!  I’m a happily married woman now, a proud Wick!  Anyways, I hope they accept moss as a wedding gift.”

[Branchio 93]

Mary Jane lofts a brow upon receiving the invitation, reading over it once quickly she’d offer a single bob of her head before tucking it away in her desk drawer, “May he bring her happiness” she’d remark to no one in particular and continue on to take a sip of her nearby cup of tea. 

[garentoft 9265]

The young Franz stares intensely at the invitation that he was so courtesely delivered by a courier. However, upon the conclusion that he cannot read, he runs off to ask his older brother Aleksandr what it says. @Xarkly

[Xarkly 17299]

Aleksandr shot his younger brother a frown as he arrived in the Ekaterinburg gardens to find the eight-year old Aleksandr practicing sword-forms, and rather badly at that.

 

“I’m p-practicing, Franny,” he stuttered through his speech impediment, but eventually relented. “I-it’s a w-wedding,” he read off the letter, teacup eyes narrowed to a squint. “B-buh … I dunno who these p-p-people are. Now g-go away! I’m being a k-knight.”

 

@Gusano

[audyush 747]

Annabelle Kelmenour would slowly and carefully open the invitation, trying her best not to rip the letter. She’d read through the invitation as an excited grin would form on her face upon noticing she had been invited, “Oh my goodness, I’m so excited for her! She deserves all the happiness in the world!”. she’d laugh a little to herself, as she had said this to no one in particular. She’d then gently fold the letter back and placed it on her dining table as she went to prepare her outfit for the wedding.

[GhostSHTR 1205]

“Father do I have to go”  Sergei would pout” Didn’t she cheat on her husband for a promotion?” he’d continue before stopping for his Father’s response @grnappa

Sir Alaric DeNurem frowned deeply at the comment, aiming to seek out the source of the baseless slanders.

“I wonder who ist spreading that kind of defamation.. Must be some jealous fellow.” 

The DeNurem muttered with a smirk, returning to his daily routine.
