Welcome friends!
We have gathered here to witness the joining
of #GROOM# to #BRIDE# in this blessed union of matrimony.

Who doth give #BRIDE# to be married to #GROOM#?

@!History

May it be known that the marriage covenant has held a place of honor
in every society...even in the most ancient times of Sosaria.
The sages and the ancient scriptures tell of the subverting
and then shattering of the Gem of Immortality--thus creating the =
Shards...
It is believed that by pursuing the 3 principles that link
the virtues together, and when all people are united in purpose...
that the shards will become one again.

Love [Amo], Truth [Ver] and Courage [Cor]
are the 3 principles of which each Virtue has as a part of their making.
The most important principle for marriage is Love.
There are 4 virtues tied to love:
Spirituality [Om], Justice [Beh], Sacrifice [Cah] and Compassion [Mu].
Spirituality is soul-searching for truth, finding the
courage to face adversity, and finding and giving Love.
Justice is ensuring fairness and truth in life and love.
Compassion is the ability to love and forgive
other people's transgressions towards you.
