Natures Magic - The Wedding of Tuvoria and Wyllow

[Gawain]

Gawain nodded as he listened.

"Myself or Willow can point out things as we head out of town. Shall we head out now?"

He glanced towards Grazilda. "If you would like to tag along as well, just grab your things you are welcome to stay overnight in my home also."

[Tuvoria]

"Sounds good Gawain. I am ready if the ladies are."

[Wyllow]

She smiled to Willow and nodded. 'Aye, we do!' she chuckled then. 'Oh yes, let us be off then.'

[Gawain]

Gawain nodded as he listened and glanced across at Grazilda. "Perhaps if you settled things up now and go and collect your things. I'll bring the cart out front and we'll wait there for you." Grazilda nodded and settled the bill and then went upstairs to collect her things.

Gawain looked at the others. "OK, Lets go, shall we? I'll bring the cart out from the stables out back and you can either come with me to the stables or meet me out the front."

Gawain then headed out the back to collect the cart with everyone's belongings and brought it to outside the front of the inn.

[Wyllow]

(I hope it is alright if I move this along)


After a good nights rest and nearly a whole days worth of cheerful talk and relaxing meals, it was time to get ready. She thought of the evening before and smiled. It had been nice to tour a bit and see the sights. And in a way she found it helpful so that she could get a feel for the layout. In the end, she was most glad when her head finally touched that of a down pillow, allowing for it to cradle her head. She had stared up into the darkness and let her mind wander before falling into a deep and undisturbed sleep.

A flicker of nerves could be felt as she pulled on the clean white cloth gown. Her gown wasn't much, but she had been careful to pack it gingerly for their journey. It was simple and to look upon it, it didn't really strike her as a ceremonial kind of outfit. But it was to her liking, and of her personality perfectly. They had known that white would be their symbolic color. She suddenly thought of orange blossoms and acorns. It made her smile and dream of the future untold.

She took a couple of breaths to focus her mind and not let her nerves steal any precious moments of the evening before them. They would arrive at the lake, together, for their blessed union into matrimony. Again, she felt her stomach turn. Wringing her hands, she decided she was as ready as she was going to be. Exiting the room where she had chosen to get ready, she was glad to have been able to take the moments of quite in. She liked people, but she couldn't trust herself to be fussed over as that would indeed increase her nervousness. The strange thing was that deep down, she wasn't nervous at becoming Tuv's wife. No, that wasn't what the nerves were for. The nervousness was the fear of attention being on them. Afraid she might fall on her face or something outlandish, which she knew wouldn't happen, but it could.

She wasn't certain how they would be arriving.. whether or not they would walk or take a cart. All she knew is that the moment she laid her eyes upon her groom, it would all be alright. That he would give her the strength needed to see them through anything they would endure in their future.

Looking outside, the light was beginning to wane. The sun was starting its magical descent. It was time to leave.

[Tuvoria]

Tuvoria had enjoyed the trip through Paz and the time relaxing for bed with his cousin. He had never had such nerves or difficulty sleeping, even during his days of hunting werecreatures from the BloodClaw clan. He knew his future lay with Wyllow and he could not wait for their joint life to begin. He awoke as normal before the sunrise. Getting cleaned up he stepped outside and found a nice spot by the lake to watch the sunrise. The morning dew on his bare feet and the sounds and feel of nature coming awake and welcoming the new day helped to center his thoughts and bring a sense of peace to him. After the sun had fully crested the horizion, Tuvoria headed back inside and put on a kettle of water for tea. As the tea was brewing, he began to get dressed into his white uniform. Once dressed he looked through his pack and brought out a special item that he had secretly packed away. He was glad that it was still in great condition. Finding a reflective surface he quickly fastened the orange blossom to his jacket color. He smiled at the symbolic gesture knowing that hsi bride would love it. Having finished getting ready, Tuvoria poured some tea, grabbed some fruit and cheese and sait down for breakfast as he awaited his cousin to escort him to the service.

[Willow]

Willow had a lovely sleep, she awoke and got ready for the ceremony. Before she dressed in her dress-robes, Willow made breakfast and sat and watched the day wake-up. It was a beautiful day and she was looking forward to the ceremony to come.

Finishing up, Willow dressed in her dress-robes and collected a few things she would need. Glancing outside, she looked out for her ride to Gawain's house. She hoped he wouldn't be late. Seeing the cart heading her way, Willow went outside and said hello to groundskeeper. After helping Willow into the carts seat, the cart headed towards Gawain's house and the location of the wedding. Willow and her groundkeeper discussed what they needed to do before the ceremony i.e. chairs, flowers etc.

[Gawain]

Gawain had enjoyed the lovely evening catching up further with everyone. The next morning he had risen, and made breakfast for everyone except Willow who was at her own house. After breakfast, he went outside to gather some of the orange blossoms from his orange trees. He arranged them into decorations for his cart and also a bouquet for Wyllow and a small boutonniere for his cousin Tuvoria and gave them those items as his gift to them.



He joined Willow at the location by the lake to discuss the final arrangements before heading back to his house to clean his cart and then decorate it with the orange blossoms he had picked earlier and some white ribbons. As the day had now had progressed further towards sunset, he went upstairs to change into his robes and rejoining the others downstairs he he looked the others and smiled. "Well, shall we head to the lake now?"

He beckoned to them to follow him as he then started to head outside to his horse and cart.

[Grazilda]

For a split second, I forgot where I was as the aroma of delicious food woke me up. I realized that I was with Gawain's group for Tuv and Wyllow's wedding. I smiled. "Weddings and nice breakfast! What a wonderful way to start the day!" I hurried downstairs to join the rest for the sumptuous meal prepared by Gawain. "Good morning, everyone! Here's to a wonderful day ahead!" She greeted as she raised her cup of hot klahua and ate her breakfast.

She scrubbed herself clean for the wedding and helped Gawain in decorating the cart. "These flowers are lovely. Wyllow is surely going to be a lovely bride!" She let out a happy sigh for the couple.

That evening, she dressed up in a simple but lovely dress, as she didn't want to outshine the bride. She joined the rest in the cart on the way to the lake.

[Tuvoria]

Tuvoria followed his cousin out of the house as they prepared to head towards the ceremony site. Tuvoria paused as he looked at the transformed wagon and the decorations that Gawain had put upon the cart.

"This is just absolutely lovely Gawain. You really did not have to do this, but I am utterly thankful for your gift of these flowers and decorations. If she will permit it, I would like to help Wyllow up to sit next to you up front, and I will ride in the back."

Tuvoria then stepped up next to the front where he could help his lovely bride get into the cart for the ride over to the ceremony site. As he did so, he remembered to remind himself to breath as he was constantly taken back by the sheer beauty of how Wyllow's eyes and hair stood out so loveling against the white of her wedding gown. As he thought about it, he truly knew that she was indeed the one he was destined to live with forever and it was that thought that kept the butterflies in his stomach down to a mild roar.

"Grazilda my friend, would your honor me by riding up front with Wyllow to help her with her dress and flowers to ensure that she continues to outshine us all once we arrive at the wedding site?"
