On Thursday, June 18th of 2013, Val and Martyr officially tied the knot! It was a lot of fun to play out, but it was a private scene. Which was less chaotic, but at the same time, I wish that more people were able to come! I'd like to thank everyone that gave support, and a HUGE thank you to Fiona O'Neill who went above and beyond to provide all of this amazing stuff below! My only regret is that it went unused but I would like to share it with all of you. Thanks again! Buffet menu uses vegetarian menu, but I tried to make it so it was not obvious. Feel free to pick your own menu and recipes as you like. I got my recipes from

Change the layout of the posts as you prefer. I only tried to go with an order that made sense in my head at the time. I highly recommend doing them all in one thread, and letting people add on to that one thread.

Anyway, to sum up, change everything and anything you like cuz this is your wedding. I just got you a starting point. At least you'll see things you hate and things you love, so it'll give you a better direction.

Celebrating Martyr and Valcroix

He found her wandering the streets, without a memory. She found him decaying in his business suit, without a care for anyone else. Her blood gave him youth and a new spirit of love. His love gave her a reason to start a new chapter. From their love, they created a new life together, their daughter Max.

Congratulations to Martyr and Valcroix!

The wedding ceremony will be held in a private setting with the couple and their wedding party. The wedding reception will be held in The Great Hall or in The Marketplace on a date and time to be determined in the future.

Dance Floor And Bar

Guests are encouraged to hit the purple dance floor. The enormous room is lit with stunning red lights that illuminate the expanding walls and ceiling. Lighted crown chandeliers are scattered over the dance floor, paying tribute to the royal blood in the happy couple. Elegant white couches and chairs nearby let tired guests regain their strength. Stop by the bar for a little pick-me-up to last the whole night long. The bar features beautiful red backlights behind the classy glass bottles. Purple chairs and ottomans line the area to continue the stunning color theme.

Horsehair Wedding Vase Favors

To pay homage to two of Martyr's passions, pottery and horses, decorated around the room were many Horsehair Wedding Vases. Some hold vibrant red, purple and white flower arrangements. Guests are encouraged to take one as a gift.

In Native American traditions, before a wedding, the medicine man would prepare a special potion for the couple. The mixture signified the promise of deep love and eternal happiness for the couple. The couple sealed the promise by drinking simultaneously from the vase, each using one of the two spouts.

One such pottery technique used in Native American pottery is the "horsehair? style. The marbling look is achieved by placing actual horsehair on the pots during the firing process and singeing the horsehair into the pottery, making each design completely unique.
