On behalf of my superior, who unfortuantely has taken ill and is unable to respond at this time, Pfalzgraf von Papen gives your union his blessing, and has stated that his daughter couldn't have chosen a better man to marry.
_______________________
On behalf of all Dersconis, and Prussians, my own family and friends, and the entire body of government, I congratulate you on your marriage, and do wish the Lord's Blessings upon you, upon your wife, and upon your marriage. May you live happily until the end of time.
I do hope you enjoyed your gift. It is a relic from the Times of Rachek. The Seraphim do look nice on the pyramid, don't they?

My Dear Friend, the Crazy Tsar,
I thank you for your gift. It is very nice. I love the designs. I wanted it on my desk, but the wife is already rearranging things. She got it its own little table.
Again, I thank you for my second favorite gift. My first favorite is a bigger bed that folds into the office wall, so I don't have to return to my suite for a lunch break.
Blessings,
John

From: Queen of Jeruselem
I hope you enjoy you the wedding gift from the peoples of the Holy Land given by moi. Yes I send weird stuff sometimes, but I'm not exactly the person to follow convention. Now don't complain as finding decent undamaged Egyptian obelisks is not easy. This one dates from the New Empire era.
Anyway, may the relation last and be fruitful - "Go forth and multiply".
Love

Response from a member of the Royal Court of Brasland:
Well, genius, it happens that traditionally monarchs called their equals from other countries as "Cousin", even if they do not share common blood, so think twice before sending such an offensive reply to our King.

Mariah,
I love the gift. Thank you, as it goes with what the Cardinal gave me: a Cuban fertility symbol.
Blessings,
John

Reply to Brasland:
I am taking the time to reply personally to you. I am not quite a genius, thoguh do have a gifted IQ. No need to confuse the two. However, if you insult my staff members again, you will not have a member.
All future communications from you will be directed to the public e-mail address, unless deemed important.
His Majestic Highness John,
King of Cherry Ridge

Do not worry, Your Highness, the Kingdom of Brasland is not interested in mantaining any kind of relations with your nation. So this is the last time we speak to you.

A Message from the Throne of the Grand Emperor, The Mighty, The Noble Kael Narqu.
I wish to congratulate you on your marriage on behalf of the people of the Empire, and to state my desire that you shall remain happily wed for many long years to come.
Enclosed in the package this was delivered in was a sniper rifle. It may or may not have been confiscated by your Customs, but allow me to inform you of the specifications regardless.
It fires .75 caliber rocket propelled, explosive rounds and utilizes a standard bolt action mechanism. It is, as of the last time I checked, six feet long and capable of firing up to sixteen miles away. Suitably, its stock has been engraved with scenes deemed holy to your 'religion', and the barrel has been acid etched with many of the same scenes. In order to prevent damage to you should you decide to ever fire it for any reason, the butt of the stock has been padded with several inches of memory foam, which has been bonded to a velvet outer, and the latest anti-recoil devices have been installed, ensuring it should have only as much recoil as a high-calibre pistol.
With sincere care,
The Grand Emperor, Holiest of Men, Kael Narqu.

I offer you both, personally, hte most sincere and joyous of congratulations, and wish you the very best in your Marriage.
I have sent to you an envoy, which I do hope has by now been recieved, bearing gifts in the form of a relic of St. Stephen of Hungry, Patron of Kings (and Queens) and a man with a most fruitful Marraige.
May God Bless you both,
Queen-Guardian Germaine Gregory.

Grand Emperor Kael,
I thank you for your gift. My guards saw the weapon, and opened the package, however, I have recieved it. It is very interesting, and I will be keeping it close. Thank You.
Blessings,
His Majestic Highness John, King of Cherry Ridge

Queen Guardian Germaine,
We thank you greatly for your gift. The relic is being placed in the private Royal Chapel. Saint Stephen was a great saint, and we hope that you will pray for him to intercede on our behalf.
God Bless You,
His Majestic Highness John Antonette
Her Most Majestic Highness Katrina Antonette
