Charlee and I are now officially a couple here in Second Life.

Maybe it was the people who were already calling us "Mister and Mrs. Shuftan." In any event, Charlee and I decided to go ahead with our wedding. Originally it was going to be one with a number of people attending. But later on after some talk, we decided to "elope" and have a private ceremony.

 

The reception went on as scheduled, on Wednesday June 14 at the Happy Vixen at 7PM SL time. The reason for that particular time was so the lady who officiated the wedding could be there. There were a few people who didn't make it due to real life or tired from the recent Relay season. Still it was very much a fun party enjoyed by all, especially by Charlee and I.

For those who have given us their well wishes, thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts.

A Fantasy Faire Proposal

 

 

The Fantasy Faire was certainly a magical moment with many stories. And as it was ending came one on a personal note. Charlee Amethyst and I have been dating, and well, things just clicked. Maybe it was because the scenery looked perfect, maybe it was the timing of the event, the final day the sims would be up. But it was then that I asked her to be my SL wife and partner.

We haven't set a date yet for the wedding. But we will.

Maybe that's why we all like the Fantasy Faire so much. Magic just seems to happen. And for my love and I, the magic brought us closer together.

 On Thursday February 16, Chuul.King (ChuulKing Resident) and Sophitia.Queen (SophitiaEqui Resident) exchanged vows at a virtual wedding. While the Newser has covered weddings before, it's uncommon that the groom is a human and the bride is a furry.

 

Before the event, the groomsmen and bridesmaids were in separate rooms, but still able to talk to one another through extended chat. At one point, one of the girls showed the others a picture of the five of them she had taken, then "Oops, Chuul don't open that! (I) forgot the guys would see it too," her thinking of the tradition of the groom not seeing the bride on the day of the wedding before the ceremony. There were jokes about having Sophita casting kobol magic to make him forget the image. But Chuul responded, "No magic could make me forget you, Love."

The ceremony was conducted by Lance Horsley, "We are here today as the result of the love that Sophi and Chuul have found with each other and this ceremony is the joining together of their two hearts and souls in marriage. ,,, Is there anyone present here that knows of any reason why  Sophi and Chuul may not be joined together in marriage? No? Excellent. Then we will proceed ..."

Lance Horsley: Sophi do you take Chuul to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?
 

SophitiaEqui Resident: I do.
 

Lance Horsley: And Chuul do you take Sophi to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?
 

Chuul.King (ChuulKing Resident): I do.

The pair then exchanged rings.

Lance Horsley: Before these witnesses, you have pledged your love and to be joined in marriage. You have now sealed this pledge with your wedding rings. By the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. ... Congratulations to you both. Chuul you may now kiss your bride! Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to present to you Mr King and Mrs Queen."

Following the ceremony was the reception, with dancing and dinner. And of course the throwing of the boquet, which was caught by Luna Sakurano (LunaSakurano Resident).

Chuul and Sophita can occasionally be found at Club Cutlass and the Happy Vixen. While Sophita has several avatars, she's best known for her kobold.

The wedding took place at the Maven Estates, and was well-attended. 

Some of Shiny's dracomic friends were there, two taking the groom then bride to the altar. 

Afterwards, they headed to the after-wedding party, which was at the Happy Vixen. DJ Khyra (aka the Dazzlecat DJ) and hostess Ana played the tunes to an audience of about forty humans, furs, dragons, and tinies. 

Congratulations Shiny and Lily, and may your Second Lives be happy together,

More on the Wedding in Bellisseria

 

I recently wrote about the lovely wedding of Riot and Kalia. Here is the gorgeous video I promised to let you know about showing the region and the wedding.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46spRfTiJDY   

I returned now that the newly decorated Eyrie fantasy community center is in place. It is charming and will be a good place to hang out for the fantasy home residents especially but for anyone else looking for a place to rest and visit with friends.

Magic Mole has created a statue of Patch Linden to greet all visitors standing at the top of the stairs .

There is a charming Luna Moth ride installed to take a look around the region. Go visit.

Wedding in Bellisseria

 

Weddings are definately an occasion to remember. Some are bigger than others. And last Saturday, there was quite a large one in Bellisseria. The couple were Riot Hax and Kalia Cherry Anatine-Hax (Kalia Anatine), whom were marrying in both real life and Second Life after a long courtship. Word had gotten around, and was attended by so many people, some had to settle for being in the next sim over. Gemma Cleanslate was there, and it was quite an experience.
