Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kiara nodded towards Kitsuna, waving to her slightly, with a light smile playing about her lips. "I'm Kiara, Varro's and Alyss's godmother.. I also serve a a housekeeper of sorts at the Kage Dojo. And, if you don't already know, I'm a were-shifter."
She demostrated by changing her skin to that of a white tiger's, along with growing a pair of ears and a tail.

Lyoko woke up to Kari's loud purring. She looked down and saw her cat curled up at the end of the bed. She quietly got up and left the room and going into the room ajoining the bed room, the library. She sat down on one of the chairs and grabbed a book on the table next to her.

Kitsuna turns and bows to Lady Aideen saying "you look lovely milady." She then says to Aideen "so you know your roll in the ceremony is simple. Just pour a cup of wine when lord Iro has finished the first part of the sermon." She then notices the time and says "if you all will excuse me i'd best get to my mistress to make sure she's ready." Kitsuna bows and then departs to the bedroom first. Finally she finds Lyoko in the library and says "mistress, ten minutes to go, time to get into place."

With a mere ten minutes till the ceremony starts the servents start seating people and getting things in place. Kumouri rejoins the group long enough to help them get seated before taking his place near the stand. Iro soon enough is standing behind a podium to wait for things to get going. Ryu is waiting in the dinning area after everyone else is seated.

She nodded to Kitsuna and they went to the tailor's room so she could get dressed. Her make up had all ready been done and she was leaving her hair alone, nothing else to do. She and Kitsuna made their way down the stairs slowly, giving everyone a chance to get seated.

Once all were seated, a small group of musicians started playing what could only be a traditional marriage march. Ryu on his cue steps outside and begins a slow walk to the alter. he was dressed in a black Yukata with silvery stars tailored in to make him seem as the night sky. this coupled with his confident stride gave him a truely regal look.

While his eyes were facing forward, Ryu did move his hand to clasp her's, giving a comforting squeeze.

Iro smiles to them both and then speaks aloud for all to hear "Friends, we are gathered here today to bare witness to the offical joining of these two hearts in joyous matromony. Both Ryu and Lyoko have chosen to forsake all others so that they can enjoy a long and happy life with one another. They have chosen to remain with one another no matter what hard times, if any, may present themselves. Be that poverty, illness, or anyone that might try to come between them. I ask now if there is any amoung you that oppose thise marrage to stand and be heard."

After a moments pause Iro then says "Since there are no objections, I will ask the couple to gaze upon one another and speak whatever vows they wish to express."

Ryu turns to Lyoko, his hand still holding hers as he smiles. "I have been a man that indulged in two things, war and pleasure. My years fo waring have, thus far, ended. As for pleasure, I will continue that, but this time it will be toned down and held exclusively to the woman I have come to love. Lyoko I give myself solely and all I have to offer solely to you, and ask only for your love in return."

Both Ryu and Iro smiled, then Iro gestures for them both to stand on either side of a small table with a small jar of Sake and a bowl like cup. Iro then says "I will now ask the brides maid to pour the wine and for you two to drink from the bowl, symbolizing your desire to share eveything about one another with each other." Ryu moved to one side of the small table and waited for Aideen to come and pour the wine.
