and that was entirely different
Their words are pledges, earnest and ardent, and Amalia watches with tears in her eyes. The rings are beautiful - a fascinating touch from their original world, more permanent than the usual strings the girl is accustomed to. She watches and wonders and loves and aches, because it is a relief, an inspiration, to know that through all the hardships they have faced Remi and Ronin have bloomed and found love. It makes her feel that there is hope. For them. For the world.she wanted to b e l o v e d
and that was entirely different
For her.
"Friends, family, Lady of Stars. Tonight, before you and before the gods, Remi and Ronin have made four vows. They have promised to nurture and grow their love, that it may thrive and bloom. They have promised to cherish the lives they share, no matter what hardships they may face, to lift each other every day with love and support. They have bound themselves together in life and death, and have promised to keep each other even until the afterlife, while cherishing every minute before. And they have promised to hold these promises forever.
"Let all who have witnessed express their blessing of this union by calling yea!" She waits for the cheering to crescendo and fade, her own voice roaring among the rest, a vibrant smile on her face. There are tears in her eyes, happiness, adoration; she had not expected to enjoy this process as much as she has.
Amalia's reverent, pious heart squeezes as she says the last words, glancing once again at Safrin before making the proclamation. "With your blessing and with the grace of the Old Gods, it is my honor and delight to present to you all the married couple - Remi and Ronin! Remi, Ronin, you are invited to seal your love with a kiss- and just a kiss!" she tacks on, grinning, her cheeks glowing a little at the joke. "Save something for the honeymoon, eh?"
Stepping away from the newlyweds, Amalia ducks out from beneath the canopy, leaning over to speak to Safrin. "Thank you for coming," she murmurs, adoring. "I hope... I hope the ceremony was adequate. They deserve every blessing."
And with that, Remi and Ronin are officially married! Feel free to post <3
