The crowd cheered as the newlyweds shared a drink from the cup that had been presented to them by the husband’s father. The cup was put aside and was quickly gather by the bride’s mother, who would place it safely in the new couple’s tent. The sharing of the cup marked the end of the formalities of the joining ceremony and the beginning of the celebration.
The bride’s attendants, a combination of her sisters, cousins and closest friends approached the couple to pull her away from her husband, whilst her brothers started to play a traditional song. The song had a strong beat, and the rest of the gathered Athosians started to clap their hands in time with it, adding to the music.
The eight attendants formed a ring around the bride, hiding her away from view. They started to dance in a tight circle and the groom strained to catch a glimpse of his new wife in the gaps between the attendants. The bride started to dance for her husband within the circle but still he only caught flashes of her. Slowly the attendants’ circle began to grow, before breaking apart to allow everyone to watch the bride dance. Soon however, the circle began to re-form, but this time the bride was a part of it, dancing with her sisters, cousins and friends in celebration of her marriage.
Gradually her brothers’ song began to change, an invitation for the rest of the Athosians to join in the dancing. As was customary, the groom was the first to get up to claim his wife for a dance.
