The heavy, blue-tinged parchment hangs with twin golden lions rearing towards each other at the top corners. Simple, elegant script fills the page.

~~~[/center]

(( Hello everyone! Zak and I are finally tying the IC knot, and you’re all invited! I apologize for the short notice, but life is a thing sometimes…alas! Gifts are not required, only your lovely selves in the mood to celebrate. However, should you wish to bring edibles, drinkables, or entertainment-oriented objects to share with your fellow partygoers, we won’t object—and if you’d like to do so formally and provide a service of some sort for the reception, please contact me and we’ll hash out the details! Finally, as this is a joyous event, we also ask that everybody come together in harmony and leave hostilities at the proverbial door. We look forward to seeing you there! ))

(( Today's the day! The cake is iced, vows are written, rings secured away! Now, there's just a few things left to say:

(Hey, I'm poetic today.)

The ceremony will be translated to the Horde by Aderlee. He and Eiyn (Myaka) will be available for translation purposes during the reception if required.

Those of you bringing the newlyweds a gift: please leave a description in this thread if it has special out-of-game description or isn't otherwise an in-game item. In-game items can be mailed to either Zakarnas or Katelle if you are Alliance, or Kriabryve on the Horde (a Katelle alt) and we will get it transferred over.

Guests: please sign the "guest book" by sending an in-game mail! If you'd like to include a note to the bride and groom, a piece of relationship advice, or anything of the sort, feel free to do so as well. Mails can be sent to Zakarnas or Katelle if you are Alliance, or Kriabryve if you are Horde (however, it should still ICly be addressed to Zak/Kate).

During the reception, we'll have a bouquet and garter toss! Better warm up those catcher's mitts, folks! Guests interested in participating will be asked to group up and /roll. We will coordinate between each faction group to see who has the highest roll!

Attendants will pass out silly party favors and fireworks to guests, both Horde and Alliance. We ask that you save at least one firework for the end of the reception to see off the newlyweds as they embark on their first solo journey as a married couple! Silly toys such as bubble wands, rose petals, and other various things like that are welcome too!

During the reception, oftentimes couples will bow to the demands of the guest's clinking glasses and kiss! Today, there will be none of that clinking of glasses; instead, if you want the happy couple to show affection at your whim, you must work for it! Get the attention of the crowd (/yell might work nicely!) and perform a poem or song containing the word "Love!" Alternately, you can grab some buddies and perform a short skit about the couple as well. Only then will we humor your whims--however, I'm sure there will be plenty of visible affection otherwise, too.

Finally, while we have hired the services of Arcane Images Photography (thanks, Delenay!), we welcome screenshots from guests! I plan on compiling a "scrapbook" to post online which features photographs, memorable notes, Mackinzie's wonderful menu, etc. If you'd like to contribute your own screenshots, they can be sent to my TE, Sanctum, or TNG account!

We look forward to seeing everybody there! ^_^ ))

((and this one is a little ooc but considering I like to think wow cameras can capture ghosts, magic auras and other wise unseen things icly...))

[Kiraleen]

She'd found it while cleaning out a storage closet; an old, battered axe with the crest of Ironforge stamped into the head. Along the throat of the axe was 'Property of Hjalda Rockrun' in dwarven script. A war trophy, one would think.

Kira could imagine his voice perfectly. '"Why not return it, Sunrise? Something old, and it really would look nice going back to Alliance hands."

She could also imagine the unveiled malice in that sentiment. Lerossa had not had a kind bone in his body for the Empire. Though for her sake, he had tried to hide it. Setting the axe back in the closet with a sigh, she went back to thinking.

In the end, she chose a hand keg of twenty-year-old raspberry mead, and a lovers' knot quilt made from silk, in shades of blues and greens, and accented with violet.

Brianna's Wedding Gift to Katelle and Zakarnas: An Elegant Family Portrait

The painting stands around four feet high, encased in an ornamental frame made from a deep cherry oak. Carved leaves and blossoms accentuate the extravagant frame, running the entire border. Upon the canvas of linen, vibrant oils depict a family portrait of Katelle, Zakarnas, Marzano, and Sophie. The likeness of each person is remarkably striking, capturing their visage quite well.

A sleeping baby Sophie is wrapped snugly within a blanket, cradled in Katelle's arms; blue curls peeking out of the fabric to frame her cherubic face. Katelle's face is tilted down, motherly adoration captured in her soft smile, as she watches her sleeping child. The woman's blonde hair is gathered into her signature ponytail, the end of her tresses curled forward to rest on her shoulder while a few escaped strands caress her cheek. A touch to the right, behind Mother and child, stands Zakarnas, hand resting upon Katelle's lithe shoulder protectively as she leans back into him. His demeanor is one of utmost pride. As usual, wild blue hair sticks out in varying directions; true to the Kaldorei's style. His other arm embraces Marzano, who stands beside his Mother and directly in front of his Father. Marzano's purple eyes hold a glint of childish amusement, a wide and bright smile upon the nine year old's face. Together, they look the perfection of a happy family!

The family takes up most of the space upon the canvas, though the background which is visible is colored in a light blue, akin to a morning sky. Down in the bottom right corner of the canvas may be seen three initials, B.A.M., in the elegant script of Brianna's hand.

Rorrek's Wedding Gift: Illustrious Daggers

The ornate daggers form a single pair, they twins of impeccable craft. Such blades are of equal heft for which both bear lightness in weight perhaps surprising. Steel forged comprise the bodies and handles. Damasked patterns are inlaid upon the brims with intricacy befitting the gold and flared hilts which coil about peculiar sapphires seated therein. The delicate glowing which occurs within the sapphire stones when said twin daggers are near one another may suggest enchanted properties.
