A Long Road to Marriage
« on: December 16, 2019, 10:55:23 PM »

The Kingdom of East Moreland is happy to announce that on the 22nd February 2020 His Majesty King David III of East Moreland shall marry Duchess Stasya of Seabrooke. The wedding shall take place at the Temple of Helus in Northfort and will be followed by the coronation of a new Queen of East Moreland. The occasions shall be celebrated at Northfort Royal Palace. As the day ceremony shall coincide with the annual Festival of Helus, making the ceremonies more auspicious, space within the Temple of Helus shall be limited and therefore foreign nations wishing to attend shall be limited to three per nation. The following reception however shall have no limit placed upon on it.

The King has also requested that the traditional military escort be made up of representatives from the Cultist community across the world. He therefore extends an invite to the following nation to send a Cultist worshipping military officer to be part of the escort should they wish.

*Royal Seleucid
*Achkaerin
*Bakkermaya
*Vaguzia
*Rokkenjima (OOC-Included because of the Cult link via Paul the Explorer)

It is our hope that nations will permit their officers to take part in the ceremony.

Additionally the day following the ceremony shall see the King hold a series of meetings with the nobility of East Moreland or if requested foreign dignitaries. Any nation wishing to have such a meeting are requested to inform us ahead of schedule.

We look forward to welcoming you to East Moreland in February.

May The Gods Watch Over You and Your Nation Know Peace

Quinn Germaine
Head of Royal Household.

The First Empire celebrates the upcoming marriage of King David and Duchess Stasya. It is our best wishes that the couple shall enjoy many decades of union, joy and support together. Having had the opportunity to come to know Duchess Stasya I am confident that she shall make a faithful and excellent Queen of East Moreland.

Having spoken with many Cultists who serve in the Imperial Rokkenjiman Armed Services Captain Hamasaki Yumiko of the Imperial Rokkenjiman Destroyer Sentinel shall be sent to take part in the military escort.

The First Empire shall also desire a meeting with the Kingdom as your schedule permits.

With jubilance,


Empress of Rokkenjima
Princess of Littlebrook

Beatrice Anselmo
Grand Chancellor of the Independent Order
Empress of the First Empire of Rokkenjima

The Empire of Neu Uburzis congratulates the King and Duchess on their Upcoming Wedding.

After short contemplation, it has been decided that Emperor Orion the First, Prince Regent Albrecht, and Prince Augustin shall be attending the Ceremony, while we would request some of your Time for the Meetings with some of our Politicians and other Members of Nobility.


Siegrun von Uburzis,

Imperial Tutor and Head of the Houshold



PS:

I'll make sure the Twins will behave during the Meeting. We don't need a repetition of their Behavior from their last meeting with your Princess.

An Official Dispatch of the Imperial Synod

The Imperial Synod would like to extend our congratulation to the royal couple. To tie two lives together in this life means Necra shall guide you two together in the next. Empress Qi'rrow will be celebrating her 2nd birthday just days prior, and a royal wedding would be a wonderful way to end the celebrations. The Empress will be accompanied by a member of the Synod and hopefully our new rising Ascendant who has yet to be named. If time permits, a meeting between our two nations would also be desired.

Signed,
Suzerain Wrex

The Royal Confederation of Swastria sends its congratulations to the King and Duchess in the light of their upcoming marriage. As close neighbours and fellow AK realms, it would be thus highly appropriate and dignified if I were to attend the celebrations alongside the Queen and our three children. We would also like to have a private audience with the Morelander Royal Court if able.

Signed,

Karl IV von Habsburg-Liechtenstein
King of the Swastrians

The Holy Empire of Achkaerin sends its best wishes for the future to the soon to be married couple. I also send my personal congratulations to my good friend King David, I will be in attendance at the ceremony with my wife Renee and my daughter Crown Princess Serenity, do note that while my daughter's two children will likely be in attendance as well they will not be in the temple at the time so that we may respect the three person request. Representing the Achkaerinese military in King David's escort shall be Lieutenant Colonel Rion Ayanami.[1] I believe that the bond between Achkaerin and East Moreland remains strong, as such I would like to have a moment of King David's time to discuss a personal matter and other things.

On behalf of the Empire of Mueang Kin'khn & its people, I wish to offer my most sincerest & heartfelt of congratulation to His Majesty King David & Duchess Stasya. We hope that the union between the couple shall stand firm in the face of whatever adversity may come, and serve as a symbol for East Moreland and its people. And so I have decided that I shall be sending my youngest daughter, Her Imperial Highness Princess Tantasatityanon Thikhamphorn Yu-Phin, to attend the wedding alongside Kinkhn's Ambassador to East Moreland, Wattana Sanya Maliwan. I also request that my representatives be given a meeting with King David, if his schedule should permit it.

May your ancestors of both your clans bless this union.

Signed,
Her Imperial Majesty Tantasatityanon Thikhamphorn Saowakhon, Empress of the Kin'khn

With His Majesties wedding now just twenty days away we are proud to announce that the menu for the post-Wedding and Coronation banquet can be made public. The menu has been designed to be a reflection of the fresh produce availiable to East Moreland with some slight Lodjain twists. The meal will be cooked by highly respected Morelander chef James Martin. His Majesty looks forward to welcoming guests in just over a fortnight as you share in his happy occasion.

On behalf of the people of Paracambi I wish to extend my best wishes for this happy occasion and confirm my attendance along with my daughter. I would however like to request permission to come and visit several sites, instututions in East Moreland as soon as possible before the wedding on a fact finding mission to our trade partners via TUNA. There are also some matters of concern I have following incidents that recently took place in the ALucard, if possible I would appreciate a moment of your time prior to the wedding day to discuss these. I realise this is short notice but would like to get things cleared prior to the celebration.

With Ioa Blessings

Emperor Benson of Paracambi.

It was the morning after the wedding and at 10am David's alarm went off, he didn't recall exactly what time he'd gone to bed but it was certainly well past midnight. His head was slightly sore with what you could argue was a borderline handover and his mouth was drier than the desert of Waddan. He looked to his left, his new wife Stasya was still asleep and so gently he swung his legs out of bed and made his way into the bathroom closing the door gently behind him. He turned on the shower and waited for it to get going while looking at himself in the mirror. He had to laugh as he saw traces of his wife's lipstick on his neck and gave it a precautionary rub with his hand before stepping into the steaming shower. He was beginning to regret agreeing to stick with the tradition of having an open invitation for people to have discussions with him, a tradition that went back to some long forgotten point where coronations entitled people to an audience with the King. He left the bathroom and picked up the suit he'd left out last night all while managing to not disturb Stasya which was a skill in itself. He made his way along the corridor and downtairs where he found the ever efficient Quinn Germaine already in her office which acted as the gateway to the Kings own. "Good morning Quinn" David said as he walked in.

"Good Morning Your Majesty" Quinn said as she stood up picked up a few documents and followed him into his office. On the desk was a pot of coffee, some fruit, toast and jam. "As you'd expect you've a busy day. I've scheduled all your meetings for about an hour. There is a slight gap between them so if you over-run you're covered." She handed him the schedule. "You're booked into restaurant at 8pm, Duchess Stasy......I mean Queen Stasya said that was OK."

"Thanks Quinn" David looked over the schedule. He had about thirty minutes before the first and so while Quinn busied herself with work in her office David picked up the first of the briefing files and began to read.
