Ooc: I plan on making the wedding a vignette like post, there will not be a RP thread with interactions etc. I will do my best to make some small references to the guests that confirm their participation. Feel free to reply here IC or just OOC confirm you are coming.
All invitations (see below, I tried to write a short one for each country/guest) will also include the below itinerary and dress code:
IC: “Thank you for considering the invitation to the wedding of the Crown Prince of the Tamoran Empire,
Jamshid Safavid, to Princess
Thekla Soter of the Emirate of Royal Seleucid. Should you agree to come, we would like to inform you that the wedding ceremony will be starting at 11:00 AM at the Great Temple of Djerb, one of the most holy places of our faith. The ceremony will be conducted by the Supreme Ayatollah, the leader of all who profess to follow the Prophet, who will bound Princess Thekla to Crown Princess Jamshid for eternity. We respectfully ask you observe attire that is respectful for the occasion, the presence of God and in accordance to Tamoran standards. We also ask our female guests to cover their head at all times while inside the temple. Our guests need not worry, should they lack a garment to cover their heads, a hijab can be provided as a gift by the staff at the entrance of the Great Temple. Female guests can of course remove their head covering at any time as long as they have left the premise of the Temple prior to doing it.
The wedding ceremony will last approximately two hours and afterwards you are invited to the Imperial palace for the celebration. In accordance with the example of our Prophet we will not be providing alcohol based drinks and we respectfully ask you to not bring such drinks even as wedding gifts.
We hope you enjoy your stay.”

Djerb will welcome you and anyone of your family you choose not just as great guests but as family.
I look forward to seeing you in Djerb.
