[[June 10 / 1PM EST / 5PM GMT]]

 

It is the delight of the Houses d’Arkent and Kortrevich to announce the long-awaited nuptials of Augustina Catella and Fabian Otto. Their courtship first bloomed at the Symposia Pragma of their youth, and in the tumultuous years since has not only endured, but flourished into a love rooted in mutual respect and creative spirit. Their matrimony shall unify not only two young hearts, but dignified Houses of the North and South, and it is with great pride that both families invite their dearest friends and extended kin to the festivities which will mark this most joyous occasion.

The Prelude

The couple and those who wish to join them shall shatter plates outside the sacred walls of the chosen Basilica to ensure no ill spirits encroach upon the day. They shall then drink from one cup of wine, representing the blood of the family and the shared times, both bitter and sweet, which lay ahead.

 

The Ceremony

The Ceremony shall be held in the Church of the Holy Supernals in Portoregne, Capital of the Kingdom of Balian.

The couple shall walk down the aisle together, united before GOD, and upon their vows have their hands bound with cloth; lives and customs both entwined. 

 

The Reception

The Reception shall be hosted near to the Ceremony.

Following the ceremony, the celebration shall move to a dinner featuring cuisine of both Balianese and Haeseni origin. The couple shall observe a number of post-ceremony traditions from both cultures, along with dancing and revelry.

 

Gifts are not expected, but will be gladly accepted.

She smiled, happy to been invited despite being in the halls of the All-Father.

The Grand Princess of Kusoraev grins brightly as she receives a personal invitation at the steps of the Haeseni palace.

Callista Kervallen beemed with glee, exited for her sister figure cattie to be married! "i must bring something for the couple! but what... hmmmm" she says as she thought on what to bring

"-tch. Barclay? I thought I'd made it rather clear that I've given up such a name - all with it it's frilly fanciful mockery and garbage." 

 

"... wait, who even is this woman?"

[PrimnyaQuorum 1037]

A Tired, Blonde Weiss-Vuiller feels a grin grow as he reads the invitation - a grin that soon vanishes as he mentally recalls his bank account's balance after taxes. His shoulders slump down and he resigns himself to acquiring a gift fit for his fellow Blonde after the wedding - perhaps something to do with Beets?
