(OOC: You can breath easy II this won't be an open marriage ad lol)

An oversized carriage, that is all these tourists rides were. Obviously with no motor vehicles how does anyone see the sights? Aboard was [name of your character] one of the many tourists who flocked to Kurona, to see if it really was a nation semi-locked in time, or just had family there. "Over there is the Sonomi Memorial, it gives memory to the two greatest natural disasters that ever struck Sonomi. First the great flood in the October Storm Crisis of 2005, the second in the tornado that tore through this city. Many died in the disasters and many died trying to help thoes that could not be helped themselves. The memorials stand where a statue of her royal highness once stood. Her majesty demanded her statue be replaced with a memorial.

Meanwhile Tomoyo changed from her profesional royal attire into some sports wear. "I'm going down for a game. Be back before too long."

"Enjoy your self your majesty."

She entered the tennis court. For now she was all alone. She was reminded suddenly of when a tourist girl beat her several times. Now that girl was a citizen of this country. It made Tomoyo chuckle to her self. She began practicing

OOC: Is this open? Or is it just between you two?

Charles Weaver was an Anglophone citizen of Latin Byzantines, his parents descended from English settlers of past centuries. He was a handsome young man who hoped to visit Kurona after hearing of a good offer from a travel agency. After exploring the city of Sonomi for a while, he went to the tennis court and found a young lady. Coming towards her, he extended his racket and calmly began talking to her.

"Would you like to play a game?"

Mereshka-yes, I'm afraid it's closed

"I'd love to play a game." Tomoyo said happily.

Mereshka-yes, I'm afraid it's closed

"I'd love to play a game." Tomoyo said happily.

They played a couple of games, with Charles coming out victorious in each one. After the last game, he looked at his opponent and smiled. "Thank you for the games, you are a good player you know."

"Thanks." Tomoyo said panting. "You are great your self, i'm still a beginner."

"Thanks." Tomoyo said panting. "You are great your self, i'm still a beginner."

"It is alright. Remember, practice makes perfect." Charles said with a smile. They both got changed into normal attire and then Charles got a glimpse of his opponent in royal style clothing. "You must be wealthy to have clothes like that." Charles said as he studied Tomoyo for a brief moment.

"Hmm, one could say that...You see I'm...."

"Your Grace!" Called an attendent. "Your grace, you forgot your personal racket."

"Thank you." Tomoyo said. She gave a bow and the attendent bowed as well.

"Well I guess it's obvious now, I am-"

"Hey!" Called a few passerbuys, "It's the Princess!"

'"It's Tomoyo, It really is her"

"I'm a Princess. The Ruling Princess of this nation."

"Hmm, one could say that...You see I'm...."

"Your Grace!" Called an attendent. "Your grace, you forgot your personal racket."

"Thank you." Tomoyo said. She gave a bow and the attendent bowed as well.

"Well I guess it's obvious now, I am-"

"Hey!" Called a few passerbuys, "It's the Princess!"

'"It's Tomoyo, It really is her"

"I'm a Princess. The Ruling Princess of this nation."

(I'm going to send you a telegram)

Charles was amazed to see that his opponent was a princess, the reigning princess of Kurona and that he played with royalty without even knowing he did. He gave a bow before getting another look at his royal opponent and then, after thinking for a brief moment, asked Tomoyo a question. "Do you think you could.....show me around the city?" He was a bit nervous after that, after all he just asked a royal princess to be his tour guide.

"I'd love to!" Tomoyo flagged down her carriage. "Hop in."

"I'd love to!" Tomoyo flagged down her carriage. "Hop in."

Charles hopped in with a sense of gladness and relief as he listened to everything Tomoyo had to say about the city. She was quite a good tour guide, he thought.

"Are you enjoying Kurona so far? It really is a wonderful place. This is hightly unorthodox but would you like to come to the Palace for a while?"

"Are you enjoying Kurona so far? It really is a wonderful place. This is hightly unorthodox but would you like to come to the Palace for a while?"

Charles told Tomoyo that Kurona was quite the nice place but when he was asked if he wanted to come to the Palace, it amazed him that he would be given such an honor. "I would like to see the Palace." Charles said in response.

"Back to the Palace Driver." The carriage made way. They returned to the Palace, the largest set of buidlings in Sonomi, and the oldest. They retained the classical Japanese Archetecture. Inside it was just as classy, many decorations and nicnacs. A giant Flag haning dead center in the room, a large crucufix painted onto the floor. Several lanterns lit the room. "Come, you must be hungry, I'll take you to the dining room."

It was more of an honor, Charles thought, that he'd be eating in the dining room of Kurona's reigning princess. The dining room looked splendid with all its decorations, typical of royalty. He took his seat, thanking Tomoyo and then waited to see what else she had to say to him.

"May I ask, what brings you to Kurona?"

"May I ask, what brings you to Kurona?"

"I thought Kurona would be a nice place to visit." Charles replied.

"We ceritanly have been getting a lot of visitors lately. It's amazing to me, I think it would have been amazing to my father."

"We ceritanly have been getting a lot of visitors lately. It's amazing to me, I think it would have been amazing to my father."

"A lot of visitors you say? I guess your tourism industry must be thriving." Charles remarked.

"It is. Kurona hasn't been a great tourist destination before. But it seems to be changing."

"It is. Kurona hasn't been a great tourist destination before. But it seems to be changing."

"That is good to hear." Charles said. "Your Highness, may I ask what our lunch shall be composed of?"

"For Lunch, we will have a crab salad. It's a very large salad with bits of crab chopped up into it. Sometimes lobster get's mixed into it."

Two bowls were placed in front of them as well as a rack full of dressing. "I don't know what Kind of dressing you like so I had the kitchen get every bottle out."

"For Lunch, we will have a crab salad. It's a very large salad with bits of crab chopped up into it. Sometimes lobster get's mixed into it."

Two bowls were placed in front of them as well as a rack full of dressing. "I don't know what Kind of dressing you like so I had the kitchen get every bottle out."

Before Charles would eat his salad, he wanted to inquire about the dressing. "Is there any....Kuronan dressings I may put on my salad?"

"The Olive Dressing is home grown."

"The Olive Dressing is home grown."

"I would like some of that." Charles said.

"It's in the bottle on the far right. It has a picture of Olive Branches on it so even the tourists can understand."

Charles had his lunch and then was given a tour of the Palace, he spent hours at the Palace with Tomoyo and soon he felt he should get going. He was prepared to leave the Palace and was about to go when he looked at Tomoyo. "Thank you for the good day." If she wanted to see him again, here was a good time to ask about that.

"Your so very welcome. You know perhaps tomorrow, we can get together again."

"Your so very welcome. You know perhaps tomorrow, we can get together again."

"Sure, we can get together again. The only question is how do we contact each other?"

"Well where are you staying?"

"Well where are you staying?"

"I am staying at a hotel, the Hotel Sonomi I believe it is called."

"Wonderful, that is only a few blocks away. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Wonderful, that is only a few blocks away. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Charles nodded and they set tomorrow morning as when they would meet again. The rest of Charles' day was spent exploring the city before he stayed up a bit late with Kurma language television and soon came tomorrow morning.....

The next morning brought an overcast of thunderstroms. The night was calm but the morning was not. Tomoyo's carriage pulled up to the hotel, and umbrella was opened for her as she walked into the hotel.

"Just a moment your grace, I have ringed him and he should be down momentairly."

"Thank you."

Charles came down to the carriage and gave Tomoyo a bow before they went into the carriage. As the carriage sped off, going along the streets, Charles looked at his royal friend and began to speak. "What shall we be doing today?"

"I was hoping to show you a bit of Kurona's country side. It's really very pretty, but with this weather it's not a good idea. This isn't opted for traveling on muddy roads. So I'll give you a tour of the Royal Palace."

"I was hoping to show you a bit of Kurona's country side. It's really very pretty, but with this weather it's not a good idea. This isn't opted for traveling on muddy roads. So I'll give you a tour of the Royal Palace."

"I thought we had done a tour of the Royal Palace? Well, I would not mind another." Charles replied.

"No, I never took you through the whole building."

"No, I never took you through the whole building."

"Sorry for that. Then let's go see the entire building."

"Back to the Palace, please."

"Yes ma'am."


They arrived. Tomoyo first led him to the Chamber of all Government business. "We conduct all matters of state. That is where I sit and dictate. The seat next to me is the Cheif Advisor of the Cabinate, and beside that well it's been vacant. It's suppose to be where the Prince or Princess is supposed to sit. The spouse I mean. My mother sat there when my father was in power."

My mother sat there when my father was in power."

Charles listened to all the information Tomoyo had to say, he thought she was quite the good tour guide and he offered condolences to Tomoyo for the loss of her parents. As they finished exploring the entire Royal Palace, Charles and Tomoyo looked at each other, their eyes soon locking together.

(I thought we could get things going)

(Yeah sorry for being so slow)

Tomoyo abrubtly turned and blushed. As the days passed on Tomyo's feelings for this person were growing. It was intresting but Tomoyo wasn't sure about them. It confused her and frightend her a little. A princess and a commoner? As old fassioned as it was the relationship was very regarded in a taboo fassion. Tomoyo's life and her crediblity as a Princess could be threatend. She went to the Shinto Shrines and prayed, meditated and conversed with her self. "I know it's wrong," She dictated outloud, "But my heart tells me something...My heart tells me he could be the one. But I have the honor of my father and my mother to think about. But I am the daughter, if I marry, I mark the end of the Mikanu family. Oh Mama, Papa, this would be so much easier if you were with me." Tomoy wrestled with her thoughts through the night. Her dream was facinating, she was conversing with her self. An exact double of her self.

"What is it your heart tells you?" Asked the double Tomoyo.

"That he is the one I love." Tomoyo responded.

"Your hear never lies. Put aside your thoughts, and put your heart where it is."

"I will. I will. I WILL!" Tomoyo shot up from her bed. She spedily raced to the hotel. She remained proper, tonight, she would propose.

"Hello Charles....I have a treat for you tonight...Dinner, and a special show of my appreciation for being a wonderful person. You will be the first non political figure to uhh well..." Tomoyo felt awkward. It wasn't her proposal but it was going to be where her proposal would be. The Royal Bath. A large almost swimming pool like sized tub where Tomoyo bathed. Onsen would be packed, otherwise she would take him to the hotsprings. "You get to use the Royal Bath. With me. I know it's strange but it's a Kuronan culture norm. Bathing together with close freinds is a culture norm."

Perfect, how could he refuse a culture norm?

Perfect, how could he refuse a culture norm?

Charles had stayed up during the night, thinking of Tomoyo. When Charles was told he could be the first non political figure to use the Royal Bath, he accepted it and soon the time came for them to get in the baths. As they sat for a while, soaking in the pool like sized tub, Tomoyo kept staring at Charles, she was nervous around the man he loved. As they sat there, Tomoyo began to speak....she was proposing to him.

"Uhh Charles...How's the bath?"

He gave his praise for the wonderfully tempratured water.

"Did I mention you are the first non political person to use this."

He gave her a yes. Tomoyo was having the hardest time work her nerve up.


"Charles...." She waded over to him. "Charles, will you marry me?"

"Uhh Charles...How's the bath?"

He gave his praise for the wonderfully tempratured water.

"Did I mention you are the first non political person to use this."

He gave her a yes. Tomoyo was having the hardest time work her nerve up.


"Charles...." She waded over to him. "Charles, will you marry me?"

Charles was amazed to hear those words from his royal friend whom he had known for some time. After thinking for a while, he looked into her eyes and began to speak. He gave her a simple answer: "Yes. Yes I will."

Tomoy was nervouse with the silence, just as she was about to feel crushed, the words yes came from his mouth.

"Ah you will?" She said excitedly. She lept up to him kissing him causing them to fall over with a big splash. Unfortunatley this hit the panic button on her body guards to race in and jump in splitting them apart. "No no! It's okay! It's okay, stop it! I'm fine, I jumped on him."

The male guards were wet and very embarassed. "Oh my god. Your majesty. I am so sorry..." He quickly adverted his gaze. "If there is anything we can do, I-I-I, I'll go give my resignation..."

"Yes me too."

"No don't be silly, you did what you were supposed to do, but please be careful. You are good guards, just go dry up."

"Yes ma'am."

"I'm so sorry, did they hurt you?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yes ma'am."

"I'm so sorry, did they hurt you?" Tomoyo asked.

Charles had been quite amazed to see all that stuff happen, luckily he was not hurt. He looked at his fiancee and gave her a smile before he got out of the tub and began to speak. "They did not hurt me, but I think we should get the wedding plans going." As Tomoyo came out, Charles handed her her clothing. It seemed she did not wear a suit or anything.

"Thank you.." It was true, Tomoyo was fully nude. Again just a thing of Kuronans, and hot water.

"We should get started. I would like to be married at the Shinto Shrine to the north of the city. I don't know if you ever saw it, but that is where I would like to be."

"Thank you.." It was true, Tomoyo was fully nude. Again just a thing of Kuronans, and hot water.

"We should get started. I would like to be married at the Shinto Shrine to the north of the city. I don't know if you ever saw it, but that is where I would like to be."

"You are welcome. Also, I would not mind marrying at the shrine, I did see it and I thought it looked like a nice place, never thought I would be marrying there." Charles said as he finished getting dressed.

"Wonderful!" Tomoyo said.

"We should get some sleep, tomorrow we can contiune."

"Wonderful!" Tomoyo said.

"We should get some sleep, tomorrow we can contiune."

Though Charles did not want to sleep at the moment, he agreed they should. He spent most of the time not sleeping anyway, he was too busy thinking about the wedding and how he never expected he would be marrying a Kuronan woman....let alone the reigning monarch!

It was soon time for them to get out of bed and they found themselves talking about the wedding.....

Tomoyo gave morning Shino prayers for good fortune and wisdom to guide them through the day.

"Okay, there are a few people I would like to invite...Prime Minister Conroy, Prime Minister Romney, Queen Akoowa, Princess Akoowa. A few of my cousins I'm sure would come. Now I bet you have family and freinds you would like to invite."

"I have people I'd like to invite, they'll be surprised to hear me marrying you....a monarch." Charles said to his fiancee. He was still surprised about all this, he never expected he'd be marrying a monarch of some nation. "Anything else you'd like to discuss? Also, I guess by us marrying...that makes me the King of Kurona or something like that?"

"Marrying me, will make an honary Prince. Tradition so dictates. I would be proud for you to rule along side me." She kissed him.

"Not all my family is in Government or Monarch. Most of my cousins farm. Oh the young lady who was the first from your nation to attend school, she should attend as well. She's a citizen of this country now." Tomoyo said proudly. "And the girl who went to your country, her family can come."

Charles was a bit amazed but not surprised to hear he would be a monarch alongside Tomoyo. "Those two girls will be guests at our wedding? That is alright with me, besides, I am sure a lot of people will attend this wedding, after all it is their monarch getting married."

"Yes, in Kurona, when a Prince or Princess get's married, first there is a private wedding cerimoney, unless asked otherwise. Close family and freinds. Then there is a giant parade of us through the city, then we are left to be on our own. My parent's took to sea on a small boat for a long while. There are just so many things one can do for a honeymoon."

There are just so many things one can do for a honeymoon."

Charles listened to everything that Tomoyo had to say about the wedding. He had no problems with any of that, all he was concerned about mostly was that the wedding would go problem free. As for the honeymoon, he was sure they’d plan something very romantic…something pleasing to both of them. “That all sounds good to me. Anything else we need to discuss? Also, when will this wedding be?”

"Why don't you chose a date? Whenever is okay with you, I'm okay with."

"Why don't you chose a date? Whenever is okay with you, I'm okay with."

"A couple of days from now perhaps or a week or two?"

"A week sounds great. Oh this is so exiciting!"

"A week sounds great. Oh this is so exiciting!"

"It is exciting, but unexpected. Who would have thought I'd be marrying a monarch!" Charles said.

"Well I never thought I'd marry a civilan. Muchless one from another country. In all of Kurona's time of isolation, this is a landmark change for us."

"Well I never thought I'd marry a civilan. Muchless one from another country. In all of Kurona's time of isolation, this is a landmark change for us."

(Mind if we skip ahead to the wedding?)

(I'm a little nervous about that just because I want Stevid to come and post but I'm willing to)

At last the day had arrived. Tomoyo was dressed up in a white gown. She stood looking in the mirrior. "I'm so nervouse."

"You'll be fine your grace. This is a big leap for you. Marrying the man you love."

"I know. And a citizen. Of another country. He'll become my co-ruler. I'm a little scared. I wish my mother was here."

"Did you say a prayer?"

"I did. I've been at the Shrines all day long."

"Well it's now or never."

"Yes."

Tomoyo marched out, down the isle to her Husband. She took his hands and smiled at him as he lifted her veil.

(Should we continue from this post or wait? Also, why do you want Stevid to join in?)

(They are one of my best allies. But let's go ahead and contiune with the crimoney, and hopefully they will get in on the after party)

The minister went through all the things necessary for this marriage to be binding and true. Both Tomoyo and Charles gave their vows and oaths to each other in front of the many people present...and perhaps those watching this wedding on television if it was televised. It took quite a while for the wedding to be finished but for the newlyweds it was worth it entirely as they sealed the wedding with a kiss and as they went to where the after party was being held, everyone cheered and celebrated this occassion, this marvelous marriage.

Tomoyo's lips locked his and they gave the longest most pationate kiss they have ever had.

The private After party began, guest began to dance and eat and have fun. Still no alcholic bevarges were served (with Kurona's outlaw on it).

EARLIER:

"Oh look at this, Tomoyo is getting married."

"She is?"

the whole cabinate grew excited. "Sorry, only one other guest. Karou?"

"Ceritanly, Elenore."


NOW:

Elenore had invited her mother and sister to attend. They had come to know Tomoyo as well and were happy to be there. Karou was also excited, as a foreing minister.

"Tomoyo, congratulations. And congratulations to you sir, you couldn't have picked a better girl than her."

"Elenore, thanks so much for comming! Thanks, Charles is a wonderful person, he'll be a wonderful husband."

There was fashionably late and then there was stupidly late, David and Michaela Conroy were most definitely stupidly late. A terrorist alert had caused havoc at the airport and with the Prime Minister ready to take off no one knew what was going on but the PM’s safety had to be assured. Take-off was delayed for hours and thus he and his wife missed the wedding ceremony by a wide margin, however the party afterwards would be easily attended too despite the delay and it wasn’t long after the private had landed that the couple were whisked off in a saloon car towards a grand stately home where the party was being thrown.

“This is a really nice change.” Said Conroy to his wife while staring out the window out into Kurona. “Three wars plus this new one starting to get out of control and devolve into chaos and here I am on my way to a wedding.”

“I love weddings.” Said Michaela with a soft and sensual tone, obviously remembering her own. “It’s a shame we missed the ceremony because I would have liked to attend to that. But still, our safety had to be assured.”

She sounded sarcastic in her last sentence and it didn’t take a nuclear physician to see that she was really disappointed about not being able to attend the service. David took her hand smiled, something that always seemed to comfort her whenever she was down.

“Tomoyo is a woman of many words and today is a day that will live with her for the rest of her life, I bet she can’t wait to tell people who weren’t there about the ceremony. She’ll tell you everything you want to know. I’m here for two reasons really, this wedding and those blasted peace talks over this quite absurd Bloody Sunday War, I’m glad the population don’t really care at this stage… sorry. We’re not here for politics. Let’s just enjoy the party when we get there.”

Less than an hour later the car had pulled up to the building and Conroy saw a sight that he had learned to take calmly now, the flag of Kanami at the front of a car. The sight of such a flag filled him with dread only several months ago- now there was pride that two nations had found away around their obvious differences. He gave a half crooked smile, took his wife’s hand and walked into the building.

It took several minutes to make out Tomoyo amongst the crowd plus the fact that security insisted on identification before they proceeded. Several minutes later he saw Tomoyo and her new husband, a dashing man- from Latin Byzantines he believed, talking to none other than Eleanor Romany from the Republic of Kanami. Michaela sensed he was nervous and tightened her grip on his hand and guided him forward somewhat towards the couple, he regain some confidence and strode with and stopped a short distance from Tomoyo. She didn’t notice him at first but caught a glimpse in her eye and turn seconds later to be greeted by David and Michaela each wearing huge smiles on their faces.

“Congratulations milady.” Said David and both he and his wife bowed to both the Princess and this new chap she had married. “Terribly sorry we missed the ceremony, terrorist security at the airport held us up for several hours. I was not amused but none more so than my wife Michaela here whom you have not had the pleasure to meet yet.”

“Congratulations on your wedding milady.” Michaela said realising her cue had come.

“Michaela is quite passionate about weddings and so was sorely hurt when we missed yours. I assured her that you like to talk and that you would be more than willing to tell her about it, if that is alright with you ma’am? It is your wedding day- we’re all at your service today.”

Charles gave Elenore a handshake and smiled at her. "It is an honor to meet you." He talked to Elenore for a while about how he did not expect himself to be here, to be married to the monarch of Kurona, who he then complimented as being very pretty and charming. He then noticed Michela and David Conroy who he greeted casually and politely. "It is nice to meet you both." Charles said to introduce himself, knowing they already knew Tomoyo. Soon, other people caught Charles' eye.

A man dressed in a tuxedo with a beautiful young woman at his arm stepped into the room, flanked by some younger people. Those people were none other than Charles' family. "Charles!" the woman said, embracing her son as any mother would. "You must be Tomoyo. It is an honor to meet you." she said to Charles' new wife, bowing respectfully before the others did so too.

"Tomoyo, this is my family." Charles said to her as his family began to talk with the others. Charles' father studied Tomoyo and commented that Tomoyo was a lovely young woman. Charles' mother, who got a lot of looks for her own good looks, being a model and all, talked to Elenore and asked questions about how it was like to run Kanami.

Tomoyo soon found herself surrounded by three young people. The first was a young woman of around her own age and quite tall too. Her auburn hair tied up at the end and wearing a beautifully exquisite dress, she bowed to Tomoyo and then made way for a younger girl, about fourteen, who was similar in looks and wore a Victorian style dress and finally, a girl of thirteen (it happened to be her birthday today) came up to Tomoyo and the three girls, all Charles' siblings, told their new family member their names: Juliet, Violet, Amelia.

The party seemed to be going well and everyone enjoyed themselves. Charles went to talk to Tomoyo, he was curious about how they would live together. "Tomoyo, may I ask about my responsibilities, etc as a Kuronan monarch? What is the coronation like?"

(Kurona, I can edit this if Tomoyo wants to talk to Elenore or Michela/David)

Tomoyo was shown to her new family. Tomoyo's memories of her own parents were faded but Charles' mother beard resemblance to Tomoyo's own mother in some fassion.

"It's wonderful to meet you all. I'm very glad to be apart of your family, your son, he's wonderful. And I guess this will make us sisters now. I've never had any siblings before."

David Conroy was announced as he entered. "Will you excuse me please?" Tomoyo took a bow.

"Mr. Conroy," Tomoyo said with a bow. "I'm so happy you could attend. I was a little worried."

“Terribly sorry we missed the ceremony, terrorist security at the airport held us up for several hours. I was not amused but none more so than my wife Michaela here whom you have not had the pleasure to meet yet.”

“Congratulations on your wedding milady.” Michaela said realising her cue had come.

“Michaela is quite passionate about weddings and so was sorely hurt when we missed yours. I assured her that you like to talk and that you would be more than willing to tell her about it, if that is alright with you ma’am? It is your wedding day- we’re all at your service today.”

"Oh I understand, it's quite all right, I'm more than happy to fill in the details. Oh here he is, Charles, this is Prime Minister Conroy, my freind. Mr. Conroy, my new husband Charles. Please why don't you two, get some food, have a dance and I'll fill you in later. I would like to talk with Charles for a bit."

"Tomoyo, may I ask about my responsibilities, etc as a Kuronan monarch? What is the coronation like?"

"Well I don't want to overwhelm you right away. Your duties will be mainly to assit me, and should anything happen to me, you would take over as Prince in my place. Your coronation will be when we return from our honey moon."

Later on They sat down. David chatted with Charles while Tomoyo chatted with Elenore and Michela.

"Oh the cerimoney was wonderful Madam Conroy." Tomoyo was polietly urged to call her by her name. "If you insist madam. People lined up along the isles, each of us taking the owth of marriage. I also had a few Shinto presists here to give it my native touch."

"Her Majesty, Subaru Akoowa of Aqua Anu."

Subaru entred. "Thank you."

"Tomoyo-chan." Subaru gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry I'm late, the weather was awful at sea. Six storms in a week. And Xanadou, wow, they aren't kidding. You must be Charles, I'm Subaru Akoowa, I'm Princess of Aqua Anu."
