Natures Magic - The Wedding of Tuvoria and Wyllow

[Grazilda]

For someone who was good with maps and gathering info, I was embarrassed to admit to myself that I was lost. I could not find any clue as to the whereabouts of Tuv and Gawain. Moreover, I wondered if this wedding was a top secret that I could not find anyone who knew about the location of the wedding. I figured I might have asked the wrong people in town. I mean, I asked some drunkards and wenches in the tavern but none of them knew about Tuv's wedding venue.

Frustrated, I left the drunkards fend for themselves and tried to have another go around town to look for even the slightest clue as to where Tuv and his bride to be would be. I had this gut feeling that the cathedral would lead me the way, but logic told me I already went there and saw no clue. However, this nagging feeling inside me wouldn't stop until I go back to the catherdral.

Leaving nothing to chance, I went back to the cathedral expecting nothing, when I saw a new announcement. "It's at the southern shore!" I exclaimed out loud as my voice echoed throughout the silent cathedral. I blinked and realized I made a scene. I breathed out a sigh of relief realizing that the only other person in the cathedral was an altar boy. I smiled apologetically and left the cathedral.

With a smile on my face, I proceeded to the inn where I had been staying for some time. At least now, I had a definite location, although I still yet had to figure out where was the southern shore.

As I went to the inn, I realized that it must have been my lucky day as she saw Gawain together with Tuv, Wyllow and Willow. "I found you all, at last!" I exclaimed with great joy.

[Gawain]

Gawain smiled as Tuvoria joined them, and he greeted his cousin but before he could answer Tuv, Wyllow came downstairs to join them so Gawain greeted her as well, answering both at the same time.

"That sounds good to me, my horse and cart are out the back in the stable and lets eat after that... I guess we should go up to your room and get your things so... lead on!."

Just then, Gawain spotted Grazilda walking into the inn, a friend of both Tuv and himself, he knew she was here for the wedding and was glad to see her.

"Grazilda! Its great to see you again!"

[Wyllow]

She laughed, because there wasn't much to be carried out. 'There are only a couple packs.' She said with a chuckle. And it was then that she saw the door open and believed she recognized the woman that entered, however the name escaped her. She heard Gawains greeting. Oh yes! That is her name! She said to herself.

'Hello Grazilda! So good to see you again.' She smiled, then looked to Gawain and Willow. 'Actually, one of us can run up and get our belongings,' She indicated either herself of Tuvoria then continued. 'It will only take a moment, then take the packs with us on the way out.' She turned to Tuv with a look to ask what he thought without saying anything. She figured this way everyone that had gathered so far could settle in to a table, without it causing too much trouble, and they could get comfortable straight away at a nice sized table that would suit them all.

[Tuvoria]

"Well it looks like the whole gang is here. Hi ya Gazilda. Gawain why don't you escort the ladies to a table while I stash Wyllow and my stuff in your cart. Then you can show us around town before we and the women split up until the service tomorrow."

Having said that Tuvoria gives Grazilda a friendly hug before heading upstairs to retrieve the afore mentioned belongings.

[Grazilda]

I smiled. "It's great to see you again, Gawain!" Then I hugged Tuv. "Please, let me help. I'm no guest but a friend. Let me buy food for everyone tonight," I offered as Tuv took care of their things.

I winked at Wyllow. "So...How does it feel to be married soon? I'm sure you're excited!" I said and waved at the tavern keeper for our food. "I'll pay for everyone's food," I told the waiter.

[Wyllow]

As soon as Tuv disappeared, the group seemed to move toward a large table that would accommodate all. The atmosphere in the Inn was warm and light as people around them chatted. Taking a seat she smiled to Grazilda as she winked. She didn't know the woman as well as the others did, but that didn't mean she didn't feel like she did.

'Oh my.. ' She replied. 'If I think on it too much, I get so nervous.. So, I have been trying not to!' She let out a laugh. 'We were baptized today!' She offered. That in its self was news. 'I am not sure how I am supposed to feel.' She chuckled then glanced to Gawain and Wyllow and added.. 'But, of course I feel great about that, I mean!' She then grinned. She had always had a knack for foot in mouth disease. 'How have you been?' She then asked. A young women appeared looking to take orders, but Tuv hadn't returned yet so she politely said she would order when the other part of their party arrived. The others, however, she waved to for her to ask them.

[Grazilda]

"Congratulations on your baptism!" I told Wyllow.

In reality, I have this phobia when it comes to weddings. Twice, I have been a bride but never a wife. However, it was not a good idea to tell Wyllow about that. I may have been unlucky with the wedding part, but I always wished that every bride and groom be happily married.

"Now, only think of happy thoughts and more happy thoughts!" I suggested.

"I've been the same. Not too good, but not too bad either. I suppose things could get worse so I'm just counting my blessings, so to speak," I replied at her question.

[Tuvoria]

Tuvoria returned from outside having stowed his and Wyllow's belongings in the back of Gawain's cart. Kissing Wyllow on the cheek he takes a seat and nods towards the barmaid that he is ready.

"I hope I didn't keep everyone waiting to long. Has everyone ordered are did I delay that? So Gawain and Willow what is the order of things for tomorrow?

[Wyllow]

She smiled, then laughed. 'Yes, happy thoughts happy thoughts!' It was then which Tuvoria returned. 'No, you weren't long at all, dearest.' She smiled at him. 'Yes, lets order!' She said with gusto. 'I think I will have what I had before. It was absolutely delicious.'

Attention then turned to either Willow or Gawain. She figured it would be simple enough, but was unsure. The thought struck her and she knew that sleep would probably be quite evasive tonight.

[Gawain]

Gawain placed his order, and then listened to the conversation. He smiled as Tuvoria returned.

He listened as Tuv then Wyllow spoke.

"Well as this is the first wedding ceremony that I will officiate, I think as Willow has officiated one before, it might be best if she gives us an idea of the order of things for tomorrow."

He then glanced at Willow.
