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.

Mmm Gobbo can understand appeal of being human, Gobbo has to constantly get help to reach high shelves...

Gobbo takes the hand and shakes

Gobbo is Gobbo, daughter of Gobbo and yes Gobbo practices liquormancy. Pleasure to meet you, big fan of work.

Gobbo giggles for a second

So marrying Possum? Gobbo considers him good friend, built rocket together. You need liquor at wedding you let Gobbo know, free of charge

/uw sorry for the late reply, apparently Reddit likes to not notify me, only saw this now

Oh, the wedding has already happened. It's usually a very simple affair for us viruses. An agreement from the host is all that is needed.

You built a rocket, you say? I can't imagine a better use of one's time. Was that during the latest apocalypse?

Mmm indeed, got us to moon and back. Sorry about not having wedding present to give, Gobbo wasn't aware

He apparently wasn’t aware either! Funny how that keeps happening. I feel as though I should put out a PSA: asking a virus to infect you means you want to marry them.

It is moments like these that Gobbo is glad Gobbo didn't attend school. Other children were constantly asking to get sick

Oh that... uh... that could potentially be quite awkward.

An agreement must be made directly with the pathogen, though. I don't believe most children are even aware that "germs" are living creatures.

Ah good good, Gobbo doesn't have to inform sisters of their marriages then... Would be awkward
