The RhyDin Conservatory (the location of the wedding) is located in the New Haven section of RhyDin city. The glass building is hard to miss, dominating a large section of a city block with the actual structure and its sprawling gardens. A circular drive dominates the entrance allowing room for carriages and other vehicles to drop guests off while any number of valets wait on hand to park or direct the drivers of vehicles to park elsewhere.

Stairs lead up to the main double doors as well as a balcony that surrounds the front half of the building. The balcony's railing and its balusters have been strung with little lights for the occasion. Once entering the building, guests find themselves within a small reception room containing both a coat check (although the evening is warm), facilities, and rooms for the wedding party to prepare themselves in before they enter the main room.

Another set of double doors leads guests into the main chamber of the conservatory. All the walls and ceiling are made of glass, granting views of the extensive gardens extending behind the conservatory as well as the star-decorated sky. Directly before the main entrance a dance floor has been set up which extends outside and onto the patio; a set of doors opens up the way to the patio directly across from the entrance. Before the entrance to the patio, a podium has been set up to conduct the actual ceremony. The band has been set up on the patio, the music loud enough to be heard inside as well as throughout the gardens.

To the right and left of the dance floor, tables have been set up for guests to sit at; the centerpieces low enough to allow for conversation. Glass chandeliers, mage-lit, hang from the ceiling to illuminate the room. Plants and flowers of all kinds decorate the room, hang from the ceiling, and crawl over the walls in places. At either end of the room, right or left, extensive bars have been set up carrying the variety of alcohol that can be found in the Red Dragon Inn. Along the wall perpendicular to the main entrance are tables with a buffet of food.

Outside, the patio is surrounded by well kept gardens with many footpaths winding throughout. The patio is lit by torches as well as small mage lights strung through the air above the dance floor. The gardens are left unlit save for natural, celestial lighting. Many of the garden paths are more secluded with tall plants and trellises concealing those traveling them from prying eyes. Benches and sitting stones are scattered throughout. There is also a hedge-maze, a fountain, benches, and tables located at the center for those who can find it.

[]The wedding will be played out in the Great Hall; the room will serve as the RhyDin Conservatory for the night. All are welcome and are asked to respect the setting that has been described.

Anyone bringing their character in with the intent to cause unwanted drama and basically ruin the event (I'm not talking about silly brale antics here) will be placed on ignore permanently (I speak only for myself). This is supposed to be fun and we don't need the unnecessary drama, that seems to be a standard every night in the Inn, pervading the scene.

Please feel free to post outfit descriptions in this thread as well as other wedding-related posts![]

I'll do the word description tonight. But... for your viewing pleasure, it's Erin's wedding ensemble.

Wedding Couture Courtesy of The Heavenly Boutique:

Wedding gowns were made not simply to clothe a bride but to provide her with a breathtaking costume for the most important scene in her life. Jewell's gown did not disappoint with its creamy tulle and taffeta offering more than enough drama and sophistication in their design. The strapless bodice framed her upper body, revealing only enough to tantalize the groom and heighten his anticipation for the night that would follow after his guests' departure. The fabric had been gathered over the Empress' right hip, drawing the eye to the top of the full skirt that would steal the show as it fell down past her ankles. Under the lights of the Conservatory, the small crystals selectively embroidered along the skirt would shimmer, giving the impression that a thin layer of raindrops refusing to dissolve followed the water Fae wherever she went.

Hopefully this will work. LOL. I'm not very good at the whole link thing.

Eless will be wearing a pencil thin dress of wedgewood blue, with a small sweep train. It's embellished with midnight blue roses all over and is strapless! It's a huge change from her more wispy and ethereal type of dress -- especially being strapless!

Her knee length golden hair will be worn up in a loose, relaxed french twist with long side swept bangs and few errant wisps escaping. She'll be barefoot as usual. Her only jewelery is a mignight blue choker, with a finely wrought silver medallion shaped in a flame-- to hide the scar that traces her neck and mars the almost flawless skin. A sheer beaded chiffon shawl of midnight blue is looped about her arms.

From My World to Yours

It was long past midnight by the time he'd found and followed Stephen's scent. Still, he'd promised that he'd at least present the new couple with a gift and he'd see it through. So, crawling carefully along, the imp occasionally calls out Stephen's name to try and hone in on a sound to back up the scent. Amid all this tracking, a few memories flash by his mind. There is one very recent one at least that makes him smile.
Fine workmanship and a heart poured into a gift.

~*He had come back from lending a much-needed hand at the docks tired yet invigorated from the work. And honestly, the other hands' quiet appreciation made him smile. He'd helped and that pleased him immensely.
Crawling into the Maritime, he frowns a little to himself in thought. He may miss the wedding but he wouldn't miss giving Stephen and Jewell a proper gift.

He worked for hours on the simple but complex gift. It wasn't that it was difficult. More that it was precise and needed a level of care.
In the end, it came out well with only an unintentional iridescent discolouring on the crystalline shaft of the thing. The strings were the hardest part really, having to be hand-threaded through the holes of the bow-like shaft. Once the last spider web-thin string was threaded and tied off, he took the thing apart down the designed perforation.
It made a soft sizzling as it came cleanly apart.
Perfect.
Smiling, he put the instrument back together and tuned the two sets of strings.*~

He had eventually wrapped the instrument in brown paper to transport it and now, he carries the thing to its destination. Included inside the wrapping, he'd written a careful note explaining what it is and how it works.
After all, it does look odd -- like marrying a lap harp, didjeridoo and mandarin together -- so instructions are probably a necessity.

Stephen-Captain and Jewell Lady,

I bring gift to you to celebrate Mating ritual. Gift is from Homeworld and I make with pride. Gift is called Gahjyll'Nar. Is maker of Song and is custom of people to give Gahjyll'Nar to Bondmates. It one thing that come apart to make two. It is symbol of oneness. Renne play song for you on it.

May Bright Spheres shine forever on you.

-Renne
