Amelia had to fight down snickers at her place at the altar, watching Serra as she spoke. She was very... animated, the General decided. It was certainly a more interesting marriage rite than a typical speech, that much was for certain. She kept her smile on her face, though people closer to the altar could see the calm expression shifting a little, grin growing wry. Oh, this was fun, definitely.
Blossom had to fight back giggles as Serra spoke (Just like her!) before hearing someone whisper next to her. Blossom turned her head, recognizing the dark-haired boy with an inaudible gasp. "Lance! You came, too!" she whispered, grinning. She patted his shoulder, then looked back ahead. "We better be quiet. She's talking!" There wasn't any way she would let herself be put on the receiving end of Serra's temper. Wasn't pretty.

Tiny delicate wings beat the air.
A dove fluttered in, whether through the window or some other entrance, or perhaps it had simply materalized. But the little creature flitted above the heads of those at the altar and a pure white feather descended, falling between the two betrothed.
The dove settled on the altar and preened its feathers.

'I'm actually a little surprised myself..considering last night's party..was surprised I could even walk.." commenting in a hush tone. He actually was, considering at that party he was forced to down a bottle of Sake, had Vodka dumped on him, couple shots of Whiskey and countless cups of Martini..being drunk sure takes a toll out of you. He groaned, rubbing his fore head and eyes a little, recalling only up to the part he could remember..everything else was a blurr...
He lifted his head again and observed the rest of the ceremony.

Speaking of the party from last night, it was probably better not to talk about it from how Sophia saw the matter. She wasn’t exactly sure how much the prince remembered since he had gotten drunk early, but the lavender haired girl remembered quite a bit… quite a bit of things about Ephraim at the very least. Thus, whether she had planned to respond or not, Sophia couldn’t bring herself to, should she by mistake say something better left unsaid. It was better that she didn’t talk though, as this allowed her to return her attention to the wedding at hand.

It was so rude! Here she was, delivering her part of this lovely little ceremony, and people were laughing and talking! It was unheard of! ...Well, to be quite frank, she couldn't hear what they were talking about (they could very well be complimenting the fact that she'd gotten her pigtails styled before she'd gone!), but the fact that they were talking was enough to set a fire in her heart. For a brief moment, she turned away from the procession, holding up her hand in a 'hold it!' gesture to Tibarn as she bent down.
"Just a second... HI---YAH!" Reaching down and grabbing one of her leather slippers (The kind that made a nice loud 'THWACK' when she swatted a fly!), she aimed and threw it straight Arashe, who was not only talking, but laughing! Aiming straight for his forehead, she threw her little slipper with accuracy that would have made an archer cry and heard the satisfying slap as flying leather smacked against his forehead.
"That's what you get for interrupting! Elimine bless!" Standing up and realizing that he wasn't the only one talking, she didn't bother bending over the second time- with free toes, she was able to use her left foot to slip off her right shoe, flipping it up into her hand. With no further warning, the second slipper flew straight at Blossom.
She turned away, still satisfied at hearing that satisfying smack.
"Now, Ayra, I ask you now that we're no longer being RUDELY interrupted..." She cast a sour look back at the audience. "Will you stand by Tibarn, care for him, hold him only in as high a regard as he deserves, and love him until you kick the bucket?"
Gee, that sounded odd. Oh, well. Looking expectantly at Ayra, she ignored the dove. For now. God forbid, though, if it pooped in her hair!
"I do." Though Ayra was very, very tempted to give Serra a high-five (which she she could see that Serra had noticed, judging by her impish grin), she resisted the urge and merely sent a very poorly suppressed smile to Tibarn. Oh, they'd picked the right priestess, all right.

Ed ambled in just in time to see a pink-haired woman throw her slippers at Arashe and Blossom.
She blinked, bewildered. She had expected a peaceful entrance and a smile at the partygoers. A glance at the altar revealed she wasn't entirely too late, though she had missed a good part of the ceremony already.
Ed flicked her hair back, grinning at the scene. She believed the pink-haired woman looked familiar but she was too tired from recent events to get acquainted. Ed merely seated herself someplace, blending into the scene like a generic villager in a crowd of generic NPCs.

Oujay went past another set of trees and stopped to look around if he was anywhere near the wedding ceremony. "Oh man, I chose a great day to get lost," he said to himself. He bent down and place his hands on his knees. He closed his eyes and sighed. "Alright, let's keep on looking," he said to himself as he opened back up his eyes. He stood back up straight and started walking once again.
He was walking past trees and trees, and everywhere he went it looked the same. Suddenly he heard rusting from behind. He stopped and turned around ."What was that?" he asked as he looked around. "Must have just been my mind playing with me," he said to himself as he turned back forward and started walking again.
This time there was even more rustling behind him. He stopped again and turned around. "What is that?" he asked aloud as he looked around again. Oujay was starting to get a little scared, but he saw nothing and turned around once again. "Am I losing my mind?" he asked himself as he started walking again.
Oujay was still looking around as he could not find where the wedding was. "I'm probably late for it," he said to himself as he sighed. He opened back up his eyes and stopped on the spot. He was nearly about to fall in the river., but he stopped in time. "That was close," Oujay said to himself as he nearly got his suit wet. He looked up and saw the wedding just over the river.
"Hmm, how do I get over?" he asked himself as his eyes followed up the lake. He say a path of rocks near him. Oujay sighed. "Do I really have to use that," he asked himself, but he knew he had no other choice.
He started walking along the lake till he reached the rock paths. "Alright then," he said to himself as he jumped on the first rock. He was about to fall, but Oujay quickly jumped to the next rock and so on until he got to the other side of the river. "Finally," he thought as he placed his hands on his knees. "All this just to get to a wedding?" he asked himself quietly as he stood back up straight.
Oujay froze for a moment out of surprise when he saw a bridge across the lake at the other direction, the way he did not look at. He wanted to palm his forehead for a moment but he didn't feel like it. Oujay just turned back and started walking up to the Wedding.
He walked up and took a seat in the far back. He looked to find that they had already started the ceremony. "Well, at least it's not over," he thought as he brushed off some dirt off of his suit.

Blossom was about to giggle as Serra threw one of her slippers (with astounding accuracy, too) right for Arashe's forehead, hitting him square between the eyes, when she heard the whoosh of her other shoe, and before Blossom put the pieces into place, Serra's right-footed slipper struck right on her forehead. She nearly fell over in the surprise -- she had been whispering to Lance to tell him to be quiet, for goodness sakes! There was no point in explaining, though; most likely, Serra would just snatch up that dove that had landed and throw that at her if Blossom attempted that. So she just sat up, rubbing her forehead before slowly sliding down until she was invisible from the views of those at the altar. (It didn't take much to do that, at least, since she was so short.)

Lance froze. The girl knew him. But he had forgotten ALL about her. All he knew is that he had met her briefly once...why did she act like she had known him for a long time?!
Feeling his eyebrow twitch, he decided to just play along! "Ah! It's you! I didn't notice you at first!"
Maybe he could bluff his way until someone said her name...
Lance stopped talking immediately when he heard a loud smack echo in the clearing, and a blonde man was getting hit by a sandal. Lance figured he'd shut up now, but leaned in close and whispered directly into Blossom's ear. "Heh, wouldn't want to end up like him. Let's talk after this, okay?"
He wasn't sure if the girl had heard him though, because now she was rubbing her forehead and had sunk in her chair. Another sandal was lying on the floor. Eep, still as scary as ever.
Lance grabbed Blossom's free hand and wrote in her hand with his finger what he had just said, hoping she'd understand the message. He wasn't about to get hit by whatever the priestess now had left (the sandals were, after all, the tiniest objects the priestess held, and Lance didn't want to get the altar thrown at him). But he picked up the sandal, thinking he'd give it back later.
Finn, on the other hand, felt relieved over that the mood was pretty happy. He probably thought it was good riddance that the priestess had thrown a sandal at the blonde haired man, as Finn had taken note of his glare earlier. Leaf seemed to enjoy everything too, but Leaf had the sense to not laugh out loud at the blondie, fearing he'd suffer the same fate. Maybe Finn ought to give the priestess back her sandal later. Unless someone else picked it up.

Arashe's laughter was quickly stifled with a shrill shout, akin to an angry, PMS-ing teenager. His eyes widened yet again as the shoe went hurtling straight for his face. Son of a...
Thump!
Arashe's head flung back, hair flying up like in a shampoo commercial, the slipper spiraling in the air. Letting out a small groan, Arashe looked forward again, another glare at the pink demon at the front. Letting out only a murmur, Arashe continued glaring an angry glare at the harpy.What the bloody HELL? Why are most of the women in this blasted place INSANE?

Tibarn, already smiling, couldn't help breaking into a grin, though he suppressed the laughter that built in his chest. Oh, hell yes they had. His eyes fell to the two rings in their box, and to the diamond glittering on his fiancé's finger. His pointed ear twitched as he let out a long, slow breath, running his thumb over the diamond, Ayra's hands still resting in his own, and he once more fought the urge to kiss her. And it was strong, damnit. There had been few occasions in the past when he hadn't been able to kiss her at his leisure, and it certainly made him anxious to think that he had to wait for Serra's word to take her in his arms now.
But that was how weddings worked, and if it was anything like he'd heard, that kiss was gonna be all kinds of worth the wait.
Over his shoulder, he was dimly aware of Janaff trying his very hardest to remain upright, and the Best Man appeared to be fighting a losing battle with the forces of gravity. Clearly, Janaff had a bit more trouble suppressing the urge to become a hilarious ball of laughter on the ground than the rest of the wedding party, but Tibarn could not deny the latent hilarity of Serra's actions, nor the irony of the proud Ostian noble's unrehearsed and plainspoken ceremonial verse. Another smile tugged at his lips, and he shot another glance at Vah just as Lyre was holding her little wrist, encouraging her to wave at Mommy and Daddy. His smile spread again, feathers rustling in the wind and his golden scarf whipping wildly in front of the altar as he looked back at the woman who would, in mere moments, be his wife.

Bramimond quickly crept through the back of the woods before the procession started, but hung back as to let the other people talk amongst themselves. As the signal was given for the ceremony to start, Bramimond looked for somewhere to sit, but realized that he didn't really know whether he belonged on the bride's side, or that of the groom's. In the end he just looked for anyone he knew, and his eyes fell on a young girl with bright teal hair. He swiftly moved into the pew.
"Hello, maiden with the exalted blood of dragons. Have you been enjoying the festivities so far?"
Then Serra began to speak.
Immediately, Bramimond wanted to throw a pew at her with some sort of nigh-unused Super Strength. "Those are the sacred writings of the woman I loved, and you are despoiling them with your heathen tongue! Siiiilence!", he screamed in his mind, with such furor that the minuscule cork bobbing in the mental ocean of the strong emotions being thrown about like a a lavish pillow in a juvenile pillow fight became a roaring dragon, sending the formerly indomitable waves of mental energy sprawling off like rain pattering on a windowpane.
He glared around, looking to see if anyone else was as outraged as he was, but then realized that he was probably the only one with a relationship as....intimate....with the one they knew as the Goddess, but he knew as his dearest Elimine. He's frantic neck-whipping faded down to a dull turning motion, and then his eyes fell on Ninian's face, or the side of it, anyway, staring with an enormous amount of focus on the pair standing in front of the altar. Bramimond decided that his War of Cosmic Justice could wait, for just a little bit.
And then she began throwing the Holy Slippers of Elimine at the blasphemers that spoke in the Most Holy Of Homes.
"....Maybe she's doing alright.", Bramimond thought, fondly remembering such antics when Elimine and the other heroes were still with him. "Roland almost always had some form of shoe mark on him from her Fits of Holy Fury..."", he thought.
His attention snapped back to the present, out of the ruminations of the past. He saw the priestess, now redeemed(at least a small amount) in his eyes, continue the ceremony. He waited patiently, both watching the show of true love before him, and remembering the feel of true love, from many years before...

Alihi blinked, suppressing her laughter. Yup... that was the Serra that she knew, alright. She didn't bother to turn around to see who was hit by the slippers; as long as it wasn't Amara, then it wasn't as important. A smile came to her face and she remained silent, not wanting any random objects thrown in her direction as well. She reached over to Amara, placing the small child on her lap and wrapping her arms securely around her daughter. The small child gripped Alihi's arms tightly with her hands, grinning happily.
Alihi tried not to think of Ryuu, really. But being at a wedding ceremony while holding her (and his) daughter... It was hard not to. The tactician shot down the thoughts; they were unimportant, unnecessary... Thoughts that are nothing more than dreams can do nothing to change reality.

"Hello, maiden with the exalted blood of dragons. Have you been enjoying the festivities so far?"
Ninian jumped when she heard a voice coming from right beside her--her own voice, no less. Turning her head, she stared at the cloaked person next to her, her mind taking a moment to remember who it was.
"Hello, Lord Brammimond," she whispered, nodding her head in respect to the Legendary Hero who had resurrected her so long ago, that day at the Dragon's Gate. She'd never had the chance to thank him for that, as he'd vanished shortly after returning her to Eliwood's side, and to Nils.
Her attention was brought back to the wedding itself as Serra began to speak, silencing those who dared speak with her shoe. For fear of being the next target, Ninian remained silent.

Oh, good, they'd shut up. About time. After exchanging a quick grin with the bride and groom (about time someone appreciated her finer points!), Serra quickly cleared her throat and got back down to business. The ground was a little warm, but her bare feet could get used to it. She'd just ask someone to wash them for her, later. And get her slippers back, too! She didn't want to look impoverished. That would be a travesty.
"Um... right. So, as you swap the rings, let them sometimes remind you of your vow to love, be faithful and never give up on one another, however tempting it might be. So, Tibarn, please place the ring on her third finger... the left one, not her right hand! ...and repeat after me. Ahem."
She made a mighty fine show while she waited for him to move, and she sent a warning glance up at the dove, daring it to do something. She might not have a book in her hands, but she could throw the pillow the rings were on at that thing faster than it could finish staining her dress!
"I give this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness. Not hard, right? ...Don't repeat that last part. Or this part, either." Turning to Ayra, she beamed.
"So, every time you look at the ring on your finger, let it remind you that on... Elimine, what is the date today...? Oh, well. Remember that Tibarn gave you the ring as a real symbol of spiritual commitment. Let it remind you that your love is endless and your commitment is forever! No refunds."
Looking up, she stared at Tibarn for a moment.
"She isn't gonna wait forever, you know! We're waiting!"
