Characters: Aleph, April Sinclair, and those invited to their wedding.
Setting: Floor 99, the crystal caves
Format: Actionspam
Summary: Aleph and April are getting married. No, they don't care that they're doing it in a horrortower in a Jason month - this is still a celebration.
Warnings: Nothing is likely to come up.

[Two demons guarded the entrance of the crystal caverns: the signs that they were 'dressed up' were the handmade flower crowns that adorned their heads. Upon meeting a guest to the party, one would usher them inside, where a small collection of folding chairs was set out with the requisite aisle in between them.

Other than that, it seemed very simply set up. Aleph and April needed a little time to get ready, so until then, guests would have the opportunity to mingle.]

[technologic]

[April is quick to hold onto his hand, already shaking fainting due to nerves overload as she listens to Shiva. She knew she would have to say vows at some point, and she had taught some to herself before now. She just hoped she would remember them.

Either that, or she could do what Shiva's doing and just come up with something then and there. And pray she doesn't stutter horribly.]

Aleph, do you intend to marry this woman, April?

I do. [Aleph sounds a little choked up, but takes a breath to speak more clearly.] For as long as we both live, I will be by her side. I promise everything of myself to her and no earthly power will tear me away.

[April swallows tightly, forcing herself not to start crying when Shiva asks her:] April, do you intend to marry this man, Aleph?

I-I do. [She clears her throat, both so that she doesn't sound too choked up and so that her stutter will ease.] I-I will join m-my life with his, and I promise to stay by h-his side no matter what. I-I will love him and c-care for him f-for as long as we live.

We who have seen your vows are witness to your union. For good or ill, you will be joined together in a marriage of love and devotion.

[There are no rings, no fires to walk around, and certainly no legal witnesses to it, but the vows are enough.]

I pronounce you now to be husband and wife.

[Aleph doesn't even wait for anything else - he kisses April as soon as the words have left his mouth.]

[technologic]

[April can already feel herself start to tear up as she listens to Shiva, though she doesn't actually cry, due to Aleph kissing her the moment Shiva is done speaking. And April only pauses in surprise for a second, before she happily returns the kiss.]
