Hello everyone,
Tomorrow's the big day so I thought I'd review the events. For timings, please ask Braedaeon or Annie. They are familiar with the agenda, though I'm sure Crysta is as well.
The wedding party members will wake up at 7AM to begin the preparations for the ceremony. Cody's taken to starting the technology up, so don't worry about it if you're not friends with technology. Two hours before the ceremony, there will be a mock ceremony. This will NOT be done in wedding attire since it is not the actual wedding. One hour before the ceremony, the wedding party will be getting their uniforms, suits, dresses and medals on and the gateway will be open to allow guests to enter. People will start to take their seats. Any member who's not in the wedding party will also get into their assigned wear and take a seat in the reserved section.
Security is in three layers. Core, border and external are the three layers. External security is at an extreme level, they will be able to detect any form of a weapon. All weapons are banned from accessing the border. Persons capable of magic will be questioned before border, if they are enemies they will face termination. If they are allied, they will have to go through extended screening. If the magics are not essential to healthy operation of the body, the magics will immediately be blocked from operation upon entry. Magic weapons are banned! Weapons are banned if you are not a part of the security. Border security is also at an extreme level. There will be inspections for every individual that wishes to enter. If a guest does not have magics, abilities or weapons, the check will likely be short. If the guest has any magics, abilities or weapons, the inspection will take longer. There will be three lanes, but only one gate. It is assumed that the majority of guests will come without any of the above. Core security will be high, eyeing for any suspicious activity of any sort. Core security will be everywhere inside the safe zone except the wedding chamber. Security is not to enter the chamber unless an emergency condition exists. This would include fire or an intruder.
The party is not allowed to carry weapons unless authorized. Weapons will be on standby in a nearby room should an intruder make it. Any weapons that are attached to the body and a part of it should be retracted or hidden if that's not possible. The wedding party cannot carry weapons either unless the weapon is a tradition or a part of the uniform.
The ceremony should commence as traditionally planned. The organization of isle walking is set to default. We're not in Human nonsense, so don't bother with the paperwork, it's a verbal binding. When the bride and groom (Annie and Braedaeon) enter the room, stand. Those of you in uniforms should solute. When they're at the stage and turned, everyone sits and the solutes end. The lines are read and the wedding goes as planned. You had better watch the kiss at the end, because that's a meaningful one (1). Oh, the music's the same too, Roseilina said she'd play the organ (2).
There's a break between the parts of the wedding of course. After the ceremony is done, the bridesmaids and groomsmen will help take down the ceremony decoration. The tables will be moved in and the chairs will be rearranged to be at the tables. Cody has taken to move the technology.
The reception is to occur after this, it will start at a dinner setting. Dress will be similar to the ceremony. Weapons are banned from the reception. Weapons will be on standby should an intruder make it. Security will only be present in small numbers in the chamber, where the reception is taking place. There will be no more than three security forces and no less than two. Supper will commence first and will be taken in order of calling. The bride and groom will obtain their food last. Once they have each made a speech, the dinner will begin. Dessert will follow shortly after. Speeches will occur when dessert is available. After the speeches conclude, a dance will commence involving the bride and the groom. Then the family will join in. The dancing will be paired for this portion. Upon the third song, an open slow dance will commence. From that point on, the music will be randomized. Casual conversations and freedom to move are in effect afterhand. However, security requests that you do not leave the safe zone. There's a reasonable amount of outdoor space protected anyways. Guests will leave when reception is over. Only arrangements can be placed as exceptions.
After the reception concludes, clean up will commence upon wake up on the following day. The bride and groom should not be involved as this is their special time. On the evening of the clean up day, security will be taken down and we will return to Old Town. This will conclude the wedding event.
Lots to read, but you'll be enlightened to the event when you complete the read.
