Description

You see Haldi the Insane.
He appears to be Human.
He is old beyond his years.  Unkempt black hair leaps from his head in all directions, its untamed abandon matching the wildness in his pale blue eyes.
He is in good shape.
Black robes drape from his lithe frame, dragging the ground in tattered hems while a single silver crescent moon pendant dangles loosely from a rope chain around his neck.

Ceremony

Haldi hurries forward, making his way to the front and waving away an attendant who is positioning a dais before the gathered crowd.  Speaking to himself, Haldi mutters, "Be quiet!  No, I don't know why anyone would want to get married.  Yes, yes, I've heard that before.  I know marriage isn't a word.  It's a sentence."  Haldi looks up suddenly, seeming to just now notice the assembled guests.

"We are gathered here today to unite GROOM and BRIDE in the bonds of matrimony under the law and in the sight of Zelia," he says.  "Chaos," he continues, "is the way of the world.  Many seek to subjugate it into order, but the goddess embraces it.  GROOM and BRIDE have chosen to join together this day.  Be it for one hour, one day, one year, or many, this union will last until the chaos takes it once more."  Haldi laughs merrily before saying softly to himself, "Yes, the chaos is beautiful.  No, I don't know how long it will last."

Regaining his composure and turning to you, he asks, "Do you, GROOM, take BRIDE to be your companion until such time as the chaos dictates otherwise?"

Turning to BRIDE, Haldi asks, "Do you, BRIDE, take GROOM to be your companion until such time as the chaos dictates otherwise?"

Success

Haldi nods and says, "A choice as good as any other.  Ever changing Zelia, we ask for your blessing upon this union until such time as you see fit to dissolve it."

The area darkens dramatically as a wispy image of the crescent moon appears briefly above your heads.  As quickly as the image appeared, it dissipates, and the area fills with light once more.

"The goddess has blessed you," Haldi says.  Muttering to himself, he says, "Yes, it's finished."  Addressing you and BRIDE, he says, "I now pronounce you married under the law."  Without another word, he grabs the dais and quickly bolts from the area.

Rejection

Haldi nods.  "Chaos is ever lurking, tangible but out of reach.  We embrace it and go where its loving currents take us," he says.  Haldi addresses the crowd, "There will be no union today.  Please enjoy the refreshments anyway."  Without another word, he grabs the dais and quickly bolts from the area.
