IT IS WITH GREAT JOY,

That House Ludovar reaffirms that Lady Amicia Ludovar has been promised in later marriage to His Serene Highness, Frederick de Joannes; Prince of South Sedan now that the Lady has come of age after many years of allowing the couple to bond and get to know each other.

AS SUCH, 

Count Johann is pleased to announce the coming Hauchmetvas of his second daughter and the younger twin, Lady Adele Ludovar.

 

THE EVENT WILL SERVE THREEFOLD.

Firstly, as a celebration in light of both of the Ludovar twins’ ascensions into adulthood. It will also act as Lady Adele’s traditional Haeseni Hauchmetvas for her to accept prospective suitors to secure familial alliances and in preparation for the newly begun Lifstala season. And thirdly, as the official celebration of Lady Amicia’s future betrothal and the prospective union of the Ludovar and de Joannes families.

 

 

     I. THE BESTOWING OF THE GARLAND

The event will begin with Count Johann giving a speech for both of his daughters. Following the speech, as is traditional for a Haeseni Hauchmetvas, a wreath ceremony will be held in honour of Lady Adele’s openness to courtship. As opposed to elder female members of the house handling the wreath, the bestowment of the wreath is being managed by the Lady’s beloved twin sister, Amicia, who has decided to gift her a garland composed of meaningful traditional flowers. Upon the wreath shall be centrally purple magnolias due to their being Lady Adele’s favourite flowers and signifying long life and purity, yellow yarrows encouraging the everlasting love the debutante will share with her potential suitor, and white myrtle flowers to wish Lady Adele good luck in her bright future.

 

     II. THE FATHER-DAUGHTER DANCE

The first dance of the night will be a waltz between Lady Adele and her father, Count Johann Ludovar, for them to share a final moment before she begins the process of courtship. Upon the onset of the father-daughter dance, the ballroom floor will be opened to any couples present in the room to dance the night away. Lady Adele will then take any dance requests from potential suitors wishing to show their intentions to begin courtship with the young Lady.

 

     III. EXPECTED ATTIRE

Due to Lady Adele’s fascination and love of literature, and inkeeping with the theme designated for Lifstala this season, the theme for the evening will be Fairy Tales. The Keep of the County shall be fabulously decorated with the embellishments of the Debutante’s favourite Tales from her books. As usual for a Hauchmetvas, it is asked that honourable guests do not adorn the colour red out of respect for the tradition. However, the Ludovar twins have decided to swap their favourite colours that they usually don for the evening. As red is the traditional colour of a debutante, Lady Amicia will be adopting her sister’s favourite colour: Blue. Therefore, both young Ladies have requested that guests do not don the colour blue exclusively as their outfit. All other colours are completely allowed, providing that blue and red are not the primary colours of a Lady’s gown.

 

Any gifts that friends of the now-grown ladies wish to deliver to them will be entirely welcome and both twins hope to see many of their friends in attendance!
