RP:The union of Etilus and Bella at Majestic Gardens - Rynvale.

From HollowWiki

Madigan awaits quietly for the ceremony to commence. She's never witnessed a wedding before and was pretty excited about attending this one. So excited that she dressed in her cerulean silk gown for the occasion - an outfit she rarely ever slipped on.

Etilus hugs his love, Bella. He grabs her by the hand, interlocking them with a tight grip as if he feels they should never be seperated. With the crowd gathered, he nods to each as they pass as to say thank you without actually speaking the words. They slowly walk to Ranok, who is stationary beneath the trees a short way from the fountain. As they reach him, he releases his grip and turns himself to face Bella a few paces in front of Ranok.

Hanan didn't see Lita... which annoyed her a bit. She wouldn't even be here if... humph. She took a seat in the back, slipped a map out of her inner coat pocket and laid it on the seat to her right. That was one way to save a chair when you don't carry a purse, right?

Bella eyes are around with excitement, mostly because Etilus was holding her to him, as they make there way to Ranok, a little shudder of excitement runs down the pixies wee body as she didn't quite know what one does at a wedding, but if it involved Etilus it had to be good.

Shyzdar leans back against a tree and looks at the crowd.

Madigan lightly clears her throat and chews on her cheek in anticipation.

Ranok really hadn't had much time to pull this together. And he didn't really know how to perform a wedding. But Bella had asked ever so insistantly, so the smith bowed to the request. The garden needed little sprucing up to come up to par for the ceremony. Spring had swept through the island of Rynvale, causing all the trees to erupt into a riot of color and scent. Whites, gentle pinks, and lavenders graced the trees with green growing leaves budding out from among them. In front of the fountain Ranok stood, the water arcing overhead in a more directed stream, its workings tinkered with in a hurry. It spreads over the position where he stood, avoiding the pair about to be wed. Others in the front row would get to be a little damp, however. Dressed in his very best, and with his most sober and down to business expression, Ranok awaited with a book in hand. Around, Rynvale's Guard were pressganged into bolstering numbers, looking professional, and providing a bit of safety to the ceremony. Given that there was no best man or bridesmaids, also pressganged into service was Draeta. Dressed in a pretty white dress over its metallic body, it stood stock still, holding a bundle of flowers in black tendriled 'hands'. In service of the best man, atop a flat topped perch was an inky black blob, Meek, with a bowtie taped to its front. The blob was terribly aquiver with excitement, but it was on its best behavior. An incline of his head as the to-be wedded pair approach, and he begins, "Ve gadder here dis day to vitness de onion uf Etilus und Bella." He addresses the pair that came before him, "Are hyu prepared to undergo dis?"

Bella eyes up Etilus and nods her head vigorously " oh yes sweetie pie, without a doubt!" giving Ranok a huge grin and a wiggle of excitement.

Etilus Looks deep into Bella's eyes, "I have been ready to do this since the moment I met her. Please proceed, Ranok."

Hanan gulped once, then glanced back at the door, suddenly awkward. Nobody told her it would be ruttin' Ranok officiating. She figured it would've been one of those poncey elves.

Ranok said to you, "Etilus, please say you vows to Bella. "

Etilus reaches out and holds Bella's hands, speaking while looking into her eyes. "My dearest Bella. I couldn't imagine life without you. Every last detail of you makes me quiver even when I think about you, let alone when I get to hold you in my arms. I vow from this day forth to be honest, faithful, and protect you and our relationship by any means necessary. I love you so..."

Ranok said to Bella, "Bella, please say you vows to Etilus. "

Bella face turns bright red and pulls her hand out of Etilus` to clutch him tight around the middle and squeezes him " awww sugar beard! I love you more then all the chocolate in the world and I promise to keep you happy and,, and safe and well love you all the time!"

Ranok said to you, "Den do hyu, Etilus, veesh to take Bella to be you lavfully vedded vife? "

Etilus Looks around the crowd with a smile plastered on his face. He Stares at Bella for a moment, taking in her breath-taking features. He then turns to Ranok, "I do..."

Ranok said to Bella, "Und do hyu, Bella, veesh to take Etilus to be you lavfully vedded husbund? "

Bella just carries on gripping Etilus tightly around the middle " do you even have to ask that question sweetie?" giggling as she turns to give Ranok a nod " I do I do I do! "

Ranok receives the bride's ring from Draeta, who silently and smoothly places it into the palm of the smith's hand, and gives it to Etilus. "Place it upon her finker." The other ring was fished out of the inky blob's body, with some difficulty, to be given to Bella, "Place it upon his finker." When they did, he would incline his head slightly, and clasp his hands, "Vith de powers invested upon me by de Rynvalian Military und de kity, Hy now pronounce hyu man und vife. Hyu may now kees de bride." On the cue of lips touching, the fountain behind would explode into a spray of prismatic mist and color, a little something rigged up for just such an occasion.

Hanan was not good at these. She glanced back at the door again. Lita? She owed her a drink. She considered calling her "sugar beard" when she did so.

Etilus holds the ring in his right hand while grabbing Bella's hand with the other. He slides the ring upon her ring finger.

Bella squeals and eyes up the ring for a moment. She then follows suit, slipping the ring onto Etilus' right finger.

Bella pushes her lips against Etilus " love you sugar beard!"

Etilus grabs Bella close to him with his head tilted slightly. He leans toward her and places a slow, passionate kiss on Bella's lips, He pulls back a bit and says, "I love you more than life itself."

Shyzdar claps his paws together nonchalantly.

Ranok indicates that the two could then take their walk together down the aisle. Had he managed to get a band, they would have begun playing, but such as it was.

Bella said to Ranok, "i Thank you sweetie pie!"

Etilus pushes his body toward Bella and turns to face the crowd. He interlocks his right elbow with her left and they walk down the aisle to begin their new journey of life TOGETHER.

Bella just giggles madly as shes pulled along down the `aisle.`

Etilus said, "Thank you everyone for attending our wedding. I now hold a special place in my heart for those of you that have gone through this wonderful experience with us."

Madigan follows Shyzdar's lead and claps along, congratulating the couple on their union.

Shyzdar nods.

Ranok waves to the guards around, each of which looked a little uncomfortable in their dress uniforms in the spring heat, which in Rynvale terms was rather warm, and waves them out. The ceremony was done, and thus his inclusion on the matter. Whether Etilus and Bella wished an after wedding party, and where, was entirely to them.
