livrose 1594 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 The Royal Wedding 2nd of Gronna and Droba, 390 E.S [!] A painting of the wedding ceremony between Prinzen Sigismund Karl Barbanov and Lady Emma of Jerovitz. Under the watchful eye of GOD, and all in attendance, it pleases the Crown that His Serene Highness, Prinzen Sigismund Karl and the Lady Emma Karenina of Jerovitz will be wed, surely telling that a prosperous future is to come. For both the Countal House of Kortrevich, the Royal House of Barbanov, and the future of the Kongzem. The couple extend invitations to all to partake in the wedding festivities - including the Haeseni festival, Barovifest, in the weeks to come. I. BAROVIFEST Day One The Festivities of Barovifest And so it begins, commencing with the traditional ‘Day of All Souls’ holiday. At this Haeseni festival of ancient import, barricades between castes are discarded. It is of no matter if a man is born of a blacksmith or a King, for all are equal under the eye of Godani. All will come together to commemorate our bonds and kinship. The two-day festival will begin with the burning of a great pyre, before such gaiety dissolves into raucous celebrations around central feasting tables, stalls, and games. The traditional Crowns of Chamomile can be constructed and exchanged by partners, as a sign of love and devotion. Shogging Tournaments Due to the popularity of the Halfling game, shogging competitions will be held, available for guests to challenge one another. Two contestants have to balance on a log and try to knock the other off - last one standing remains the victor! The Harutopolta Within the palace kitchens, the cooks and servants have been thrown into a flurry of activity in preparing the dishes for Barovifest’s feasting tables, adjusted to the Prinzen’s and Lady Emma’s preferences. Observing tradition, the Harutopolta - a great food fight - will see to it that no leftovers go to waste. Babushka Trail By the brilliant hand of His Excellency, Ser Casimir Colborn, a twisting scavenger hunt has been set through the streets of Karosgrad and the surrounding gardens. Babushka dolls have been especially hand-painted and prepared by the High Justiciar, then hidden, for the delight of those partaking in the hunt to find. Each doll found may be kept by their finder. During the festivities, the beginning of the hunt will be announced by His Excellency, and the first clue distributed! (Tuesday 7th September, 4.30 EST) Day Two The Grand Joust of the Grand Arena In honour of the upcoming Royal Wedding, letters have been distributed throughout the kingdom, inviting all who feel they are worthy to the newly-built arena in the city. A fearsome jousting tourney shall take place, where the champion shall win a prize of 100 mina, and runner up will receive 75 mina. (Wednesday 8th September, 5.30 EST) Barovimnuesz, the Mass of All Souls Hosted by His Holiness, High Pontiff Everard VI, a church service will be held in the Basilica of St Henrik. This holy day will begin with paying thanks, and praying for continued close bonds among the Haeseni populace, while confessions will be offered by the clergy for those wishing to confess their sins or seek advice from those who have devoted their life to Godani. (Wednesday 8th September, 7.00 EST) II. PRE-WEDDING EVENTS An Exhibition of Jewels Delving into the vast history of the Kingdom, Lady Emma will be presented with a series of artefacts and jewellery, laid out by Her Majesty, Queen Annika and her ladies. Each tiara, gem, or pendant has been drawn from the Royal Archives for the Lady to pick which she will don on her wedding day. Her Ladyship wishes to open the showcase to any jeweller, or citizen around the Kingdom to put forward their own contribution, presenting it at the exhibition, or offering their own jewelled wares in gift to the to-be-Queen. Any questions regarding such, contact Queen Annika. (Thursday 9th September, 4.30 EST) A Lover’s Chase Stemming from an old Haeseni tale, couples will gather in at the gates of Karosgrad at the entrance of the city. The ladies will be granted a headstart, as they race into the farmlands and surrounding woodland. After waiting a few moments, a secondary horn will go for the men to give chase- seeking out their match. Once couples find one another, and the chase is up, they will make their way back to the Palace and be rewarded with a feast! Guests, along with the betrothed couple, will play all manner of fortune-telling games. (Thursday 9th September, 5 EST) Bachelor Celebrations In a bid to proclaim a final farewell to unmarried life, Lady Emma and Prinzen Sigismund will host their respective parties on the eve before the wedding. Invites are open to friends or anyone wanting to wish the couple well. (Friday 10th September) III. WEDDING & RECEPTION Within the Basilica of St Henrik, underneath the eye of Godani, the pair shall be wed. All are welcomed to the city of Karosgrad to witness such an occasion and join the couple in celebration. It is the wish of Lady Emma that her nieces: Lady Vasilia, Lady Emelya, and Lady Viktoriya Kortrevich, will be the ceremony’s three flower girls. The congregation will continue with HSH Princess Petra Emma, and Lady Eleanora Amador as the two bridesmaids before the bride herself makes her way down the aisle. It is then that the congregation will lay eyes the gown, assembled by the expert hands of Lady Maisie d’Arkent. Succeeding the ceremony, the guests will be lead into the Nikirala Prikaz, where a jovial feast will be laid with all manner of refreshments and food. All in attendance are warmly invited to mingle, dance in the ballroom, and present the newlyweds with gifts.

Mady 3002 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Brushing her fingers over the elegantly detailed parchment, tears would come to the eyes of Koenas Annika. "To think Sigismund was an infant when I first held him." She sighed. "My little boy has grown up..." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charbi 398 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Amelya Kortrevich beamed with pride as she kissed her sister's forehead for what felt the final time as she tucked her in to sleep. Being a nocturnal creature by nature, she paced the halls of their home in Jeroviz before an idea crept into her mind, aided by a certain little friend Emma had met and instantly befriended. A giggle escaped her lips as she found her stitching box, crept back into their shared dressing room and pulled Emma's wedding gown from the coverlet. An envious sigh escaped her lips as she twirled the fabric this way and that before pinning the hem up and getting to work on a small embroidery piece of a certain blue butterfly she they both knew and loved. "For luck," she whispered and watched how the stitched wings seemed to dance in the candlelight. She knew that no matter what her sister's future would bring, it would be as magical as Emma was. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavily pregnant woman proceeded to wander off to see to decor. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erictafoya 2302 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Andrik ran around the residential palace, screaming at the top of his lungs shouting "IT'S HAPPENING! IT'S HAPPENING!!!" suddenly the prospect of becoming King and having dreaded responsibility was become less and less likely! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuziee 3213 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Nikoleta sat in a tree, dangling her feet from it and eating a nice ripe apple as she read the missive. Her mind traveling to the idea of marriage and love in general, which made her face go bright pink. "Uhg. I hate weddings" 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statherian 3314 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Jan Otto Kortrevich knew the day would eventually come, he could not delay it either way. As excited as he was for the wedding of his sister, a sense of dread overwhelmed him all the same. He sat himself down in his study, a place where had been holed up quite frequently as of late. This time it was not with any of children however. He would have to let go eventually, just like had with Amelya. He had faith in Sigismund, but the prospect of having to see his sister leave Jerovitz proved a great burden on the Count. He took his pen and began writing one final letter to his lauvas, and to Sigismund. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
