The Ireem Chronicles

Royal Wedding

A GLORIOUS ROYAL WEDDING

~ written by Pasha

It was a spectacular day in Ireem when our beloved Princess Page was taken in marriage to the handsome Prince Rexie.

Most of the residents of Ireem were present as the beautiful Princess Page walked down the aisle.  A collective gasp was heard at the vision of her loveliness as she floated gracefully down the aisle to take her place beside her betrothed.

  Prince Rexie beamed with pride as he gazed upon our dear Princess.. soon to be his wife. 

Sultana Zanlu officiated at the ceremony and surprised everyone with the first words being for Prince Rexie, "First of all.. I have some words for you, Lord Rexie.  You have been a very much a gentleman since the first day that we met..Loyal, generous, gentle..and now you are going to get married to a Princess. Well...I take this opportunity for promoting you Prince.  First of all because you deserve this title for your great behavior and, second, because I don't want see you at her side as prince-consort." With this comment, Sultana gave a little grin.  then bestowed on him the title of Prince Rexie. 

Sultana then asked each of them to receive the other as their spouse and to pledge their love, faith, loyalty and devotion. 

Sultana then looked to both of them saying, "Receive each other, by saying now, each to the other, words which will tell of your love."

Prince Rexie first spoke as he gazed in Princess Page's eyes, " I, Prince Rexie take you, Page,  to be no other than yourself, in all the ways life may find us, tending you in sickness and rejoicing with you in health, as long as we both shall live to love with my whole heart forever."

As Princess Page began to speak, you could hear a pin drop as all eyes and ears stood ready to hear her pledge of love to Prince Rexie, "I, Page Siegel take you, Prince Rexie, to be no other than yourself, in all the ways life may find us, tending you in sickness and rejoicing with you in health, as long as we both shall live to love."

The loving couple exhanged rings as Sultana spoke, " This circlet of precious metal is justly regarded as a fitting emblem of the purity and perpetuity of the Marriage State. The ancients were reminded by the circle of eternity, as it is so fashioned as to have neither beginning nor end; while gold is so incorruptible that it cannot be tarnished by use or time. So may the union, at this time solemnized, be incorruptible in its purity and more lasting that time itself. In this hope may they keep the vows made on this day, in freedom, teaching each other who they are, what they yet shall be, enabling them to know that in the fullness of being, they are more than themselves and more than each other; that they are all of us, and that together we share joyously the fruits of life.”

Finally the moment that everyone waited for arrived when Sultana said "And as Page and Rexie have declared their love and devotion to each other before family and friends, I now greet them with you as husband and wife. Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be sanctuary to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no isolation for you. Now there is no more loneliness. Now you are two, but there is only one life in front of you. Go now and enter into the days of your togetherness.”

Everyone present jumped to their feet applauding the couple as they walked hand and hand down the aisle as man and wife. 

(Princess Page  asked that if anyone sketched any images of the wedding ((photos)), she would be very appreciative if they would share them with her since she was not able to hire anyone to provide that service.  She offered that she would be happy to exchange coin for such images.  Please contact Princess Page if you would like to share.)
