Shel makes as many preparations as possible for the festivities. She keeps Alouryn as calm as possible, while offering suggestions to the others as where the flowers should be placed, and where the musicians should be seated for the service. It was the least she could do to help her friends.
As the hour grew closer, she found herself getting more and more excited.

Bliss is glad to help with the celebrations. He runs errands and fetches things and laughs at everyone's jokes!
At the wedding itself, he sings and dances -- Bliss is an especially good dancer! (skill check from last post)
He eats hugely. In fact, when it is time for cake, he changes his Reduce Person to Enlarge Person so he can have an especially GIANT size piece of cake!
His one serious moment is when he has a private moment with Hazel. "This is such a great day!" he says. "But you might want to wait until you retire to have kids. Wowsy, it can be hard for a kid to have a parent who is an adventurer."
But then it is back to the party!

(too bad... I was waiting for Hazel to post... after all he's THE most important one to post right now! As said, and strengthened by the PTB the wedding is only allowed to take one paragraph in a post - I'll take the risk of getting scowled at by making this a full post concerning the wedding. Tomorrow the next module starts.)
Shel, Alleah and Murphy run around town all day to make the final preparation for the wedding. Murphy spends most of his time talking to... well... almost the entire town and all the officials to making sure his best friend's wedding will take place in the best circumstances!
Hazel is a pack of nerves though... Murphy talks to him trying to calm the poor fellow. Somehow the talk about children and how they behave might not be ideal to calm the ranger! Faoil too might get worried especially since it seems those little ones will consider Faoil a fantastic live toy!! He softly yelps... Shel looks after Alouryn and make sure the girl doesn't get cold feet...
Murphy takes us his role as wedding planner very seriously and like he wanted the ceremony starts at six that evening...
The Cleric of Flower stands waiting for the happy couple. It's a pitty of course that the temple is now in the hands of the Followers of Ffloy... otherwise the wedding of course would have taken place there! Instead Allouryn has asked to have the wedding near the banks of the crescent river. Not too far from the Humble's Sword Burrow.
So the Cleric of Flower stands with the river banks behind her. Murphy's brother Kendry softly playes the lute. Airin wisely sings not... Mayor Bumbleluck, accompanied by his wife and daughter, and Iangold Laughshield are honorary guests. Neither was dismayed that Alouryn chose a Cleric of Flower to perform the ceremony. The Second Dinner's Club seemingly did not accept Murphy's invitations. In fact... they didn't even open! Ah... those three have always been kinda strange.
The ceremony doesn't take too long. The Cleric of Flower wraps a 'Zeoll's Berrywreath' around Hazel and Alouryn's hands. The Goodberries glow. "May you forever live with the love of Flower and by the Love of Flower I pronounce you hustand and wife!!"
Candy Badapple has come to the wedding to congratulate Alouryn. Some of the other Badapples can be seen standing in the back of the crowd but they don't feel compelled to come any closer.
Then there's the banquet and the party!!! Students from the academy spice up the evening with a wonderful firework like Murphy begged for. Some of the arrows go wide and almost landed in the middle of the crowd but luckily nothing bad happens... Kendry has left his lute aside and now dances with his own wife. Instead now a band chosen by Shel playes some uplifting tunes Alleah and Hazel will most certainly like!
Several are quite surprised as they see Bliss cast Enlaarge Person on himself... but as soon as they see him taking a giant size piece of pie everyone understands!
It's well passed midnight when Alouryn and Hazel are escorted to the Humble's Sword Burrow. It's decorated with countless flowers and ribbons. Inside candles and flowers also decorate the whole house...
Murphy that night stands guard in front of the house...
Sardok has his own demons to fight... demons from the past... He drinks more than he should and passes out. The next morning he wakes up with a fantastic headache...
-----------------------------------
Morning comes... there's evidence of the wedding party everywhere. Murphy's eyes are heavy. Sardok's got a headache and wakes up next to the dance floor. Shel, Alleah and Bliss have slept at Murphy's parents. Most sleep in late but when waffles and pancakes are prepared at the Leafwin Pipewoods the house soon smells waking up everybody...
Sardok HP 44/44 AC 21/16/16--Atlas2112 Sunday February 15th, 2015 10:36:08 PM
Sardok rubs his bleary eyes and kindly asks the gnomes mining his skull for gold to stop. The gnomes must be deaf because the pounding goes on. Still with eyes closed, he gropes about and comes to the conclusion that he's -somehow- next to what appears to be a dance floor. 'That's alright,' he thinks. 'Everything is fine as long as I kept my codpiece on. I -did- keep my codpiece on, right?' He skips asking question the universe might never answer and slowly stands. He begins the time-honored trek of searching his soul as to why he ever did that in the first place. Then, fearing that he might actually answer that question, he stops asking, and begins the epic sojourn: To Find Water And Eggs. Or perhaps some more booze. Eggs are better but beggars can't be choosers. Or something.

The sickly sweet smell of maple syrup and pancakes wakes Alleah from a good nights sleep. She stretches in bed and feels completely at ease. And is that a hint of bacon in the air? Hmmm... with all the others around that will likely go soon.
Alleah tears herself away from the comfort of a warm bed and dresses herself for breakfast. Being a minor, she didn't drink much at all the previous night. From memory it was only one mug of cider.
She makes her way to the breakfast table to see how the others fared.
"Hmmm... If I became the cleric to discover a cure for hangovers I could be rich" she smiles as she helps herself to a warm mug of cocoa.
Murphy (Kim) Monday February 16th, 2015 11:43:29 AM
Murphy is about to head over to his family burrow, all apparently well within, when young Juditha and Samki bring two laden, covered platters. The druid knocks three times. "Bringing breakfast, good friends!" he announces, waits a beat, then opens the door, and helps his sibling bring in the food.
"Take your time, lovebirds," Murphy says.
Juditha calls out, "Mama sent warm waffles, clotted cream, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Sausage links and bacon, warm bread, butter, cut melons, limes, a huge omelette, and sweets."
Samki adds, "And sauces. And hot tea. And a bottle of Uncle Orby's sweet mead."
"Thank you, Juditha, Samki. We will leave them be." Murphy shepherds them out as he sees Juditha craning her neck to see if she can see anyone... but the marriage suite is well away from the entryway and dining room.
As they head back to the Leafwin Pipewood home, Murphy fails at stifling a couple of yawns. "Thanks sis, brother."
He comes in, sees family and friends. "That was a good wedding. Thanks, everyone. All is well at the honeymoon burrow." He picks up one waffle. "I'm going to bed." He bites into the waffle as he shuffles off to catch some rest.
Bliss (AC20, HP35) & Mookie (AC19, HP17) (Cayzle) Monday February 16th, 2015 5:08:44 PM
Bliss joins Alleah at the breakfast table, and enjoys the great cooking. In between bites, he asks, "Miss Alleah, who was that nice fellow you met the other day? He seemed nice."
