MapleSunflower 1049 Share Posted March 5, 2022 A Belt of Twine and Ivy Holy Matrimony of Iulius Vernhart and Madeline Rose 17th of Julia and Piov, 416 E.S. Only Us Time is an irrelevant concept As I look down into your deep, brown eyes. A face I first saw when I was inept This love I found, to my joy and surprise. We walk through endless hoops together. However difficult, we choose to withstand. Our lives, our hopes, our losses, our joys, are now tied by a tether. "I have one condition on our courtship, Iulius." A soft voice spoke to the man before her. "I-If I am to be your wife someday, I want to be betrothed to you just as another Haenseni woman would." The blonde woman looked to the leather-bound book in her hands, a thumb marked the page of interest. Shakily inhaling, Madeline read aloud, "The Verevka belt is made of ivy and twine and is presented privately by a suitor to their lady to seek the permission of her hand in marriage. It must be fashioned of material gathered in nearby woodlands, twisted together by the hands of the suitor and blessed by a priest to be considered a legitimate offering." "Its knotted form represents the partnership the two share, entwined together much like the ivy into a strong girdle, and reflects the binding vows they will soon swear." Iulius listened to his beloved lady as she read from the book. "Vy wish for eam to make vy one of these, da?" He asked with an inhale, watching her. Reaching forward, he pushed her hair up and behind her ear. "For if vy wish it, ea will do it." ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ The lantern's flame flickered over the couple's features as a box was set into Madeline's lap. Her dark brown eyes glanced upwards to Iulius, a hand going to remove the lid. Madeline's eyes went wide. Carefully, her hands reached to take the belt of twine and ivy from the box; a thumb ran over a green ivy leaf. "A verevka belt..." She breathed in awe. Tears started to well in her eyes. "I-" Her lips tremebled as she forced her tears back. Smiling brightly at Iulius, she said, "Spasiba... Spasiba, Iulius."

tcs_tonsils_ 2829 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Iulius Vernhart smiled as he read through the invitation. "It am perfect." He shared softly, looking back up from the paper to look into her eyes. "Ea'll send these out at once." He stood up, moving around the dinner table to embrace her gently before moving down the stairs. He gave an a letter to every bird, then sent them on their way. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taketheshot 3834 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The Duke of Azor sighed and grumbled as he read the missive clearly conflicted following the conversations between himself, his sister and his niece. Finally the Archchancellor relented calling out of his office to his assistant. "Bring the good parchment and pen! I've a letter to pen the Duke of Valwyck!" The assistant hurried off before Joseph d'Azor called after him. "And bring my good chainmail shirt! I'd like to survive any incidents..." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke of Valwyck, having felt that he was about to receive mail sometime within the near future, stared longingly at his mailbox. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Rosemary watched Lady Diana drink the large quantities of Merlot from the other side of the room, shaking her head "Both my mothers are alcoholic it seems" she went back to knitting a hat for the baby resting in a cot nearby. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
