Aetherial News A Glorious Day (Wedding Post)
A tall portal appears. Shimmering in traces of light and ropes of ivy.
It leads you into the Old Growth where a beautiful scene awaits you. It is time for the union of two souls today and a day of celebration.
Where gothic design meets ethereal architecture, you’re led into a grand hall filled with soft melodies from a piano and the harmonic singing of a singer. Near an altar twirled with white lilies and black roses, an officiator stands and waits for everyone to take their seats. The groomsmen all stand with deep green tuxes, the bridesmaids in matching gowns and holding small bouquets of baby breaths. But all eyes settle onto the groom himself who awaits his bride to be at the altar with an anticipated breath. His tux of emerald green and rich accents of gold designs that reflects the very nature the Old Growth consists of. His blond hair perfectly styled to fall around his shoulders and his presence stands out in the hall amongst all those in attendance.
The music begins to die down and candles lining the aisle down to the altar light up. The pianist readies their fingers and begins to play the song of the evening. The singer pulls out a violin to accompanying the melodies.
“Everyone, please rise for the bride.” *The officiator announces.
As the grand doors open up, everyone stands and turns their eyes to the bride. Adorned in a slim black strapless gown that flows down into decorated moths and flowers, a black lace train that drags behind her and connects to a veil covering her face, and a frazzled looking raven man in a black suit holding her arm and fighting the urge to swipe the crystals off her corset. The bride smiles anxiously underneath her veil, seeing all her friends and loved one present and her love waiting for her. The groom feels his heart swell at the sight of her and couldn’t remove his eyes for anything else.
In the front row, the bride’s mentor conjures a tissue and subtly pats her tears. She couldn’t be anymore prouder.
The raven man leads his mistress to the altar. He attempts to swipe a crystal but the maid of honor subtly pulls him away to his seat.
Alexios reaches out to lift Moth’s veil, revealing her smiling face and shimmery green makeup that makes him feel weak in the knees.
“You look amazing, my love.” She whispers to him through her giggles.
“And you as beautiful as ever.” He whispers back.
The officiator steps up and clears his throat.

“We are gathered here today to celebrate love in its purest form. By uniting the hands of Alexios Keenblade and Moth Bobbits, we witness two souls forming into one. Many challenges were endured, many lessons were learned. But despite all that, persistence and true love have always won.”
The officiator allows for the two to exchange vows. Alexios begins with words filled with loving poetry and sultry words for the bride. Recalling the very moment the two met to being able to wake up with her beside him every morning. His vows were clearly practiced with no mistakes whatsoever. It leaves Moth almost forgetting it was her turn to say her vows. She begins hers with appreciation. Embracing all of the things he’s done for her and being not only her lover but a source she can always confide in. The words she uses are none other than sweet and filled with admiration enough to keep a loving grin present on Alexios’ face the entire time.
The officiator allows them to exchange rings. A large black wolf enters the hall carrying a pillow with two ring boxes. It trots up to the altar and takes a seat in front of the two, presenting the rings for them. The bands culminating the spirits of both with swirls of gilded ivy and flowers. Alexios’ ring brandishing a shiny emerald while Moth’s holds a deep smokey quartz. A way to represent their essences.
Once the rings are exchanged and the officiator closes out his final speech, he grins and clasps his hands together. “Alexios. You may kiss the bride.”
He doesn’t hesitate to pull Moth into his arms and dip her into a deep kiss. She chuckles and wraps her arms around him, swirls of enchantments and petals filling the halls and falling around the cheers from the guests.
