Marriage

Made by the wonderful [Elegy - gone]!

[Zab] and [Stephen]

Come one and all to the great marriage^* between the esteemed Zab and Stephen. They have decided to get married here in Elftown, the place that brought them together. The most articulate [Ocean Soul] has been chosen to be the priestess to unite them in their not-so-holy matrimony forever and ever. (Unless they divorce.)
All the friends of Zab and Stephen have been wholeheartedly invited and welcomed to join in on this occasion.

Let the ceremony begin.

Priestess: We're here tonight because of these two people standing here: Zabina and Stephen!
Let's all think back a second, to the moment when we first heard about their engagement - I, for one, still remember it like it was today.
And even though it was at short notice, many friends followed their invitation, and here we are, and we all came together to whitness and celebrate this online wedding and happy beginning (it's not the end, even if it might feel like that sometimes) for these two loving people!)
So, Stephen, do you still remember how you met Zabina? (I have to get you all involved a little more here)

Stephen: Ah, yes. I do. It seems like so long ago. I was creating images to be donated to this fair city, and Zabina was the one who was chosen to look over the graphics that I was donating.

Priestess: Ah yes, that is Zab.. always caring (I know she had to, but she still enjoyed it I'm sure). Hardworking and nice!
So, Zabina, and do you remember how you proposed to Stephen all romantically?

Zabina: Yes, I remember it well. It wasn't long ago but I can say that my mother let me know that I couldn't let this opportunity with Stephen slip away from me, so I started the conversation, that actually ended with Stephen proposing to me...

Priestess: So romantic! I know why I chose this profession.
Zabina - Stephen: I would like to remind you that this is a not-so-serious but life-long thing you're about to do xD It is important to always care for your husband/wife, even though you might not have seen him/her! You have to support each other with all the things that might happen every day of every week of every year in all the time that's going to come. Love means enduring things you wouldn't usually endure and trusting someone even if it might be hard at times.

Stephen: Well, I have seen her on webcam before. (That might leave one wondering...) I, of course, will always care deeply for my dear Zabby-poo and I promise and plan to take care of her forever and eveh. I shant let a day go by that I do not talk with her if it is within my power. (Unless I get sidetracked and forget..)

Zabina: I have seen Stephen over the wonderful webcam as well, and if I didn't already care about him in all times I wouldn't be standing here today.

Priestess: You two have convinced me, but what about the rest of the crowd? If there's anyone who has any doubt, objection of any kind or who even has another reason why these two should be united, speak up now.

Elegy: *grumbles* All the good, rich, gay, cake-baking men are taken... fine, take this one as well. No objection from this part of the room.

Priestess: Alright, let's just say nobody thinks this marriage shouldn't happen!
So, I ask you, Stephen: Are you ready and willing to wed Zabina, take care of her in bad times and be happy with her in good times?

Stephen: Yes, I am willing to take her to bed in good times and.. oh, you said wed? Oops! *blushes* Of course I am willing to take her in both good and happy times, and to love every second of it.

Priestess: And I thought you were gay ;)
Anyway. Yes, I'll add the bed.
And so I ask you as well, Zabina: Are you ready and willing to wed (and take to bed) Stephen, take care of him in bad times and be happy with him in good times?

Zabina: Into bed? I'm not sure about that one...oh what the .. Yeah, I will. *smiles mischievously*

Orion: *is sobbing on her seat* It's too romantic.. Damn, why do I have to always cry in the wedding?! *sob, sob, sob..*

God: Omg..

Priestess: Erm alright, not too convincing there missy, but fine, you two have officially been pimped.. eh what? Married I mean. You two are married. The kiss shall be exchanged (forehead will do, if you want to keep it youth-friendly xD).

Zabina: *kisses Stephie*

Stephen: *debates about children friendly then decides to ignore it. He pulled Zabina very close to him and kissed her deeply and passionatly.*

Priestess: Now that was some kiss.
You two, please grab each other's hand now and walk your first few steps as married people. That's the last bit of ceremony.

Zabina: *grins and takes Stephies right hand with my right and pulls him closer with my left hand around his back*

Stephen: *Tightly holds her hand and walks very close to her with his arm wrapped around her back, nuzzling her with his head for a second.*

Lami: *turns into melty gooey mush*

Orion: Too beautiful.. *takes out a new package of tissues*

Priestess: *hides a tear* :´) You two.. !

Stephen: *smiles at the group and sneaks another quick kiss in on Zabina*

Ally hopes she's in time for the weddingcake.
