Re: [RP]The Marriage of Arthur and Lynna

[Lynna]

Gawain takes the rings from Kenrich and places them in his hand and drapes his stole over his hand.

"Jah,

Bless these rings to be a sign of the vows by which this man and this woman have bound themselves to each other; through Christos our Lord.

Amen."

Gawain then removes his stole. Gawain takes Arthur's right hand and places it in Lynna's right hand.

Addressing the guests, he tells them that now the couple will read their own vows. He holds the rings out before Arthur and Lynna.

"Arthur, you may begin. "

[Lynna]

Arthur clears his throat. He looks briefly down, thinking about the vows he had written late last night. He takes her hand, and the ring. He starts to slide it forward on her finger, but not entirely. He stands straight, and looks at Lynna.

Lynna..

You inspire me to be a better person for you. To be a man who you can be proud to call yours. To be a man worthy of your respect and love. To be a man you can support, cherish, and adore with ease. You give my life meaning.

People search forever for that special someone.. that special kiss. But I no longer need to search because I've found that with you. I understand the word love in ways I never imagined. Every moment we are together, my love deepens for you. Every moment we are apart, my heart is filled with sadness and a longing until I see you again.

Today, I vow that the moments we are apart will be few, that I will protect and provide for you. That I will always be there. For I am meant for you, you complete me. You are my soul mate, today and forever more.

He smiles and slides the ring completely on her finger.

[Lynna]

Gawain listens and watches, he then turns to Lynna.

"Lynna, you may begin."

[Lynna]

Lynna took a deep breath in holding it a little longer than she meant to as nerves almost let her body forget what to do. Arthur took her hand and the words that followed were the most beautiful she had ever heard. As he slid the ring on her finger, after completing his vows she was trembling.

She takes the ring from Gawain then takes Arthurs hand in hers, sliding the ring halfway down his finger, she took another little breath in and out softly to contain her own emotion then begins .

Arthur, My Love.
From a relationship that took us many places, we have laughed and cried together and shared so much being in each others company.
You gained my friendship, my respect, my trust and eventually my love.
I will always treasure you as the person I want to share my life with.
I promise to always be faithful to you, to be honest and open with you.
Stand beside you offering strength and courage in whatever and wherever you choose to be.
I cherish every moment of a love that is pure and meant just for you.
I humbly open my heart and soul to you and will be there for you during the highs and lows.
From now and for eternity I would be honoured and proud to be your wife.

On finishing she beamed at him and slid the ring on completely, hoping her words came across as she intended.

[Lynna]

Myxti smiles when she sees her cousin Evan and his wife, Princess Brianna enter. It's been a while since she saw them.

She smiled at Kenrich. He appeared (but she wasn't certain) a bit nervous to her and she enjoyed seeing that side of him.

Then she heard the noise and objection, and looked back. When she saw Donnor and Aasha she sighed. She had always liked Donnor, but she was a loyal friend and her friend hurting because of him. She vowed to be polite and respectful as this was Arthur and Lynna's day. She was not going to be that person known for ruining someone's wedding because she couldn't hold in her anger. She glanced over at Rain quickly very concerned.

Arthur had then cleared his throat and the wedding went on so her attention went back where it deserved to be.....the bride and groom.

[Lynna]

Gawain then takes both of their hands with the rings, joins them, and wraps one end of his stole around them in a symbolic knot.

"Now that Arthur and Lynna have given themselves to each other by solemn vows, with the joining of hands and giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife, in the name of Jah and his son Christos. Let this stole that I have wrapped around your hands always remind you of how now your lives and that of your family's have become knotted together in the presence of all of your friends and in the presence of Jah. Amen.

Arthur, you may now kiss the bride! "

[Lynna]

Arthur, you may now kiss the bride!

His nervousness and shyness have resurfaced. He shakes it off, and pulls Lynna close to him. He cups her face, looking into her eyes. He kisses her passionately and tenderly. He whispers his love for her against her lips before parting. I love you, my wife.

As they pull away, he takes her hand in his, lacing their fingers together. He faces the guests and says loudly: Arthur and Lynna are now wed! He smiles broadly to the guests.

[Lynna]

Smiling, Gawain clears his throat.

"Please kneel for the blessing.

Most gracious Jah, we give you thanks for your tender love in sending Christos to come among us, to be born of a human mother, and to make the way of the cross to be the way of life. We thank you, also, for consecrating the union of man and woman in his Name. By the power of your Holy name, pour out the abundance of your blessings upon this man and this woman. Defend them from every enemy. Lead them into all peace. Let their love for each other be a seal upon their hearts, a mantle about their shoulders, and a crown upon their foreheads. Bless them in their work and in their companionship; in their sleeping and in their waking; in their joys and in their sorrows; in their life and in their death. Finally, in your mercy, bring them to that table where your saints feast for ever in your heavenly home; through Christos our Lord, you lives and reigns with you forever and ever. Amen.

Jah the Father, Christos the Son, Aristotle the prophet, bless, preserve, and keep you; the Lord mercifully with his favor look upon you, and fill you with all spiritual benediction and grace; that you may faithfully live together in this life, and in the age to come have life everlasting. Amen.

Please rise."

Gawain then turns the new couple around, placing his hands upon their shoulders.

"Friends and esteemed visitors, I give you now a new creation. When we came together today, these two were indeed two separate creations. Now with Jah's blessing, they are no longer two separate creations, they are now indeed one entity. Let us now celebrate their union."

He smiles, then waits for the newlywed couple to walk down the aisle.

After praying, Arthur takes Lynna's hand in his. He kisses the back of her hand then leads her down the aisle. After getting to the doors of the church, he lifts Lynna up to carry her in his arms to the carriage.

Woo hoo! We're married! He could hear Lynna laughing at his antics. He made his way to the carriage, and placed her inside.

See everyone at the reception! He could see the guests coming outside. We have some things to take care of before heading over to the Castle. Don't let the party start without us! He winked at everyone gathered at the doors. He could feel Lynna hitting him playfully at his misleading comments and he laughed.

[Lynna]

As Arthur and Lynna walk down the aisle arm in arm followed by Kenrich, Grizelda and Logoth, Gawain says a small prayer before following everyone down the aisle and out of the church.

As they leave the church, the clouds break basking them in radiant sunlight as two doves come winging by. Gawain raises his head towards the sky, smiles, and makes his way to the reception party at Coventry Castle.

OOC: Coventry Castle has been prepared for all guests. Wedding Reception

(1st Forum -> The Glen -> [Closed RP] Wedding Reception for Lynna and Arthur)

[Lynna]

Gabby and Pieter stand as the newlyweds go by, both of them softly applauding. Gabby blows them a kiss and winks, happy for them both.
"Well, my dear Nutkin... shall we depart?"

As they were leaving, Gabby steps over to Gawain.
"Beautiful service." she says simply with a smile. As they walk out Gabby drops some coins in the widow's box.

[Lynna]

Kenrich smiled as the cermony finished and followed out giving alittle pat on the back of Arthur. He thought to himself now comes the fun he gave a little laugh at the thought. Though was extremely happy for them he in a way was alittle sad, he had gone to so many of these over his time, yet he himself had yet to find love. Ah well the thought my time will come someday as he made his way out head towards the Party.

[Lynna]

Watching as the door busted open she rolled her eyes very tempted to go over and pull him to his seat by his ear for being so loud..

Giving Donnor a look as she raised her eyebrow..

[Lynna]

Rain turns toward the loud entrance when everyone else does. Giving how she's been feeling lately, her reaction surprises her. For an instant, she is reminded of Beeston and then only one thought crosses her mind. There is a little of the hurt and sadness, but it is quickly overridden by a maternal instinct. She knows what she has to do and isn't happy about it, but she smiles reassuringly at Myxti and turns her attention back to the ceremony.

She stands and watches Arthur and Lynna go by, and she grins broadly then laughs as Emma mimics the people around her, clapping her chubby little hands. Once everyone starts to make their way out of the church, she hurries as best she can through the crowd to the door with Molly in tow, quickly handing her the little girl. "Take Emma back to the room. She doesn't need to be here anymore."

[Lynna]

The sudden entrance of Donnor startles Liza and she turns with everyone else. She quickly looks towards the front of the church to see Arthur's reaction and can see from the expression on his face that he wasn't pleased. She sighs and turns to Wolf, about to ask him to if they should do something when Arthur clears his throat and the wedding gets back on track. Only then can she see the humor in the situation and she bites the inside of her cheek to keep from giggling. She keeps her eyes glued on the couple in front, knowing that if she catches Wolf's eye, she would explode in giggles and Arthur would never forgive her.

After the wedding, she stands with everyone else and claps softly as Arthur and Lynna make their way down the aisle, smiling to see her friend so happy. She and Wolf wait their turn to leave their pew then make their way outside to await their carriage. As he hands her in, her eye catches his and she blushes, her thoughts on the ride here. She smiles at him and leans towards him to whisper in his ear. She laughs at his expression and scampers into the carriage, looking forward to the reception as well as the ride.

[Lynna]

The look Arthur gave his brother before she could get him to a seat was not missed, she had a feeling Donnor would get more than the love bite she'd given him in punishment before the day was up. Once she had him sitting, she did her best to pay attention, not that he was making it easy. She'd slipped a hand around his waist, her reasons twofold. It kept them close, and foiled his attempt to pull her onto his lap during the ceremony. The only drawback was his hands, which had begun to wander a little too much for comfort. His mumbling about boobie rings did nothing to reassure her. Damn that Timi and her loud mouth. Then again, she did have an unwitting hand in getting them together. Shaking her head, she whispered; There ain't no rings in there...sos keeps yer hands still...

Glad they were at the back so no one would notice his preoccupation, she sighed as the wedding ended, thrilled to see Arthur and Lynna looking so happy. The reception would be easier, unless her propensity for trouble found them there, which was a distinct possibility. Linking her arm through his as they rose to leave, she raised a brow as she saw him stuffing something into his pockets on the way out. Curious, she tried to catch his eye even as she pulled him out, but he was studiously avoiding her look. Moments later they were snuggled together in the carriage, his head on her shoulder as he dozed during the ride.

[Lynna]

Watching Arthur swing Lynna up to carry her out of the church, Gri laughed through the happy tears that had started basically as soon as the wedding party had assembled at the front of the church. Gawain's service was wonderful, Arthur cut a very dashing Groom figure, while Lynna positively glowed the whole way through.

Cheering and waving at the departing couple's carriage, Gri makes her way through the swarms of well wishers to join her sister and escort in the second carriage and continue on to the reception.

[Lynna]

Tasite smiles as she watch the bride and groom leave the church. Moving towards the carriage....Tas see the footmen opens the door and extend his hand to help her up into the carriage...Thank you. Tas leans back in the seat as the carriage heads for the reception.
