Bell Chimes & Moon Rabbits [Wedding]

A

s expected, Aryth delivered the most beautiful heartfelt speech that in a way, she felt, came from a place only between the two gentlemen. The world around them had disappeared, leaving the two of them within the other's sights. As it should be. Surprisingly, Grigori followed his suit, weaving words and sentiments in his own fashion that was perfectly fitting of the hardened brute of few words on a normal occasion. Nimue's eyes drifted from one man to the other, knowing that this certainly was a once in a lifetime love and she was fortunate to be able to even bear witness to it. Silently to herself she wished that she might one day find someone who gazed upon her the way that the two of them did.

Once Grigori had finished, she released a trembling breath, giving pause for everyone to simply absorb what had just been shared. "Let's see if I can get through the rest of your ceremony before crying a river!" She laughed, sniffling as she collected herself. Nim turned to gather up a braided ribbon that matched the colors that surrounded them. She lifted one of her paws and held it out in front of them, awaiting them to place their paws on top of hers. She took the ribbon in her teeth and wrapped their paws together, lifting her head and addressing the audience. "This ritual of pawfasting is an ancient tradition that symbolizes the your union and I'd like for you to imagine that every beautiful syllable that has come out of both of your mouths have been interlaced into this braid...every ounce of love spoken and whatever love you are unable to articulate is right here, binding you together forevermore..."

Nimue then turned to Grigori and smiled warmly as she addressed him. "Do you, Grigori Hardin, do you promise to fulfill your vows of protection, peace, happiness, and a future where Arythmetik has an endless supply of books to tuck his nose into?" She blinked at him expectantly and upon agreement, Nim would move her attention over to her best friend, more than ready to let him be swept away by the man of his dreams. "And do you, Arythmetik, promise to fulfill your vows of beautiful poetry, stories, and kisses continuously shared with Grigori for the rest of your days?" She waited for Aryth before looking to them both, regarding them a bit more seriously this time. "And when the days are dark and you have naught, but the other to lean on in times of sorrow...will the both of you see each other through and remember the depths of the love you feel for one another?" And when they agreed to this, her expression only brightened as she lifted her voice, "Well then...with the Divine along with friends and family as our witnesses, I would like to proudly pronounce you married and introduce to the world...Mr. and Mr. Hardin!"
