The weather is bright and clear- one gift graciously given- a faint breeze dancing and singing among the trees and causing the sun to sparkle off the lake in the distance. The branches of the oak tree spread out above the gathering, green and gold with dappled sunlight. Beneath, the ground was softly carpeted with grass, and flowers surrounded the

And there is a goom, pacing nervously in the clearing just to the side of the arch. He is clenching and unclenching his hands. The waiting is killing him; all these months, and now he's got less than an hour, and this is worse than all the rest combined.

[Iffen it's okay to tag in yet...]

And there's a Rachel, certainly not in the best mood, wearing the cloak he'd given her despite the warm weather...barefoot...and limping. Don't ask.

She smiles as she finds him though, she couldn't just sit on a bench and wait...so she falls into pacing beside him.

He smiles nervously, his eyes a touch too wide, and holds out his hand without a word. He could use some company.

She takes it readily, the arm slipping from her cloak swimming with scars. Seems Bar did talk her into some form of revealing dress.

"Is it to early to give you your wedding gifts?" she asked gently, hugging his arm.

And, without too much delay, now arrives Svava and the rest of the bridal party.

Svava herself is in a long white dress, sleeveless and strapless, with the bodice laced back, front and sides with long old-gold scarves left flowing at the bottom. The one in front was wrapped once around her throat, with Brisingamen pinned where it crossed, before the scarf trailed down to the mid-cut bodice and laces. A delicate wreath of flowers and leaves, forged and wrought by Gimli, graces her head, with Svava's golden hair braided and twisted fancily at the base of her neck. There is a bouquet of flowers held carefully in one hand, as she and the others approach.

*Meg is one of those who comes behind her, holding up her skirts in order to make sure she keeps up with Svava's longer strides without tripping over her hem.

She wearing a blue velvet gown, cut in Phantasmoranian style - it's more comfortable than a bustle, at least; and Meg will never feel properly dressed for an Occasion unless her skirts cover her ankles.*

Clad in a dark green court gown, Alanna walks behind Meg, looking around with a wide smile. The corset is giving her a bit of trouble, but Svava had allowed her to carry her sword, so all is not lost.

She only trips once.

And Elaine, in a blue gown over a cream colored underskirt, follows Alanna. She's smiling and might just be brushing at a tear in the corner of her eye.

She loves weddings. Just loves them.

And she's so pleased to be able to attend at Svava's wedding.

[holy_oats]

Oats is ... a little nervous.

All right, he's more than a little nervous: He's a wreck. This is certainly the biggest and best-planned of any wedding he can lay claim to having performed, and what with the revisions requested by bride and groom, he doesn't want to forget anything.

Or make a mess of the *words.*

At least the tortoise appears to be behaving itself.

His hand may be trembling ever so slightly as he reaches out to her at her last few steps towards the altar. His hands may be shaking, but it is merely a result of the adoration shining from his eyes. She is so beautiful. His goddess, his wife.

[skjaldmeyjar]

Svava is beaming, though her hand is shaking a bit as well, as she takes Archie's tightly.

It all seems like a dream, to be finally happening. Like a dream, but all the more wonderful for it to be actually real.

She squeezes Archie's hand again

before turning to look at Oats with an expectant smile.

[holy_oats]

Oats tries to muster up an appropriately benevolent smile and get his fingers to just stop shaking.

He coughs, tugging at his collar.

"Umm ... are we, ah, ready to begin?"
