Description

You see Hestha the Storm Caller.
She appears to be an Elf.
She appears to be shorter than average and in her golden years.  She has gold-speckled storm grey eyes and blotched, darkly tanned skin.  She has short, tousled pure white hair gathered with salt-stained coral hairpins.  She has faint scars running along her fingertips.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a carved driftwood trident symbol, some slightly charred cyan muslin robes, an emerald green rope belt, and a pair of worn leather sandals buckled with small moon snail shells.

Ceremony

Hestha strides purposefully in, raising her hands for silence.  "We're here today to witness the bond of permanent love between GROOM and BRIDE," she intones.  Continuing, she says, "Through high tide, storm and calm, lack of wind, or tidal wave, they pledge their love to each other!"

She stares intently at you and BRIDE and warns, "If either of you have any doubt about this bond, run now before you waste Charl's time and insult Him by breaking what you unite in His name!"

Turning to face you, Hestha says, "If you've no doubts, affirm your desire to proceed with your marriage to BRIDE now."

Turning to face BRIDE, Hestha says, "If you've no doubts, affirm your desire to proceed with your marriage to GROOM now."

Success

With a slow nod of approval, Hestha grabs a silver flask of seawater from in her robes and splashes its contents across the altar, and finally at you and BRIDE.  "If any object to this wedding, tough bloody luck.  You'll have to face the wrath of Charl to annul it!"

"And without further ado," she thrusts her hands straight up into the air, and as a faint bolt of lightning slips through her fingers, she shouts, "I now pronounce you wed until death by Charl's wrath do you part with your mate!"  Smiling, Hestha strides purposefully out.

Rejection

"It seems the couple doesn't have their sea legs yet and is made queasy by this union.  Oh well, we all go where the wind and currents take us," she says.  "There will be no wedding today, a wise decision not to waste Charl's time," she continues.  Raising her voice, Hestha says, "Please enjoy the refreshments laid before you."  Hestha strides purposefully out.
