[minarichankun 206]

 

In this season most fair and blessed, the noble House of Aldersburg and the esteemed House of Von Berkhoven are joined in sacred accord. By the will of Heaven and the blessing of kin, their bloodlines shall be entwined through the holy rite of marriage. Let the bells ring, let the banners fly, and let all rejoice—for love, deep and unwavering, hath triumphed. Their vows shall be spoken, their bond sealed eternal, and peace and joy shall blossom henceforth between their noble Houses.
