Gates of the Moon

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"Godswood or Sept, Dominic? I assume you hold to the old gods like Rhodri," Wayman asks.

[Deleted]

"I understand, my lord."

[morsbolton]

"If this marriage would be in the southern lands, it seems fit that it should take place under southern gods,"

[Deleted]

"It would please me to pray to the Maiden in thanks, and to the Mother in hope," Alla added.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"Then I shall summon the Septon. This way," Lord Wayman says, and leads them to the Sept. "A quick ceremony then? It seems you are eager to ride to your kinsman."

The septon emerges.

[Deleted]

"A moment, please, sers."

Alla disappeared into a chamber with several maids for 20 minutes. When she emerged, she was wearing a beautiful gown made of silver samite. Her maiden's cloak hung from her shoulders - sable and silver, the colors of House Hunter. Her lush hair was bound up in a hairnet that twinkled with gemstones.

Although it was clear she had been in a rush, she made a pretty picture.

[morsbolton]

"Not to eager, my brother can live with out me for a little while longer I am sure."

Dominic could not help but grin at the site of his wife to be, sure it was rushed, such drawn out things never interested him. He stood beside his wife in a dark fur cloak with the flayed man of Bolton stitched to his chest.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Once Dominic and Alla are set at the front of the sept, the septon begins the service.

[Deleted]

Alla Hunter looked a bit annoyed that her husband-to-be hadn't commented on her dress, but she put on a smile as the service began.

[morsbolton]

Dominic eyed his wife thinking a few thoughts that would be more then a little belittling of a woman of high standard, she wont like Dreadfort she could bring a septon with her if she liked, I owe her that much, I hope.

[Deleted]

The septon went through the ceremony, invoking all the gods of the Seven, and then Dominic Bolton exchanged Alla Hunter's maiden's cloak for the pink cloak of House Bolton. And then the ceremony was complete.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

The wedding guests, mostly the handful of castle courtiers, Lord Wayman's kin, and the traveling Boltons, prepare for the bedding.

One man, cloak drawn up over his head, watches silently.

[Deleted]

The couple are stripped and put into a bedchamber for the night.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

The cloaked man leaves the hall before the bedding begins.

[Deleted]

As their lady is being bedded upstairs, Alla's maids pack up her belongings, including her sword - which she has been well trained in - her shield, and her longbow.
