My apologies for the image file sizes!

What an incredible night this turned out to be!

Before I go any further, Congratulations to Rahn and Shyyrl, the new couple!

Now, on with the story: I had just finished fishing for the night and stopped in at the vendors in the PA Hall basement to pick up more bait and check on Aubai's resources. Surprising, at 1:00 in the morning, I discover three people there; Rho, Rahn and Shyyrl. Rho was on his way to Lok but I soon was talking to Rahn about Aeric's armor. Conversation revealed they were visiting Naboo and Avian in search of a house (1 medium, 1 small). In passing, Shyyrl asked if I knew where to get a wedding ring. I knew I had one in my safety deposit box and remembered seeing one on the Surplus vendor. I picked up the one from the vendor and gave it to them. Rahn knew exactly what to do.

Image

They accompanied me into Keren where I retrieved the other ring and offered our hall as their wedding chapel. They were quite excited and happy about the idea and while they checked their luggage for appropriate clothes, I contacted the few Avians online at that hour. X'ero was the only one able to join us and I'm very glad he did!

Once the couple had prepared themselves and with X'ero providing music, the ceremony got underway.

Image



Dearly hoping Rom would appear and do this thing right, I began the ceremony (hey, that DEFA DH title ought to be good for something).

Image

Image



When posed the age-old question of "Do you..." Rahn responded with confidence.

Image



Shyyrl expressed the tenderness and caring of her Twi'lek heart in her consent to the vows.

Image



And finally, the moment they'd been waiting for...

Image

Image



Kalvin O'Conner, a friendly stranger, slipped in during the start of the ceremony and added his voice to the congratulations...and the party!

Image



Another Avian showed up just in time for a dance and a drink or two.

Image



It was a surprise of an evening but what a treat! I'm very glad to have been a part of it - many thanks to Rahn and Shyyrl for letting X'ero, Avian and me be a part of their ceremony! Best wishes to you both!

Who'd have thought it? Love blossoming in our basement showroom!

PS: They submitted a customer service ticket to get Shyyrl's last name changed to Rahn's. Does anyone know of a better way to do that?

Of the few I've seen, you put one to work hawking your wares...that's no way to woo them! ;)

I had previously met Rahn and Shyyrl by coincidence. We hunted peko pekos and kaadus. They are two extremely kind and fun people. It was also a HUGE coincidence that Liro asked me to help at a wedding and BAM! It was Rahn and Shyyrl's! I was glad I could have some fun RPing with them. :D

Also, thanks for the screenies Liro.

Very nice.

Rahn is a good customers of ours. I see his name on all sorts of my vendor sale emails.

Heh...yeah - ended up having to convert to .GIF and scale down. Original pics were just under 2 MB - my 9800 Pro makes damn fine pictures but I haven't played with the screenshot fine-tuning yet.

I do not think they are married in RL. They told me that they met over two years ago playing EQ. They seem to have a long distance relationship though.

Made my cry when I saw Liro wearing the flightsuit and marine pack I gave him. *sigh* Someone needs to post the images of the night I left... and speaking of that.. THAT was Avian's first wedding.

X'ero has been claimed in the name of the sock!

You liked that, Orbie? I would've stayed in the flightsuit for the ceremony but I thought something a bit more ceremonial was in order!

As for the first wedding business, maybe I should have clarified by saying this was the first wedding that didn't give everyone the creeps. ;)
