(literally)
to hear what happened at the wedding.
Well once the toasting was done and a few people went back for thirds, fourths
and CRUSH size courses, we got ready for the cake. It was a huge cake, and from
what Lister says by some twist of fate it looked alot like the cake served at
the bachelor party. On the top of the cake was a minature fountain with two
beautiful sculptures of Spirit in her wedding gown and CRUSH in his tuxedo
standing undernieth the water falling from the four spouts of the fountain.
CRUSH and Spirit each cut out a piece of cake for the other. CRUSH slow got
down on his knees so that Spirit could reach up to him. They both started to
move the cake to each others mouth. When she was close enough,Spirit instead of
putting the cake in his mouth, put it in his face then gave him a big kiss.
CRUSH promptly returned the favor by smearing his cake on Spirit's face; this
will definatelty turn out to be an interesting marriage. There was of course
the usual flashing of cameras as the cake giving made its way into the wedding
album as many others had before it - with a very messy bride and groom.
As the bride and groom went to clean up everyone was able to go about
socializing. The first thing I noticed was that Sharice had lost track of
Nightfox and had settled on following after the tall Scot - Highlander.
Circuit Breaker was finally able to take a break from making sure that
everything at the wedding was ok and was having a fun time going around to meet
everyone with Jaez and Sheena. Lister and I.B.A were exchanging anecdotes
over mugs of Lager.
Wondering where our illustrous mage, Nightfox, had gotten off to, I went to look
for him. I found him with a large group of elves including Dark Elf, Nex and
Raven. By his side was what looked to be a small floating wine keg. The others
where all filling up there glasses with a clear sparkling liquid that looked
supisciously like water. He was saying.
" My fellows it is a tradition, and a very ancient one at, that on very special
occasions a drought of Tamerolin should be had. What I have here is a vintage
of that blessed beverage that is over 5000 years old. So know ye well that what
you are about to drink will probably be one of the finest things you shall ever
taste, let alone the fact that each glass of it is in itself priceless."
"So let us wish well the marriage of Spirit and CRUSH, may they forever find
that special happiness in each other."......
They drank and each person seemed a little more remorseful yet happier and
lighter. Nightfox had told me only one thing about Tamerolin, that it was a
magical drought from a plant that was ages gone. He said that it also tasted
like water to any but Elves.
When everyone was done from the effects of the elixir, Nightfox continued.
" I would also like to raise another toast. This one goes out to the people of
Omega Island, may they ever be free, and to Dark El and his band of people that
helped to free those people from the rule of the likes of Tirandor and Quention.
May they all meet with success and freedom."
Again there was silence as each person seemed to be more affect this time thann
the last. Each person looked to have gained new strenth and life, yet they all
seemed to reach a small inner peace. It was just beautiful to watch. They then
went their ways back to the wedding, each seeming to walk a little lighter than
before.
Everyone kept on mingleing until Circuit Breaker announced that it was time for
the throwing of the bouquet and the garter. All of the women were first told to
gather beniether the small arch like bridge that had been brought out. Spirit
slowly went to the top of the bridge a looked out over the gathered women.
Since almost everyone in attendence was not married, there were a good many
beautiful and dangerous women gathered to catch the bouquet.
Spirit spoke "It is costom that all elligable women gather together at this time
to TRY and catch the bouquet that will signify that it is they who is to be
married next. The men are to also gather to catch the garter that was taken
from the bride. The lucky man who does catch it will be the next man to get
married. Of course just because they do catch them does not mean that the man
and woman must marry each other."
With this Spirt turned around. After small bit of looking over her shoulder and
weighing the Bouquet, she released it behind her into the milling crowd of
women. Up it went, twirling in the air and loosing a few flowers. In the crowd
women could be seen moving to and away from the now falling bouquet. Because of
the sun behind it the bouquet was hard to see. All I knew was that it was going
to land far from me. Then I saw Sharice, Spirit's cousin moving towards the
place where it would mostly likely land. The women around thay area where
holding up their hands both to try (some very half heartedly) and catch the
bouquet and to shield their eyes from the sun. Sharice got close enough to
accidently move Roxy's hands out of the way and causing the Bouquet to fall into
the much lower hands of Raven who seems to be very surprised at what lands in
her hands. The women then cheer for her, many of them in congradultions others
in thanks for being the one to catch it.
CRUSH then came up to the bridge with a nice wooden chair for Spirit to sit in
while he removed the garter. The men then started very slowly and reluctantly
replace the women benieth the bridge. Many having to be forced by the women to
go there. CRUSH, when seeing that everyone was there, went about gently
removing the garter from the leg of his new bride. When he done he raised his
huge form over the gathered men. On top the tall bridge CRUSH's head had to be
atleast 15 feet above the next tallest man, I believe it was Norm. With great
extravance CRUSH showed the gathered men the garter, many of them visibly
cringed. Then he turned around, and looked back at the men to judge the
distance to them. Turning his head back around he brought his hand up to his
head and flicked the garter out to the crowd. It promptly caught of his right
side horn much to his dismay. After a small while of laughter and apologizing
CRUSH again readied himself. Again his hand flicked to throw the garter, this
time taking care not catch his horn, it sailed out and to the left side of the
gathered men. At this point it took a dramatic and obvious turn away from the
gathered magicians and headed towards the center of the crowd. Not having magic
to keep it away from them, the gentlemen (and I use this term extremely loosely)
tried to move away from it. Seeing that they where trying to escape, the men at
the edges pushed back towards the center causing more then a few men to fall
over each other. The garter landed softly on the stunned fallen form of Lister.
When he realized what had happened he gave a rather abrupt scream of surprise.
There was much accompanying laughter to his cry.
Spirit then took the to the edge of the bridge and said, "oh there is something
I forgot to mention, it is custom in both mine and Craig's family for the man
who caught the garter to place it on the leg ABOVE the knee of woman who caught
the bouquet as far as he may dare to go!!!"
With this there was a great cheer from the men, there was also a large commotion
as Jaez and CB helped Sheena who was carrying the protesting form of Raven on
her shoulder. It was rather amusing to see Sheena carry someone so easily who
was easily a foot taller than her. Sheena continued to carry the protesting
Raven up the bridge to the top a place her in the chair.
There were yells to how lucky a man Lister was to see Raven leg up close. There
were others reminding him that she was a mage. At this Lister looked at
Nightfox who smiled cruelly and shook his head NO. Lister would be getting no
magical support from Nightfox. Nightstalker could be seen not very far away
scowling at the now fearful rigger. Lister approached the seated mage who
promptly glared at him. The cringing Lister then looked at Claw who also
refuse, Lister would be getting no magical support. I.B.A. then spoke up and
said - Remember, Above the knee!! Which promptly got him glares from Lister,
Raven and Nightstalker. Raven then stuck out her right foot infront of Lister.
How slowly and fearfully removed her shoe. Then proceeded to place the garter
around her foot and tentively move it up her leg.
A chant rose up in the crowd "All the way up " "All the way up". To
this
Lister motioned for them to shut up and proceeded to move it even more tentively
up her calf. When when he finally reached her knee after what must have been a
full minute there were a few whistles of appriciation. Raven glared at the
crowd and then at Lister who quickly pushed the garter JUST ABOVE her knee and
quickly stepped away.
After this came the normal posing for pictures of the bride and groom then each
of the brides maids and ushers. A few of the whole wedding party accompanied by
ones of the women of the wedding party and the men. While this was being done
more food was brought out and the table with the presents was brought forward.
Well I have to go eat now, I'll be back later to tell you what the newly weds
got and also cover the dance afterwords.]<<<<<
