Onyxien Family/Kisharianda/Roleplays/Weddings
After a short time had passed, Isolde took her daughter’s side, as both parents began to walk her down the aisle. Kisharianda’s steps were short but constant as she walked, her heart raced faster as she got closer and she swallowed hard. From the very first moment her eyes seen him she had fell completely in love him, from the first touch they shared she knew he was the one, and from the first kiss she knew she would never want to kiss anyone’s lips but his again. She truly loved him with all her heart and soul and their union was not only special but a magical one.
Her hair was pinned tightly around the pearled headpiece, long reddish curl came down caressing her face barely touching her shoulders .She wore a brilliant silver necklace with a tear shaped diamond, her sister had made sure to send as a gift for this day. Long sating gloves adorned her slender arms covering up just above her elbows. The dress was made of pure white satin perfectly designed with pearls and shimmering gems. Silk straps came up and tied around her neck, and strands of pearls hung loosely tying one side of the material to the other leaving her back bare down to the small of her back. The dress caressed her chest tightly revealing her cleavage in a respectable manner, at the front lustrous pearls danced on the material as she walked with her father. The material hugged her waist tightly with a ribbon that tied at the back of the dress and hung down the six foot train behind her which was held up by two beautiful little girls.
Finally facing Cenarious her lips curled into a soft smile and her father turned to him and bowed like any man would before a King.
“On this day I give you my daughter King Cenarious, may you care for her and love her as her mother and I have” he turned to Kish and nodded at her. As a long tradition for the Onyxien family, daughter’s would kneel before the attendants and receive their father’s blessing for everyone to witness.
Kisharianda’s mother stepped back and gave a half bow before the King, and the crowd chatters turned into whispers and Kish knelt before her father and bowed her head.
“Kisharianda on this day I bless you and your union to this man, may your bond be blessed and your love be as deep and free as your mother’s and I, may the gods above grant you a fruitful life and may you live in peace and in harmony with those around you” taking her hand he help her back up and leaned into her to kiss her cheek. “I couldn’t be prouder of you then I am now Kishy” he whispered, swallowing back his own tears of joy. Her father had always called her Kishy as she grew up but it had been years since she had heard that name cross her father’s lips and she choked up even more.
Taking the silken from Master Ugyel, Jethrow put Kisharianda’s hand in Cenarious and wrapped the rope around their wrists lightly and now turned to the people attending.
“People of D‘Hara and honored guest, on this day I give the first daughter of my house to King Cenarious to be wed may this day mark a new beginning of a life here in D‘Hara” he said loudly for all to hear and turned to his daughter with a proud smile

Duchess of Port Raviel
Kisharianda’s eyes looked into Cenarious, the moment was overwhelming and everything around them was quiet and perfect as the guest admired their King looking at his Queen. He was handsome and dressed like a King his attired was finely pressed and he stood tall and proud. The wind blew the storm rage banner over the grounds on this day to honor Raviel as well as his wife, together the couple both turned to face Master Ugyel has he begun the ceremony.
“Friends, family … nobles of D’Hara, We gather here today under this tree which is the symbol of pure love between Raviel and his departed wife. May their love and strength shine down brightly on this couple and guide them down a path of love and honor. May their union bare fruits of many children and their love be as long and everlasting as Raviel’s love for his wife. May the strength of their love be a symbol of new beginnings here in D’Hara and guide us to be as pure and faithful as their love is for each other” Master Ugyel turned and lit two candles and placed it on the alter before Cenarious and Kisharianda. The old man continued to talk before the multitude of people but his words had become but small whispers to her ears as she was completely lost in Cenarious’s deep hazel eyes.
Cenarious smiled and squeezed her hands into his. It was a magical moment although they stood in a multitude people all she could see and hear was the man who stood before her. Once again like the first touch they shared, a wind picked up around them and the warmth that was felt at that moment was Raviel’s. It was his way of showing them that he was here in presence to witness one of his descendants son unite in matrimony to his beloved. Cenarious’s hand tightened around hers from the storm only visible and felt by the both of them and they both smiled. Taking a shaky breath she began to speak her vows.
“I have thought long and hard of the words I wanted to share with you today but the truth is” she paused and her eyes began to water “ there is no words to describe how I feel for you my love” and Cenarious lips curled proudly. “But what I want you to know is that from this day forward I promise to love you and honor you as your wife. I will stand behind you in all that you do and cherish and obey you not only as my King but as my husband. I will help you build your hopes and dreams and see to the people of this land for as long as you rule as King. I promise to give you as many children as you desire and care and nurture our family like the rarest pearls of this earth. If you should be stricken by sickness I promise to be your voice and your reason and to stay by your side. My heart beats in unison with yours from this day forward and will continue to beat for as long as you are by my side” she squeezed his hands into hers and a wind blew lightly over them both.
“I give myself to you my King, to journey together through this life, and may my love for you follow you to the eternities and protect you in all that you do” she blinked and her eyes released a pool of tears
Cenarious stood memorized at her beauty and her words. Slowly his swallowed holding his head up high before all who witness their vow exchange. And Kisharianda listened as Cenarious began to speak.

Confessor of D'Hara,
Duchess of Port Raviel
As Kisharianda approached him Cenarious felt his heart beat stronger and his palms begin to sweat. She was even more beautiful then he could have ever imagined. Surely no man was as lucky he was. As she reached him, a smile graced her lips, and for that second Cenarious could feel his heart in his throat and he had to consciously swallow it back down before he choked on it.
Though he heard Master Ugyel's words he wasn't really listening to them, all he could focus on was his glowing bride and her beautiful eyes. Sensing it was time for him to speak, Cenarious spoke in voice well used to making itself heard over the thundering chaos of a battlefield.
"For those of us born of this land on which we stand, today is truly a joyous day. A day of new begins born of the old. It was in this very harbor that the Great Dragon Raviel the Stormrager was born, it was to this very spot that the Stormrager brought the mortal woman he saved from the sea so many centuries ago, and it was in the earth where this great tree now grows that he buried her, the mortal love of his eternal life. Though their children ranged far in the many lifetimes that followed, eventually they did return, and now one of them has become King of this land. It seems only right for this marriage to begin upon the hallowed grounds consecrated by the love of my ancestors. This is the land of which my family was born, born of a love eternal, and now that same love can encompass one more pair and that love that dwells within us shall be strengthened by it and made whole." Continuing to stare into his love's eyes Cenarious continued in a voice meant for his loves ears alone. "I'm truly not one for grand speeches or flowery words. I can only speak what it is in my heart and hope that it will be enough for you."
Clearing his throat softly Cenarious spoke his solemn vows, "I grant you all that I am and all that I will ever be, I will love you for all eternity with every fiber of my being, and I will cherish our children so completely that they will have the kind of life that men can only dream of."
Extending his arm Cenarious took the sudden weight of the leaping MoMo with ease. In his waiting palm MoMo dropped the ring he had been keeping for his master before leaping down to watch the rest of the ceremony with little Selena. Carefully placing the ring on his bride's finger Cenarious couldn't help but grin as he realized that today was finally the day that she would be his wife. No mad rulers or calls for rebellion would put this day off any farther, it was finally here.
"This ring is but a small symbol of our love, a representation of the entwining of our souls from now to eternity. From this day forward, we are one." With those final words Cenarious pulled his bride into his arms and kissed her with a passion that only those who have truly felt love will ever feel. And when their lips met, the world fell away, and there was only Kisharianda and the man she loved.

After their embrace and the guests clapping and throwing rose petals, Kisharianda looked at Cenarious "I too have a gift for you" she smiled and raised her hand at the guard who stood close by with the hand carved box.
Leaning over she opened the box and reached for it's contents, revealing a magnificent sword. The blade was the length of her arm and the width was almost intimidating to the eye. The hilt curved over comfortably as her hand gripped around the cold hard steel, the details of the sword showed long hours of forging and careful precision as the sword was forged once again to fit the hand of a man. At the center of the hilt was an oval shaped black ore melted deep within the metal and secured to take any blow, on the other side another stone set in. The markings and details of the blade told a story of it's own and had sentimental value only known to the Onyxien family. Her father had given her this sword and his father before him and for as long as Kisharianda could remember, the sword was a symbol of strength and power passed from generation to generation of Onyxien's. The sword was much more heavier then she could remember and with force she lifted the sword upright before herself and reached for the sheath.
She presented Cenarious with it's sheath as it was customary, and then bowed her head and offered the sword to him. Cenarious took the sheath and his eyes carefully studied the heavy leather carving of the Stormrage's crest on one side and the Onyxien family crest on the other, heavy leather tassels hung from each sides.
"My gift to you my love" she bowed her head and extended her arm out "May it bring you protection against your enemies, may it give you strength if you should ever feel weak, and may it always remind you of me and the causes you fight for" she looked up at him and smiled. Cenarious in turn grabbed the sword from his beloved's hand bringing it before himself as he admired the metal and the engravings. He held the sword to his chest and bowed to his Queen.
With the exchanges of vows and gifts coming to an end, Kisharianda turned to the crowd and asked for the Dark Count Bowie to please present himself. It wasn't but a moment after her request that Bowie stood in the crowd with Selena in his arms. "Count if you would" she motioned for Bowie to join the couple at the front, Bowie made his way to the newly wed holding his daughter in his arms proudly.
"Today not only do I start my new life with our King but we both start a new way of life with our newly adopted daughter Selena who will be known to all as Selena Stormrage" she looked over at Bowie and watched Selena for a few seconds in silence smiling as she held on to Bowie's hands and amused herself. He had dressed her in a dress fit for a princess, and the little bonnet caressed her head snuggly she was absolutely adorable. She walked over to Selena and presented her with a small silver necklace with the carvings of the Ironsides crest into a pendant and her eyes looked straight into Bowie's.
"She will be part of our family and raised as our own, but she will carry you close to her heart until the day presents itself that she may seek you again" with that Kisharianda placed the silver necklace in Bowie's hand and smiled at him.
She took her side by her husband and Master Ugyel stood before them with his hands held up high.
"I present to you people of D'hara Your King and Queen, Cenarious and Kisharianda Stormrage" the guests stood once again and cheered at the new couple. Kisharianda would have never dreamed this to be as perfect has it had all been, the lump remained in her throat but it was only from all the happiness she felt inside this very moment.

In the corner of her eye, Nastasia noticed the man sit and stopped. Curiously she turned and her breath caught in her throat, and then an emotional whimper. Mathias sat directly beside her. He was as handsome as she remembered and her heart hammered in her chest. He never gave her a second glance, why would he? She was a stranger to him now.
Thankfully she had already been crying, therefore the emotional catch wasn't as obvious. She turned away to look on to the happy couple, the moistness in her eyes now coming forth for a different reason.
She was now incredibly aware of his presence, and she could not for the life of her ignore him.
Too late she had realized her true feelings for him, but he had already left D'hara before she could even tell him. She had known the moment he had returned, but she had not been able to contact him due to circumstances.
Now that everything had calmed… Was it still too late? She looked to herself and sniffed. Of course it was… he would not know her. Not to mention, after the ordeals he had been through, he would be extremely guarded of anyone. How could he have feeling for her now, she was no one to him.
Deep down she was so angry at how everything turned out. She looked around, behind him and could see some of the animosity directed at him. She narrowed her eyes at them, daring them to continue. Some lowered their gaze others looked ahead to the couple instead.
She desperately wished she could turn back time, all so she could tell him she did love him in return. Her hands trembled and she looked ahead to the ceremony that was continuing. Her heart squeezed so tightly, it was becoming physically painful to simply sit there even breathing was becoming difficult. She closed her eyes, biting her lip to still the quiver to them, and tried to calm herself.

With the ceremony concluded Cenarious led his new family down from the dais.
"Please enjoy yourselves my people! This a day of great joy for Us all! With the harvest coming in there is food for everyone so please eat your fill!" Cenarious said loud enough for even the peasants in the back to hear.
Gesturing to the soldiers arriving with bags of fresh bread the commoners began to cheer as they were given food to stuff their hungry bellies.
"Lord MoMo!" Cenarious shouted. "Let the celebration begin!"
At his master's command Lord MoMo began to jump up and down and smack the musicians until they began to play. Turning to face his master, MoMo smiled a little monkey smile, showing his fangs a bit as he proudly showed off his having gotten the music playing.
