Wedding between fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan

[Hatman 🍁]

Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here today to join together this man and this woman in matrimony, and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

 Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. It is intended for their mutual joy – and for the help and comfort given on another in prosperity and adversity. But more importantly – it is a means through which a stable and loving environment may be attained.

Through marriage, fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan make a commitment together to face their disappointments – embrace their dreams – realize their hopes – and accept each other’s failures. fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together – through mutual understanding – openness – and sensitivity to each other.

We are here today  to witness the joining in marriage of fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now I will join  you together in marriage.

Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?

Atlasia has months of tradition for gay marriage.   This is clearly damaging to our society.  Gay-challenged folks such as us can civil union all we please, but marriage is between one man and one man here in Atlasia.

[Everett]

Oh wait... I'm not even a guy... sorry. Someone else do the honours, please.

[Everett]

*walks Rin-Chan to the altar*

Ok, fezzy Everett has given her away lol. Ok, in a break with tradition, fezzy must be given away as well. (just to be equal and all that)

Thanks to all who have given gifts!  We haven't decided what the gifts for the guests will be...

 This is a beginning and a continuation of their growth as individuals. With mutual care, respect, responsibility and knowledge comes the affirmation of each one’s own life happiness, growth and freedom. With respect for individual boundaries comes the freedom to love unconditionally. Within the emotional safety of a loving relationship – the knowledge self-offered one another becomes the fertile soil for continued growth. With care and responsibility towards self and one another comes the potential for full and happy lives.

By gathering together all the wishes of happiness and our fondest hopes for fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan from all present here, we assure them that our hearts are in tune with theirs. These moments are so meaningful to all of us, for “what greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together – to strengthen each other in all labor – to minister to each other in all sorrow – to share with each other in all gladness.

This relationship stands for love, loyalty, honesty and trust, but most of all for friendship. Before they knew love, they were friends, and it was from this seed of friendship that is their destiny. Do not think that you can direct the course of love – for love, if it finds you worthy, shall direct you.

Marriage is an act of faith and a personal commitment as well as a moral and physical union between two people. Marriage has been described as the best and most important relationship that can exist between them. It is the construction of their love and trust into a single growing energy of spiritual life. It is amoral commitment that requires and deserves daily attention. Marriage should be a life long consecration of the ideal of loving kindness – backed with the will to make it last.
