Itinerary

 

THE ESPOUSAL

The nuptials will commence in the sacred walls of the Basilica of Saint Alexander of Furnestock within the capital, Vienne. The Bride to be will be preceded by three flower girls, three bridesmaids and guided to the altar by her father, King Charles of Aaun. As the girls pass the pews, flower petals will be sprinkled and as Princess Anna reaches the end of the aisle she will be handed off to the bridegroom symbolically. After such, they will be wed by His Holy Eminence, Pontain IV. 

 

THE EXCHANGE

Thereafter, all will be asked to exit the Basilica to follow the newly weds on horseback to the Duchy of Adria where Count Sigismond resides. All are encouraged to ride freely and join the couple as they experience their first journey as married folk.

 

THE ENJOYMENT

The celebration shall continue in Adria with a clearing made in the forest past St. Emalyne Castle. Festive bunting shall be hung from tree to tree with a large oak table cut that morn for guests to dine in. A brief speech will be recited by the couple and then gorgeous dishes designed by the Varoche children will be served to those in attendance.

"This title is unintentionally misleading." Said Ratibor.

Just now, MRCHENN said:

"This title is unintentionally misleading." Said Ratibor.

“Da, agreed.” Said the young Count to his brother!

Austina hung pink daisy's from St. Emalyneburg in long strings - ecstatic help host the grand nuptials! 

[Axelu 3691]

Marguerite, Marquise de Haute-Epine arranged for the bridal party of her dear friend, The Princess Anna of Aaun. This young noble would ascertain that the blushing bride might be doused in perfumery, frankincense, and a plethora of gifts befitting one of her status. "Ma coere, at long last! You and I will both be married ladies... Do think of the revelries!" Marguerite, in all of her simple and frivolous splendor, exclaimed, toying with the coiffure of her Johannian confidante.

[Norgeth 1110]

Ser Robert Lynde looks at his personal invite with a nod and smile "I'll make sure to be there!" he'd exclaim, placing the missive into his letter cabinet.

[valecu 2017]

"GOD blesses us once again, for our youngest leaves us, to wed the Count Varoche in bliss." The mother of the bride mentioned to her husband, as she expected the promised dowry in anticipation. 

[Gaja 289]

Stefan Euler grins widely at it. "Well, well! Invited by name!" He chuckles a little, thinking of Sigismond.

[Olox_ 3333]

Jan gives this wedding a thumbs up

[MunaZaldrizoti 5674]

Princess Lydia of Balian was heartened and overjoyed by the invitation, though she had been expecting it after how often she and the older royal had spoken over the last few years. The youngest Novellen hurried off to show her sister and father, making an effort to withhold details of the nuptials from her eldest brother, Hadrian. This was a royal affair, after all, and she felt he still had many manners to learn!

Henry fixed his circlet and nodded decisively - he was going to dance with someone.

 

Later that night, the boy dropped down to his bed, devastated that there, in fact, seemed to be no mention of dancing in the invitation.

[Enlightenment 1457]

Sigismond Varoche grinned, sharing a hearty laugh with Anna at the title she and the duchess chose!

[Mady 2989]

While sitting at her work bench within her royal apartment, the Princess Royal would be tinkering away, examining and experimenting with different nuts and bolts to best fix her cuckoo clock. As her younger sister barrelled through her doors, Elena’s wrench would fly out of her palm, clanging against the floor. Her annoyance was short lived as she quickly discovered what had spurred her sisters excitement. It would not be long before the two girls would begin chatting excitedly about what they would wear and who they would meet!

"I'm jus' glad he devoiced tha' other one lik' I been tellin' him ta do for years!. . . He didn' even invite meh." A certain annoyed Italian cousin murmurs, though the dame was happy non the less at her cousin's good fortune. 

[satinkira 5798]

Well, fair Princess..

Some damned traveller scratched his head a little.

I wish you well.
