Raelyr says, "Then shall the circle be honored that power and radiance might enter our circle for the good of all beings"
<Prunus nods >
<Raelyr looks to Strad>

Raelyr says, "Marriage is a serious matter, the foundation of life and the keystone of family. With full understanding of this, Groom and Bride have come here today to be joined as one in marriage"
Raelyr says, "will the groom please state his name and declare his intentions"
You say, "I, Prunus, come of my own free will and with all honor and devotion to bind in marriage to Alcedonia"
Raelyr says, "Some may ask at this time "who gives the bride in marriage" but that is not our way. A woman is not property to be bought and sold, given and taken, I ask simply if she comes of her own free will"
Raelyr says, "Alcedonia, is it true that you come of your own free will and accord?"
<Karinae would find giving the bride away odd as well.>
Alcedonia says, "yes that is true"
Raelyr says, "it is the oath of my stewardship to witness and record in the annals and in memories the events of this day so that those yet to come will know of the vows and commitments made"
<Prunus looks to Raelyr>

You say, "Alcedonia, I take you as my wife..."
You say, "I pledge to share my life openly with you..."
You say, "To speak the Truth to you in love..."
You say, "And to honor and Cherish you all the days of our lives..."
You say, "I promise to love and tenderly care for you, "
You say, "in all the storms and fair days we may weather together..."
You say, "for as long as we both shall live..."
You say, "I promise to respect you needs..."
<Alcedonia gets tears in her eyes>
You say, "to support you in your endeavors.."
You say, "and to encourage you as an individual.."
<Karinae smiles warmly at such beautiful words.>
You say, "Thorough all the changes in our lives."
You say, "With these words...I pledge my love to thee.. <looks deeply in Alcedonia's eyes>"
Raelyr says, "Alcedonia, will you please, in the presence of all your family and friends gathered here, make your promise of marriage to Prunus."
<Prunus smiles >
<Alcedonia gathers herself>
Alcedonia says, "I come before you with a true heart. I stand before you with love in my soul."
<Alcedonia puts her hand on his chest above his heart and puts his hand on hers>
Alcedonia says, "Whatever you do, wherever you go... here is where I'll be"
<Alcedonia puts her hands on each side of his head>
Alcedonia says, "Whenever you find your mind clouded, here is where I'll be, guiding you, comforting you. No matter what choices we'll make in our lives, this is what we'll be"
<Alcedonia takes his hand>
<Prunus smiles as he looks her in the eyes>
Alcedonia says, "Together....... for aeons"
<Alcedonia smiles at him>
