Two horses can be heard before they are scene, and they roar galloping into the courtyard. Two women ride the beasts, both dressed in vaguely mannish clothes. Slowly they dismount and begin to cross the courtyard toward the hall.
Suddenly the two see the two men and freeze. The girls are both long and athletic, but as different as two kinds of flower. The taller one with auburn hair and the physique of a bean pole immediately covers her mouth with her hand; her large brown eyes opening wide. Her slightly shorter companion has long dark tresses, and her light blue eyes stare challengingly at the two men.

Sylvan raises an eyebrow, "Excuse me, my lady, have we done something to offend?"

An old man and a young boy comes riding to the Keep with about a dozen knights, all bearing the the three candles of Wickenden. Brandon looks as uncomfortable on his horse as he has always been, though his son Patrek seems to enjoy it.
Brandon spots Brynden, Lord Hunter's daughters and a Dondarrion. Brandon dismounts, "Good day to you ladies, cousin, Dondarrion and... I've never seen you before, Ser?" Brandon greeted then looked at the riverlander. Patrek just gave a small bow to the people present.

The taller girl curstied roughly, "I am the Lady Blair. I am pleased to meet you, lord." Twice during the speech she glanced at her friend, who continued to stare cooly at the men.

Blair glanced at her friend again, before squaring to face Brynden, sighing she replied, "It is an honor to met you Lord Royce. I have been looking forward to this day with with both eagerness, and just a hint of trepidation."
Her curvier friend snorted after she had finished speaking.

William looked a the father and son as they arrive, "This wedding is turning into a true party." "Well don't get too drunk, you never know who you might end up in bed with," Brandon grimaced. "Do you think I can drink, Father?" Patrek asked. Brandon looked at his son and seemed to consider it, "No" he said finally. Patrek pouted. Brandon turned to Brynden, "You have heard the decree no doubt? The one about the King". |

The lady with the flinty blue eyes gave the smallest of curtsies, "I am Melinda Stone my lord. My mother was a cousin of Lord Edric's."
Blair burst in over Melinda, "She is also my one true friend. And she has sworn to help me on this most exciting of days."
Melinda looks back at Blair and nods, "Of course." She took Blair's hand and says, "Come with me, sister and I will help you." The two woman walk away.

Lady Blair looks scared with a false smile painted on. But she walks easily down the isle with her betrothed.

William as a guest of Lord Brynden stands at the front. He had always liked weddings and was enjoying watching his friend.

"I haven't heard about any decree," Brynden said to Brandon, looking puzzled. "It's probably because Lord William and I have been travelling. What's the decree, cousin?" Brandon hands Brynden one of the notes that has been passed around the entire realm, "Read this". |
