Sunday Wedding

I attended a wedding on Sunday and here is a full report of what happened, etc. Kenshiro Pevensey and Franziskus Ninetails exchanged vows in a ceremony that was creative yet tasteful. It was officiated by Rev. Jordan Carnell.

The wedding was attended by:
  • Spanki Moulliez
  • Eileanoir Braveheart
  • Cindy Rang
  • JoJo Mandel
  • Dafydd Sodwind
  • DeliciousDemon Chemistry
  • Kyne Tigerpaw
  • Neville Braveheart
  • Bac Compton
  • Mickael Pevensey
  • Wulfric Draconia
  • Ades Kanto
  • sabine Bolissima
  • Ralf Argus
  • Rio Paulino
  • Master Deakins
  • Heloq Tomsen
  • Mike Maximov
  • Spinaker Avro
  • Heya Jordyn
  • Vernidi Avro
  • Rammy Urriah (me) (if I forgot anyone please let me know)

Here is a full report of the ceremony. The first thing you saw was a portrait of the couple with two sets of pink flowers to the sides. Everything had a midnight theme except the couple who each wore white capes and suits. Many of the attendees wore dark clothes. Some were nekos in tuxedos. It was quite a formal entrance. Then the audience walked up a winding staircase to the place where the ceremony took place.

The actual place where the couple stood was done with torches, blue water, and rams' heads on the wall. It was formal. Rev. Carnell said, "gentlemen.. to your poseballs.." which was a sort of SL way to have a ceremony I guess. Then he carefully took the goblet.. held it high in the air.. and said: "The Priest Kings surely bless this union.." and then places it gently handed it off to Franz..

Then Franz made his vows:
"to uphold your honour, to protect you and heal you in times you need, to share with you the ownership of my slaves and my homes, to honor you above all men, to bring honour to your name and our joined households, to respect you as my Companion and as my protector, to discuss with you any acquisition of new property, to share with you the decision and responsibility with slaves, of any harsh punishments, branding, tattooing and piercing, to love you as my Free Companion, my lover, my friend and my brother through the bad times as well as the good times. This I, Franziskus Ninetails, Magistrate of Silver Tree, vow."

Then the goblet was passed to Kenshi and Kenshi made his vows:
"Sir Franziskus Ninetails, Magistrate of Silver Tree, to be faithful to you and our Free Companionship, to uphold your honour, to protect you and heal you in times you need, to share with you the ownership of my slaves and my homes, to honor you above all men, to bring honour to your name and our joined households, to respect you as my Companion and as my protector, to discuss with you any acquisition of new property, to share with you the decision and responsibility with slaves, of any harsh punishments, branding, tattooing and piercing, to love you as my Free Companion, my lover, my friend and my brother through the bad times as well as the good times. This I, Kenshiro Pevensey Head Slaver and Ambasador of Silver Tree, vows."

Then Jordyn Carnell again carefully took the goblet.. held it high in the air.. and said "The Priest Kings surely bless this union.." And so they were married.

Fear of Not Being Original

The other night Leigh and Rico told me that JoshBear Sojourner was looking for panels for a AIDS quilt. Well I guess it wouldn't really be a quilt since it could be 3-D. I wanted to make a panel but I didn't have any good ideas. I ended up making a real dumb panel and now I don't think it's really very good. It is just a black box with a red ribbon. I should have thought more before I did it. Maybe I will get back and do a better one.

It is always funny when you make something and it is shown to other people. When ever you make something creative either one of two things occur: It is really cool and then you feel self conscious that people may think you are going to be an egotist for being "creative", OR it is really boring or stupid and then you feel self conscious that people will feel sorry for you because the thing you made is lame.

It is really strange to make things and then have other human beings look at them. I guess we do that in everything we do and artists are just the extreme of "thing" makers. Some people get self conscious about what they wear and what their hair looks like and so on because everything we do is sort of like art.

Well I haven't posted for a while, been too busy with some RL stuff. I put a picture on this post of me with hawk wings because I just felt like flying. They are some freebie wings I got somewhere, I think my friend Franz gave them to me.

I don't know if anyone has people they know outside of SL who think we are all a bunch of wackos. People say "You should not be playing games but should be living REAL life." I don't know what to think because I like all my friends here. Maybe we are all a couple bricks shy of a load as they used to say. Well anyway on Sunday I have an SL wedding to go to. I will post more on that later. I hope everyone is doing well.
