The Holy Nation of Tewron thanks you for your invitation, I will surely be there. As a present we bring you four battle griffons (our national animal), they can be vicious as lions when protecting the good President and his lady, but when no enemies are near they are so safe you can even let children play with them.

President John soon arrived at the Presidental Mansion. He got out of the Presidental Transport and entered the mansion.

President John then went to the kitchen to get a drink of water. He was so nervous the water spilled all over the floor. So he cleaned it up and went to his room to relax.

President John started reading a book.

[OOC: Don't worry about it. Kawau can't come, and you wouldn't want this hodan here anyway, if you don't want your children being the spawn of Baka. Also, will you spread the irises on the walkway at the wedding? It is rather important to the meaning of the message, just curious]

An aid comes rushing into the President's office hold ing a piece of paper.

Aid: Mr. President! I have a priority one message!

R.L.: We can't hesitate! Arm the ICBMs!

Aid: No, sir, not that kind of priority message. Here, read for yourself.

He hands the note to R.L. When he is finished reading, a look of joy is on his face.

R.L.:Finally, somrthing not having to do with invading. Quickly, assemble a C-130 and call the local dealership, I want matching Corvettes for the lucky couple onloaded within the hour. Call ahead and R.S.V.P!

Aid: At once, sir!

The aid rushes out of the room as R.L. makes his way to his private Blackhawk on the roof where his pilot is waiting.

R.L.:Quickly, to Holy Paradise without delay!

Pilot: As you wish, sir.

The chopper takes off, followed shortly after by a C-130 bound for the HP Presidential airstrip.

Because Holy Paradise is one of RB's staunchest and most loyal ally- and because President John is one of President J.L.'s oldest and closest friends- J.L. would very much like to attend the wedding. He will be bringing his wife, Thiansiri. Our gifts include a three ton elephant statue carved of gold, a treasure chest filled with over seven hundred of the world's most valuable gemstones, an ancient sword of incalculable historical value, five automobiles of John's choice, one pound of the finest Roach-Busterian caviar (a mere ounce is worth thousands), twelve thousand roses, and a $2.50 card from Hallmark.

Thank you for accepting our invitation, President J.L. and the gifts. I'd like the 5 best stretch limos in the world if possible for our arrival and such. Please make sure they are bullet-proof though.

Five two-hundred foot limos (with swimming pools, helicopter landing pads, missile launchers, satellite phones, and supercomputers) which are bullet proof and missile proof, and can travel at speeds in excess of one-hundred and fifty miles per hour, will be given to President John. J.L. looks forward to attending the wedding very much.

By the way, John and his lovely soon-to-be wife are more than welcome to have part of their honeymoon in RB. They can stay in the beautiful Presidential Palace. Among RB's tourist attractions are rainforests which are home to some of the world's rarest animals, ancient temples thousands of years old, dozens of historical and science museums, a pristine 'adult-only' (;)) beach, and hundreds of the finest shops in the world. Should you come to RB for part of the honeymoon, everything will be free of charge. Transportation and security are available upon request, also at no charge.

Shelby P. entered her room she would stay at until after the wedding.(The custom in Holy Paradise marriages is the bride and groom must sleep in seperate rooms until the after the wedding. No historian can trace when and where the custom originated.) She was excited but nervous. Many world leaders would be attending the wedding. What if she messed up at the wedding? Poor John would be so embarassed! Suddenly, Pres. John entered the room. He sat down with Shelby and told her to relax."Everything will be fine," President John said. And with that they kissed each other. Then President John had to leave to welcome the people who would be attending.

OOC:Everyone who's attending or wishes to attend can come whenver they want.

As the Blackhawk and C-130 touched down in HP, President R.L. contacted John via videophone from the airport.

R.L.: Hey, John, remember me from your Civil War? Hey, listen, congrats. I've brought you some presents.

He moves aside as two jet black Corvettes roll out of the cargo door of the massive transport.

R.L.: I would also give you lifetime visas into RS, but all allies are already welcome to come and go as they please, so instead I've filled the trunks with 2 billion emerald galleons (national currency) each. I hope you like them and I'll see you shortly.

The videophone disconnects as you see the President's personal Humvee stretch limo rolls out of the plane.

The Corvettes are driven by guards to the Presidential palace where they are given one more check for any explosives and things of the sort. When the test came up negative, a Humvee came and drove them to the hotel, where R.L. was already settling in.

In Roach-Busters, President J.L. was spending thousands hiring a tailor to make the best tuxedo (for himself, of course) and dress (for Thiansiri) the world had ever seen. This was no ordinary wedding. It was the wedding of one of his best friends. He wanted to look his sharpest.
Holy Paradise
29-08-2004, 01:46
President John then returned from his office and laid down on his bed. The wedding would have to be short, and the honeymoon delayed. It was too dangerous for him and his soon-to-be wife to go a country in the middle of a war.

Michael stepped into the hovercraft, "Make sure the deal with our friends go okay, I trust you Tel", "Don't worry, everything will go smoothly", Tel said and smiled, "Okay, of we go!".

The hover lifted of, and as soon as it was out of range, Tel chuckled for himself, "How can anything go wrong?" Tel whispered, "What enemies do we have anyway?"

OOC: RB? I'll be President J.L. and send him to the wedding okay?

IC: President John got on his tuxedo and was driven to the National Cathedral with his bride. She was extremely beautiful with her golden bride's dress and veil. Her long, brown hair reached all the way to the mid-section of her back. Her smile was the brightest John had ever seen in his entire life.
Meanwhile, President J.L. and his wife, Thiansiri, left the Presidental Palace for the Holy Paradise National Cathedral in Holy Paradise City. The big day had finally come.
Holy Paradise
29-08-2004, 16:35
The Presidental Transport stopped at the cathedral. President John H. and Shelby P. got out and entered the huge but beautiful church. They left each other to the dressing rooms. President J.L. arrived soon. A messenger had a note for him and Thiansiri:

President J.L.? President John wishes for you to be the best man. First Lady Thiansiri? Shelby P. wishes for you to be the maid of honor. Your suit and dress are in the dressing rooms.

President J.L. and First Lady Thiansiri left for the dressing rooms. President J.L. got into the tuxedo, and First Lady Thiansiri got into the dress. The wedding was about to begin.

His Emperorship Alexander I of the Alexian Empire regrets that he could not attend your wedding do to severe internal problems,(see The Alexian Empire thread)but would like to congradulate the good president on his marrige,and wishes you a long and happy life together.He also sends this gift of an emperial pie.May the divinity/s/divine power/fortune of your choice bless you,and may you rule for a hundred years

A pie,in a pie box,that looks just like a normal American factory pie is added to the gifts,with a letter tacked on to it for the president which reads:I must offer my condolences for your terrible predicament.I hope your marriage hinders your lifestyle and brings the least amount of misery possible to you.Tell your girl I said hi.

Suddenly, the cathedral bells rang. The pipe organ began playing and the first pair of bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the aisle. It continued until Best Man President J.L and Maid of Honor First Lady Thiansiri walked down the aisle.
Then everyone stood up. The music changed to the famous wedding march. Then the bride appeared with her father. Her beauty seemed to brighten up the entire cathedral. She walked down the aisle with grace and stood right next to President John. "Dearly Beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate the sacrament of Holy Matrimony between President John H. and Shelby P." the bishop said.
About an hour later, the groom and the bride said their "I do"s and then the bishop said to President John, "You may now kiss the bride." President John lifted up the veil and kissed Shelby P. on the lips. The bishop then exclaimed,"I present to you Mr. and Mrs. John H.!" Everyone clapped and cheered as the newlyweds walked down the aisle and outside to get pictures along with the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, the ring bearer, the flower girl, and the readers.
