Description

You see Zeffrena the Devotee of the Light.
She appears to be Elven.
Short and pudgy, she appears advanced in years.  Tight braids of steel-colored hair are wound tightly into an intricate bun atop her head.  Sparkling emerald green eyes dispute the wrinkles and age spots that threaten to reveal her true age.  Thin lips set in a slight smile lend a sense of joy to her round face.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a pale cream homespun robe, a brilliant cloud opal-set gold ring, and a pair of soft golden velvet slippers.

Ceremony

Zeffrena strides forward, flanked by two attendants in cream-colored robes.  One attendant places a simple wooden dais before those gathered, while the other drapes it in a white-traced coffee-colored cloth.  Zeffrena steps toward the dais and raises her hands, waiting for silence.

In a soothing, soft voice that caresses the silence, Zeffrena says, "We are all here today to rejoice and bear witness to the union of GROOM and BRIDE in holy matrimony.  Marriage is a covenant, ratified by mortals and glorified by the gods.  Present your offerings to The Light and ask for the blessings of Liabo upon the couple."

Turning to face you, Zeffrena asks, "Do you, GROOM, take BRIDE to be your wedded companion under the law of the land and in the eyes of the gods of Liabo?"

Turning to face BRIDE, Zeffrena asks, "Do you, BRIDE, take GROOM to be your wedded companion under the law of the land and in the eyes of the gods of Liabo?"

Success

"Wonderful!  A joyous day indeed," Zeffrena says warmly.  "Two souls, joined as one under the light.  That is how we describe marriage.  The Lords of Light offer an eternity together to those joined under the grace of Liabo," she continues.  "Therefore, by the powers vested in me by the law of the lands, and as a representative of The Light, I pronounce you married," she says with a radiant look.  With a soft smile, she exclaims, "You may now kiss each other!"  Zeffrena nods to the attendants, signaling the removal of the dais, as she says, "Congratulations.  Please enjoy the refreshments prepared for you."  She smiles and strides out.

Rejection

"It seems we are at an impasse," states Zeffrena emotionlessly.  "I am afraid we will not be having a wedding today after all.  It is wise not to mock the Lords of Light by entering into a covenant one is uncertain of.  Please feel free to remain and enjoy the refreshments," she says.  Zeffrena nods to the attendants, signaling the removal of the dais as she strides out.
