By the Grace of Almighty God, and with the blessing of the Archducal Court of Alba, the House of Helvets and the House of Aldersberg, each venerable in lineage and steadfast in honour, joyfully proclaim and make known unto all kindred, friends, and esteem persons of the realm, the forthcoming marriage and solemn joining in holy matrimony of

 

This blessed union shall be celebrated on the appointed day within the Cathedral of the Fifty Skulls where vows shall be exchanged before God, before gathered witnesses, and before the peace of the Crown. 

 

All those who have shared in the friendship, loyalty, or confidence of either House, and all who wish the couple well, are warmly invited to witness the ceremony and to join thereafter in feast and festivity held in their honour. A grand tourney consisting of three tests of skill and brawn will herein follow suitly after, a joust upon horseback, a melee of fisticuffs, and a mock battle. 

 

May this marriage stand as a covenant of peace, a bond of noble affection, and a testament to the good ordering of Providence.

 

Given under the seals of both Houses, in the year appointed by divine favor. 

 

Lord George Arthur Aldersberg

Earl of Dover by Letters Patent

Baron of Owynsburg by Letters Patent

Clementine - elder sister of the bride-to-be - helped their lady-mother, Countess Helaine Aldersberg, in the preparations for the day to come...

A young Augusten stared at the missive with curiosity. What was all this about marriage and matrimony? At least she would get to see the pretty Lady Mayor in an even prettier dress... not that dresses were her concern. Surely not.

[ErosTea 1084]

Henri seethed from his empty bed. "Everyone is getting married except I, what malfortune has been hexed upon me now?"

[Kabaffahp 566]

Theodora smiled excitedly as she read over the missive, looking over the shoulder of her best friend Roswyn. Seeing that her younger brother was to be wed, she clapped her hands together in excitement. "Oh, this is wonderful! First my own wedding, then my brother's the month after, and hopefully soon it shall be yours." She gave Roswyn a playful shove on the shoulder.

Anne Margery Alstion was quick to look over her handiwork, readying the tiltyard that hasn’t been much in use for quite a while. All she wished was to be happy for the Lady Mayor, although  the girl’s mind was troubled as of late. Nevertheless, she knocked upon the chamber doors of the Archduchess to give her first word of the letter “Jane, she’s ought to be married finally. Please find some time in your busy schedule to make time for this..^”

Unbeknownst to anyone else, Constantina had prayed to the good Lord GOD for Henri's misfortune every night since the day he gifted her a pumpkin carved with her image.

 

. . . But that very night, she only prayed for the good fortune and happiness of her younger sister's upcoming matrimony! She, like the rest of her siblings and parents, was aflutter in the Castle Highbury in preparation for the grandest ceremony Alba could surely ever see.

At the side of her dearest of friends, Theodora Helvets, she read over this missive with the most joyous of expressions. At the shove of a shoulder, she did look to the woman that read over her shoulder. "It is the season then, I do suppose! How wonderous it is to be alive at such a time of celebration, and how it does fill my heart with such splendor!" The missive soon found itself perched upon the redhead's lap as she began an excited ramble to the brunette. "-Might you think I could even have flowers styled within my hair at mine own?"

The bride's Nonna prepares a gift in advance!

[celina 145]

Eugénie Helvets excitedly crushed the missive between her hands, permanently creasing the paper where her fists would've closed. She had been eagerly awaiting the day her older brother would wed, and that day was now one sleep closer. 

[Cubicita 640]

Helaine- the mother of the bride, prepared anxiously. Much was meant to be arranged for her youngest daughter and her soon-to-be son in-law. "Soon, all of our children shall be wedded off... and then it is just us, George."
