Two Sides of the Same Coin...



Well... We had our wedding party. It was... quite the day we had. From great, to real bad, then back to great. Weird how it bounced like that.

First, we all joined at a table... Iridith, Rick's niece (Gods, she's adorable!), got a puppy! The look on her face when the puppy was brought to her... Gods, Iridith is so adorable... She'd just told me when she met Rusher that she'd wanted a puppy.

Rusher is my horse; a beautiful Vladimir Heavy Draft... Bree-land horse, yes, but... still.

*This part seems to be scratched out, so much so that it looks like a line of spilled ink* then when we returned to the main room, we all joined at the bar... Dad and Dal, too! Even Bryse!

Dad gave us a couple of gifts, too... I'm... I'm still speechless over the gift Dad gave me... I mean, I've been referring to Dad as such for a little while now, even calling him my adoptive father, but... Dad gave me the papers... He legally adopted me... Gods I... I really didn't see that coming at all.

He gave *a large, thick scratch covers what was once here* a pen and inkwell set, with our name on it... It was... It was very thoughtful, without a doubt... I didn't know that that was what Dad was planning to do; he had me spell out the last name so he could work on 'saying it right'... *The whole line is scratched out, looking as though ink had spilled over it*

It was shortly after that, when things took a down-turn...

I won't go into details about it. It was... it was that bad. All I will tell you is that there were three simultaneous fights... One of which apparently resulted in death, but... *a large, thick scratch covers what was once here* and I had gone outside while we waited for everything to cool down...

*The next few lines are scratched out, as if what was written was better left forgotten*

'The Noble Catcher'... That is still quite a funny title... though, it's one of those true things... I have a noble for an adoptive father... and now I have a noble for my husband...

Well, I should probably go start getting ready for another wedding. Rick and Cedwyn are going to be married VERY soon, and... there's no way I'm going to miss theirs... I'm glad they understand why *a large, thick scratch covers what was once here* and I had a private ceremony, but... There's no way I'm going to miss their wedding.
