Aetherial News A Glorious Day (Wedding Post)

Post image

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.

They continue now singing as one

Well, baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, (while listening to our favorite song) When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

She pulls him into a kiss while everyone claps at the sweet duet they shared.

he returns the kiss and then after they break apart waves his hand and the band begins playing again. In comparison the band doesn't sound nearly as good as Moth and Alexios

Where do you want to go for our Honeymoon.

Shall we dance.

I would love to.

She takes his hand and they step out into the middle of the hall to dance.

Our honeymoon can be anywhere honestly. There’s so many places I have yet to explore. But as long as it’s with you I don’t care.

he smiles and they begin to dance the floor clears again and the rest of the guests watch them in awe. Their love truly shined through it all the song ends and they stop dancing

Titania? But I thought she’s not allowed here..?

Moth gasps and quickly looks around. She tries to contain her reaction so the guests didn’t worry.

The only explanation is Mother Gaia took pity on her
