Session Start: Sun Mar 18 00:24:05 2001
* Sahyber peeks her head out "ready?"
* Andur_Loire blinks at the irony of that statement.... "In two words... Hell yes."
* Sahyber laughs
* Richairn wishes Daylan would play the wedding march, so we can start the ceremony.
* Daylanark-Valyn sighs, mulling over those wonderful memories of slaying demons with the assembled party...
* Sahyber steps into the candle glow wearing a breathtaking, sleeveless gown of candlelite matte satin. The fitted bodice and crescent neckline are embellished with beaded Alencon lace and scattered with pearls. Alencon lace appliqués also accent the basque waistline down the back of the full skirt. The gown is designed with inverted pleats and the skirt flows to a chapel train encircled with a band of lace and inlayed with gold as is the
* Sahyber wears a two tiered veil of illusion scattered with pearls and secured by a crown of pearls and diamonds.... she carries a cascade of lilies, white and red tulips, freesia and trailing miniature ivy.
* Daylanark-Valyn gives rich the finger since he is playing the wedding march, in a better fashion.
* Sahyber moves up to stand by Andur and looks at Rich and smiles brilliantly happy.
* Daylanark-Valyn stands up beside Andur, electing himself best man.
* Andur_Loire about passes out from the sight, one he has missed for far too long....
* Daylanark-Valyn strums his guitar thoughtfully...refraining from vocals...
* Richairn casually raises a hand to his jaw, and resets it, so he doesn't continue his gaping, and starts reading from memory. "Friends, we all gathered here to see the holy link between two of the children of the light, Sahyber and Andur,"
* Andur_Loire silently thanks Daylan for the refrain... but never allows his eyes to leave Sahyber... almost as though gawking, and for all intent and purpose, he might as well be...
* Sahyber stares back listening to the music and Richairn's words but her heartbeat is singularly sounding above them both.
* Richairn drolls in a long tone about how great their lives will be, how the gods will bless them, and comes to the interesting parts, "Do you Andur Loire, take Sahyber to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, under the bounty of all that is good and all that is bad, forevermore,?"
Andur_Loire: Yes, Rich, I do. Of course.
* Richairn turns from Andur, actually feeling a little stupid asking questions that he already knows the answer to "Sahyber, do you take Andur Loire, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, under the bounty of all that is good and bad, forevermore?"
Sahyber: Yes, I do.
* Richairn turns back to Andur "Take your ring, place it upon her finger, and speak as you will."
* Andur_Loire blinks at Richairn's words as he takes the ring and slids it onto Sahyber's finger with a gentle slowness... "Speak as I will?" he draws a breath in thought...
* Sahyber looks from her hand to Andur watching him closely
Andur_Loire: Well, where do I begin with this? What should I say? Are there any words to begin to relay the feelings I have for you? If there are justifiable words for my deepest emotions, what are they? Will we, as a couple bound in wedlock, last till death?
Andur_Loire: What will happen to either if one were to disappear again?
Andur_Loire: These are questions I wish never to know answers to, but I am sure we shall discover them at some point in time. What I do know is this; I love you with everything that is me and I always will.
* Sahyber smiles listening to him speak.
Andur_Loire: And when I discovered upon my return to this world and to your arms that you had accepted the proposal of another, , it more than broke me. In all intent and purpose, you might as well have eviscerated my heart from my chest in that moment and used it for some sadistic, arcane joke. Believing me dead was the excuse. Did you see my body? Did you consult the divinations of gods? Was there a funeral? But I have forgiven you...as I always shall in all things...
* Daylanark-Valyn hates the part where they recount and forgive...brings back bad memories...
* Richairn grumbles, and considers even one more word excuse to force Daylan from his temple.
Andur_Loire: You see, Sahyber, I want you more than I do serenity, placidity, justice or wealth. I need you more than food or water, air or shelter. Without you to walk with me, I would be lost in the wilds of this path we call life, left to wonder the tempestual autumn and uplifting springs of existence, trying to find some hope of salvation or reprieve from the plagues of each day.
* Daylanark-Valyn looks at Rich, having plenty of reason to force Richairn from the mortal coil.
*** Richairn sets mode: +b *!*@*.lsn.net
*** Daylanark-Valyn was kicked by Richairn (important wedding holmes_)
Andur_Loire: I have found everything I have ever searched for in you. Security, love, kindness, comfort, honesty, devotion, wit and humor...among many other things... All of it I love, cherish and praise each morning I wake and each night I go to retire for sleep. No one makes me feel so alive and so worthy of being alive as you do. It's a feeling indescribable with simple words, really...but to best relay it... an insuperable feeling of warmth to my otherwise cold heart.
* Sahyber smiles looking at him through misty eyes. Holding his hands in hers.
Andur_Loire: We have survived the death of two worlds, the armies of Hell...and the fears of one another... No one could hold a candle of light in hope of ever breaking us from one another... and I stand firm in that belief that we are united by gods to last for Eternity. That we truly were meant to be standing here...
* Richairn is extremely impressed, and as so, the ring glows slightly, symbols being etched into it magically.
Andur_Loire: As one friend to another, as a pair of warriors with common interests and hopes for the world... as husband and wife, to challenge the world of all its obstacles and tear them apart with the devotion of each other serving as our shield and the alliance of our souls being our sword.
Andur_Loire: Now, I know I've hurt you in the past and I apologize sincerely for all the wrongs I have done to you and all the pains I have caused you. However, I cannot promise that you will go unscathed in our marriage. I will do things that shall upset you at times. I shall hurt you and make you question the things that bind you to me. It will happen. I know it will. But I do promise that they shall never be done with intention.
Andur_Loire: You're too precious to me to even think of bringing harm to, too wonderful for me to ever want to. I love you with all that is me and I need you at my side always like the earth needs the rains or the grasses and the forests need the sun. I've spent all my life to find one such as you.
Andur_Loire: Now that I have you, I cannot imagine my life without you in it in at least some small way. And I could not begin to recall the times I spent wondering where you were.
Andur_Loire: I do not marry you for personal gain, titles, and wealth or to be closer to you; I already have all of these things. I do not claim you as mine, as you are a free woman, bound only in the chains of your desires. I truly do love you more than life itself...and that is my only reason for this sacred union of holy vestment...
Andur_Loire So when I am asked by the people, did I say yes. Did I take you to be my wife in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, in good times and bad times, to have and to hold and to cherish until death does us part, I shall tell them no, I did not. I took that vow for a much longer time. And may Hell rain upon those who believe I speak otherwise.
* Andur_Loire draws his breath as he finishes.... He nods to Rich for continuance of the ceremony...
* Richairn bows deeply "Never have I seen such an expression of love, " and then turns to Sahyber, her ring glowing brightly, "Please Speak as you will Sahyber,..."
* Sahyber holds up a gold ring and speaks "a circle of gold unending as my love for you will be through all time" sliding it onto his finger she takes a deep breath and begins her vows to him....
* Sahyber looks to Andur speaking softly, the words flowing sweetly from her heart. "Andur, There is a realization between us that is so rare, so unique, that I feel only a few people in this world will ever know. You are my friend, as well as my love. I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I always knew we would be together, even though I wavered, my heart had been captured by a poet. Who am I to question a love that rode on shooting stars and roared like the crashing waves?
Sahyber: Somehow I know our souls are connected and now, standing here I am completed. We have a dream most people can never find. I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.
Sahyber: On this day I ask you, Andur, to share in this dream to love me forever and I will love you as part of my heart and my soul.
* Sahyber looks to Rich to signal her completion of her vows then back to Andur still smiling with tears in her eyes....
* Richairn takes both of their hands in his, and then places theirs together, both rings flaring bright blue, the golden sheen appearing as a hue only in the center "By these words, and rings, your hearts are bonded, as your lives and souls, Sahyber, and Andur, you are both now married. You may kiss the bride.."
* Andur_Loire smiles jubilantly as he leans closely to Sahyber, removing whatever veil she wears from between them as he lightly touches his lips with hers and allows the touch to linger a long moment....
* Sahyber touches his shoulders and seemingly bonded to him even before they met, feels the certainty of his kiss as if declaration of it in the kiss from her new husband
* Richairn turns his head away, looking at his herb bag, and pulling out some Viogrow, his most potent fertilizing plant, and starts wrapping a bundle for Andur and Sahyber, turning back as they continue "Ohh, you are both officially under the protection of the church, here, you might need this around three Am"
* Andur_Loire chuckles at Rich a bit, his knowledge of herbs prevalent in his background as a ranger... And he slowly pulls away from his new wife, though he still hugs her warmly to him.... "You always were an odd one at times."
* Sahyber hugs Andur listening to them talk...feeling light and as if floating on a cloud she smiles as she closes her eyes and rests her cheek against Andur's chest.
* Richairn smiles, handing the bundle to the now carried Sahyber, and watching them walk off "Enjoy the night… and morning...and rest of the day I imagine..."
Richairn: (ignore the carried part)
* Sahyber looks at the bundle curiously
* Richairn winks, chuckling.
* Andur_Loire sighs... "Well, I suppose we shall go spread the word... or simply celebrate..." he reaches with one hand to take the bundle from Rich before Sahyber gets hold of it...
Richairn: Celebrate friends
* Sahyber shrugs it off and smiles at him unsure of what just happened.
Sahyber: Good night and thank you.
Richairn: let others know of your union upon the `morrow
Richairn: Andur, one more thing....
* Andur_Loire blinks.. "Yes?"
Richairn: Sahyber's knowledge of certain things is limited severely. She has confided in such to me, so be sure to explain...
Andur_Loire: I'm aware, Rich...
* Richairn coughs, and then goes back to reading at his alter icicles immediately forming on him.
* Sahyber looks down and blushes profusely. "I thought confessions were confidential?”
* Sahyber is scared Rich will write a tell all book.
* Richairn was not told that in a confession, and he is trying to help Sahyber currently,
* Richairn doesn't write books,
* Andur_Loire shakes his head lightly and makes a few mental notes before scooping his bride off the ground, literally. "Come, young zombie queen. Off to la-la-land with us."
* Sahyber giggles
