Gilvore Sneaksie and Sasabee Sasiknak

[Orchid Lagoon, on the Beach]: Where the guests are gathered....near the food *grin*

A group of chittering monkeys swing through the branches overhead. They head east excitedly, and make themselves comfortable in the branches directly above the altar.

(Some time passes after the guests have gathered near the altar)

[Orchid Lagoon, Palm Grove]
Tall palm trees shelter this sandy grove from the westerly winds, their leafy fronds providing shade to guests who gather here. Waves crash against the nearby beach, and a faint melody floats on the breeze from that direction. Logs have been scattered in a half-circle along the sand, facing a carved driftwood altar. The altar is flanked by a pair of leaping sapphire blue dolphins which hang suspended in the air. You also see a cloth-covered wooden crate.
Also in the room: Damaria, Philosopher Bordric, a stunned Enchanter Nevus who is lying down, Deagol who is sitting, Rinik who is lying down, War Hawk Mell, Marauder Kreathon, Forester Erlo who is sitting, and Drifter Anayia who is sitting.

The gentle beating of native drums signals the start of the ceremony.

>Kreathon fidgets nervously.
>Kreathon exclaims, "war drums? tis the goblin prince again!"
>Mell growls ferociously!
>Nevus says, "behave, Kreath"

Kreathon says, "i think 'es the ring bearer"
Rinik gasps!
>Rinik grins.
>Sorenne winks at Nevus.

The clank of swords greets the arrival of Gilvore as he strides down the aisle. His ferocious glare seems to promise bodily harm to any guest who causes trouble for him. His well-muscled figure adds credence to his unspoken threat.

>(Sorenne turns to face Gilvore and Sasabee.)
>Sorenne says, "True love is something beyond the warmth and glow, the excitement and romance of being deeply in love. It is caring as much about the welfare and happiness of your partner as about your own."
>Sorenne says, "Your marriage must stand, not by the words I speak today, but by the strength of your love and the power of faith in each other and in the Gods."

>Sorenne says, "Gilvore, Sasabee, please join hands, and kneel to receive the blessings of the Divine Ones."
>Gilvore clasps Sasabee's hand tenderly and draws her into his arms.

>Sorenne recites:

       "Sweet Faenella, Glorious Goddess of Inspiration
        I call upon thee to smile upon thy daughter,
        Sasabee Sasiknak
        Merry minstrel to downhearted spirits,
        Keeper of Gilvore's heart.
        Guide them in their adventure ahead and through all the years
        Let them greet each day with a song in their hearts."

>Sorenne recites:

       "Savage Trothfang, Dark God of War
        I ask thee to grant approval upon thy son,
        Gilvore Sneaksie
        Ruthless warrior, bloodthirsty and wild,
        Defender of Sasabee's honor.
        Strike down upon their enemies with your wrath
        Grant them strength and fortitude to face all obstacles."

>Sorenne recites:

       "Divine Ones, we invoke thee
        Gathered together today in love
        We ask thee to bless this joining
        Of Gilvore Sneaksie and Sasabee Sasiknak.
        Grant our heartfelt requests for this happy couple
        Join them once again in matrimony
        Let their life together continue to be fruitful
        May their union know joy, laughter and music
        Grant them strength in troubled times."

>Sorenne smiles as she motions to the side.

A young altar boy steps forward, carrying a silver tray, which he places on the sand in front of Sorenne. On the tray, two candles burn brightly. In the center of the two candles stands a single unlit candle.

>Sorenne says, "Sasabee and Gilvore, these two separate candles symbolize your separate lives, separate families and separate sets of friends. I ask that each of you take one of the lit candles and that together you light the center candle."

Sasabee and Gilvore each take a lit candle. Kneeling down, they join hands as together they light the single candle.

>Sorenne says, "The individual candles represent your lives before you first married. Lighting the center candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and also symbolizes the joining together of your two families and sets of friends to one."
>Damaria smiles warmly.

>Sorenne says, "When you first married, you promised to take into your care and keeping the happiness of the one person in all the world whom you love best. You vowed to add to your life not only the affection of each other, but also the companionship and blessing of a deep trust as well."

>Sorenne says, "Today, you renew those vows. Agreeing once again to share strength, responsibilities and most importantly, to share love."

>Sorenne asks, "Gilvore, do you promise to defend Sasabee in times of danger, to fight off her foes when they threaten her in battle, but above all, to love her truly and respect her individuality forevermore?"
>Sorenne gazes at Gilvore.
>Gilvore says, "I do"

>Sorenne asks, "Sasabee, do you promise to teach Gilvore the joys of music, to help him laugh and smile again after times of trouble, but above all, to love him truly and respect his individuality forevermore?"

>Sorenne grins.
Kreathon blinks.
>Rinik grumbles.
>Rinik mutters into the air something about Stupid monkeys.

A lively monkey jumps from the trees and bounds up the aisle toward the bride and groom. As he leaps into tree behind Sorenne he throws a large coconut at Sasabee's head! It narrowly misses and lands at Gilvore's feet. It bursts open in a sparkle of light. Gently cradled in the coconut two rings are bound together with a silken cord. The Ring Bearing Fashion Empath Mellisandre, quickly grabs the rings to keep them safe.

May the incorruptible substance of these rings represent a love glowing with increasing luster through the years. May the Gods bless these rings which you give to each other as the sign of your love, trust, and faithfulness."

Anayia gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.
