Mr and Mrs Barley's wedding.

Yesterday Derristan Barley and Piper Pike finally got married! It only took them about 20 IG years, 10ish of those as engaged, to get there! Me personally I had a blast, there was a lot of fun interactions from the guests, lots of tears, lots of laughs and of course lots of love! I truly enjoyed playing this wedding and it was so much fun to see so many people show up.

Big kudos to:
Piper Pike, star of the show! For getting this ball rolling and setting a date but also for playing such a fun and unique character, the happy couple truly proves the theory that opposites attracts!

To the bridesmaid and groomsmen. Catherine and Geralt Duskwood and Korlic Bungir! The quiet interactions between the group was a joy during the event.

To Meriam Fuzzypaw for engaging the two, for rolling with the flow and also the previous interaction to calm the groom's nerves. I feel I can always count on this player to make things very wholesome and I was not disappointed.

To Thekla Thunderfoot for her help in setting up the stage and the eagerness to see her First Axe finally get married. Special kudos for drawing up a wedding layout too. Efficient! Both Korlic and Thekla did a great job setting the stage, so thank you for that!

To Dora Goodman for her musical accompaniment to truly set the stage for the loving couple.

To Aliana and Elysia for setting up the race and the riddles for the festival afterwards, unfortuntely we never went through riddles but hope to at another time!

To Aurlyn, Saoirse and Ren for their great performance towards the end of the festival!

For the the amazing homemade gifts too. The work put behind some of the items was truly impressive. So big kudos to Meriam and Maya Fuzzypaws, Aurlynn and Aldros Rivorndir, Vance Gravelle, Barg, Saoirse, Samantha Goodman and Nina for your creativity.

And finally a big kudos to everyone who showed up to make the event special.
The screenshots were taken by Korlic, Eliath, Angela and Meriam.

Just want to echo the praise (and patience for how long it took them!) of all those involved. Each helped make it a special occasion, from the rambunctious crowd and eager festival goers to all who helped set it up, make outfits for it and put in some serious work for gifts, some of you put real life wedding gifts to shame!

Couldn't have asked for a better turnout and festival afterwards.

Shame i couldnt stay longer on the party :(
But the opportunity to see this wedding by myself was great fun! (Even I've got a bit emotional at some point >.>)

Even if im not that often on surface right now, im hoping to see the freshly wed couple together <3
Best luck and love for Barley's.

This was one wedding a character of mine could not miss (Trizzon). Probably the most anticipated wedding on Arelith if ya ask me. You guys imo did it right. The RL time you guys dated, were engaged and eventually going thru with it, freakin awesome. Most folks have gone thru 5 characters in that time frame if not more, lol. Or some have gone thru 3 wives by that time. Just Impressive you two.

I laughed so much at everything/everyone. The stories were great and his show of his love for her in public, THAT was amazing to watch the reactions. I swear there had to be at least 5 couple that responded to that by either taking each others hands or just moving closer if not truly a couple yet.

So many people put so much time, effort and thought into this event, it really showed why I love this server so much. Even if I was keeping to myself, it was a blast and damn happy I didn't miss it.

Kudos to everyone there for making it so a fun time.

Amazing wedding, and a long time coming! Even though I heard it held a fair bit of scandal, like there being two best men, heh.. Scandalous.

Loved the wedding! And on a bear rug to boot - hopefully it survived :P Catherine's best and oldest friends - the "Grizzly" Barleys! (You know - the whole island used to call Derristan the Grizzly, it's true).

I'm really glad Mather got to be there, having become close to Derristan these past few years I am glad he was able to see this wedding, finally, happen before leaving. Piper and Derristan are the best!
