Kenrich wrote:Kenrich stood off to the side of Arthur as the ceromony begain, he looked out into the crowd of people some he knew some he had not. He was truely happy for both Lynna and Arthur, they were close friends of his and he admired them both for the leadership in the SG and just good people all around, always willing too help where ever needed.

Gawain59 wrote:Gawain acknowledges Arthur's answer.

"Thank you, Arthur."

He then turns to Lynna

"Lynna, will you have this man, Arthur, to be your husband; to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him for as long as you both shall live?"

Lynna wrote:Determined to ignore the din from the back of the Church Lynnas focus was on the words from Gawain and Arthur, she listen and looked deep into Arthurs eyes.

"I do"

Gawain59 wrote:Gawain acknowledges Lynna's answer.

"Thank you, Lynna."

Gawain clears his throat before proceeding. He turns to Kenrich:

"The rings, please."

Kenrich wrote:Kenrich heard his cue for the rings reaching in his pocket he pulled out the rings and handed them over with a smile

Gawain59 wrote: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. "

Arthur_loxley wrote: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.

Gawain59 wrote:Gawain listens and watches, he then turns to Lynna.

"Lynna, you may begin."

Lynna wrote: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.

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.

Gawain59 wrote: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! "

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.

"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.

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.
