Description

You see Flordio the Friar of Oleani's Glade.
He appears to be a Halfling.
He is minuscule and appears to be in his golden years.  He has bright indigo blue eyes and dusky tanned skin.  He has very short, glossy onyx hair cropped closely around his small ears and neckline.  He has a dark, elaborately upswept mustache just below his classically straight nose.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a broad-brimmed royal blue suede hat, some polished rose quartz and morganite prayer beads, some simple cerulean linen robes with a high rounded collar, a softened cameline satchel embossed with an unfurling golden rose, and a pair of blue-black leather boots.

Ceremony

Gliding toward you with a beatific smile on his face, Flordio spends a few moments fussing with BRIDE's attire before lightly dusting off your shoulders.  With a slow nod of satisfaction, he steps to the side and inclines his head, waiting for silence.  "Greetings all!"  Flordio chirps happily.  "With us here are GROOM and BRIDE, who wish to be joined in the divine sacrament of marriage."

Flordio folds his hands in front of him, gazing at the two of you with the sheen of tears in his eyes.  He turns to a nearby acolyte, who hands him a thornless long-stemmed white rose, and inhales the fragrance before continuing.

"They ask now for the blessing of the Lady Oleani, who happily looks down upon lovers and takes them into her bosom to care for their devotion."  A single tear trails down Flordio's face, and he fumbles in his robes for a handkerchief.  "Today we will set another couple to the path of lasting ardor."

Flordio glides forward and kneels, placing the rose on the floor before you.  He stands easily and gazes at each of you.  "Love is like this rose, wild and sweet, but it must be tended if it is to grow to its full potential.  Oleani is happy to bless your union, but only you can water, with love, and tend, with care, what is planted here to make sure it grows lovely and strong."

Smiling at you, Flordio asks, "Do you, GROOM, agree to tend this love, water it with kindness, and nurture its growth with faithfulness and dedication?"

Smiling at BRIDE, Flordio asks, "Do you, BRIDE, agree to tend this love, water it with kindness, and nurture its growth with faithfulness and dedication?"

Success

Tilting his head back, Flordio is briefly surrounded by a rose-hued nimbus.  He throws his arms open and laughs merrily as the rose on the ground writhes in an unseen wind.  He picks up the bloom and wraps it around BRIDE's and your wrists.  "Oleani has blessed your love; now you must work to hold that blessing to you.  Go forth now, joined, and live a felicitous and fruitful life."

Turning to regard the gathered assembly, Flordio smiles warmly.  "This couple is now married by law.  Help them celebrate their union and bask in the warmth of their adoration and devotion."  He bows his head and subtly swipes at his cheeks with his handkerchief before stuffing it back into his robes and striding out.

Rejection

Frowning, Flordio states, "One does not simply receive love.  It must be earned through trust and devotion.  Without these, love does not exist, only infatuation.  There is doubt among us this day in the ability to contribute such to this union.  As such, there will be no wedding today.  May Oleani guide you both to the true love that awaits you."  He bows his head and subtly swipes at his cheek with his handkerchief before stuffing it back into his robes and striding out.
