The Empire of Itinerate Tree Dweller Proudly Announces the Marriage of
Emperor Erik Kersk & Princess Persephone Rose
ooc: The ceremony is to be very private, as most ITD marriages are. The border had already been closed off to outside traffic and migration. The only military forces in another part of the world are the naval forces delivering the PT boats to the Directorate navy in the pacific. This is going to be a story line for the most part. It will begin tonight and end tommorow.

The days had arrived. The winter weather had been gentle to the ITD cities. The capital had only a light covering of snow, enough to make the city beautiful for the wedding ceremony. The city had taken the day off; most of the citizens had stayed home to observe the wedding on their television sets. The remainder of the city, the nobles and wealthy, had been invited to the ceremony, which would take place in the cities oldest church, The First Ninthian Church of the Lord. The church had long been owned and used exclusively for state matters. Nobles were often wed here, when they died they often had their funerals here. Regular citizen's attended the 10 smaller churches surrounding the main church.
Erik was waiting in his room, trying to decide which uniform to wear. He had several choices. There was the traditional garb of the Ninthian warrior, which consisted of loose fitting black clothing lined with blue trim, and an armband, which had 8 small gold stars surrounding a red large star. The band signified the absolute power his tribe had over the lesser tribes, the color represented the blood of his fallen ancestors who perished and suffered under the tyranny of the other 8 tribes, which ended with the rise of Xerik. He could also wear the garb of the Emperor, which was similar to the Ninthian warrior uniform, except for his crown, the arm band bearing the imperial crest, the golden sword of which was soaked in the blood of his fallen forefathers, as it would be soaked in his. The other outfit was his ITDGF uniform, which was more or less a military uniform. Erik chose the garb of the Emperor, which would represent the best of his tribe and the absolute authority of his rule.
Persephone had her dress handed down from her mother, which was traditional. First-born daughters would often wear the gowns of their mother, and their mother’s mother. She looked ravishing in the dress. The white gown looked both new and ancient and was complimented by sapphires and diamonds, which were sewn into the dress. She awaited the military escort promised by her fiancée.
