The park alongside the eastern bank of Liberation Lake is closed to the general public today. The sun still shines high in the sky, sparkling along the water as hawkbats forayed out of their dwellings in the undercity to try and catch the couree eels weaving their way in and out of the waves. In the not too far distance, the stone and ( Read more... )

Darklighter's pulled out. Wes wonders vaguely if it's nasty to blame the kid's son for being really sick, as he stands there facing the crowd.

Someone's given him a script of sorts, that's very nice and official, and he supposes he's not supposed to waver from it.

Must be why it gets tucked in his jacket pocket after skimming the salient points.

Jag is standing in front of the benches at the end of the aisle. He is nervous, but doing a good job of hiding it.

He adjusts the sleeve of his impeccible white uniform over his cast, waiting patiently for the ceremony to begin.

Holy Force, he's getting married. Breathe, Jag. Breaaaathe.

An Alderaanian wedding hymn begins to play, softly at first but reaching a quick crescendo as the guests are ushured to their seats.

Zekk stands in the back of the benches by the aisle, looking nervously out at the crowd in front of him. The joys of being a groomsman. He takes a breath, trying to calm both himself and Jaina, and waits for Tahiri to join him to walk down the aisle.

Re: Ceremony shaped_jeedai January 28 2006, 22:15:51 UTC

Tahiri walks up to join him, linking her arm through his. "Okay, ventcrawler," she whispers, "let's try not to kriff this up."

They march down the asile slowly in time to the music, and take their places to either side of the altar at the front.

Samantha takes a deep breath, and eyes Shawnkyr, who is standing next to her, in a Chiss uniform, looking very Chissly.

Samantha presses her fingers to her mouth, trying not to giggle, as her conversation with Jaina last night returns blurrily to her mind. "Ready?"

"I am always ready." Shawnkyr answers stonily.

Sam rolls her eyes and together, they march down the aisle, in time, and take their places. Sam, still desperately trying not to laugh.

Jaina bites down hard on her lip, staring at everyone at the ceremony - friends, family, HoloNet crew, even Anakin. Someone she'd never thought would see this day.

To say she's frightened is more than an understatement. No matter how hard she tries or whatever she does, she can't shake the worried feeling. It's harder than facing Zekk with a lightsaber, or a pack of voxyn, or Onimi on Yuuzhan Vong Coruscant. Probably the only thing harder than this is when she had to face Jagged as her enemy a month ago.

But somehow, they got through that. And somehow, she'd get through this.

Jaina takes a deep, calming breath, allowing the Force flow through her as she lets her shields drop slightly, relying on the the strength from some of the other Jedi present, especially Zekk and Jacen.

She plasters a confident smile on her face, she locks her eyes on her target - Jag's green eyes - and begins to walk down the aisle, not breaking her gaze until she stands next to him.

Re: Ceremony col_cardboard January 28 2006, 22:52:08 UTC

Jag allows himself a smile as he watches Jaina walk down the asile. She looks beautiful.

Then she is beside him and they turn to face Janson (why is he the one marrying them, again?) together.

Re: Ceremony i_love_kettch January 28 2006, 23:01:37 UTC

Wes flashes them both a reassuring grin (he thinks), then looks out at the gathered crowd. Everyone's here, sitting, waiting.

Time to jam.

Clearing his throat, he begins, "Friends, family, all you old enemies--" The emphasis is on 'old' here as he half-grins at Baron Fel. "--most of us are here today to celebrate the marriage of Jedi Jaina Solo and Commander Jagged Fel." He hesitates briefly before adding, "Some of us are just here for the free food and I should warn you not to take anything from Captain Solo or General Antilles."

He'll deal with snark later.

"If any being has any reason why these two shouldn't be joined, well ... speak now."

He will shoot them.

Re: Ceremony protocol_droid January 28 2006, 23:09:18 UTC

Quiet beeping can be heard from the corner.

"Artoo, I do believe that your assertions of assistance on this matter are entirely irrelevant. You do not have the capacity..."

beepabeeeeeeeeeep.

"I do believe Master Janson has this entirely under control...." Beeeepa! "Yes, even though he sounds like he's making fun of things. Now just... swtch off."

Beep.

Re: Ceremony jedipilot January 28 2006, 23:15:05 UTC

Jaina chuckles softly, turning her head momentarily to smile at Artoo and Threepio. She then slowly scans the rest of the crowd - eyes lingering for on her parents and brothers for a few extra seconds - and fights back any feeling of doubts.

But no one seems to be ojecting. Everyone's quiet.

Re: Ceremony col_cardboard January 28 2006, 23:20:16 UTC

Jag had been keeping an eye on the Chiss contingent, but they were also peaceful.

If unhappy.

The corner of his mouth lifts in another quick smile at Jaina.

Re: Ceremony i_love_kettch January 28 2006, 23:33:46 UTC

So far so good.

With an approving smile at the crowd (including the droids at the back), Wes nods, then turns to Jaina.

"So, Jaina," he begins, running over the script thing in his head. Best to stick to it here, he supposes. "Do you, uh, freely bind yourself to Fe-- Jag here, to be his partner, companion, aide and comfort for the rest of your life?"

He's pretty sure that's right.

Re: Ceremony jedipilot January 28 2006, 23:37:56 UTC

Looking up into Jag's eyes again and smiling ever so much, Jaina gives a small nod. "I do."

Re: Ceremony i_love_kettch January 28 2006, 23:45:31 UTC

"Great!" he says, then looks a bit rueful.

"And Jag," he continues, a bit more cheerfully than is appropriate, perhaps, "you promise to ... forsake all others, to be Jaina's comfort and, er, confidant, lover, friend, and companion 'til the day you die?"

Re: Ceremony col_cardboard January 29 2006, 00:07:30 UTC

Jag doesn't tear his gaze from Jaina for a single moment. It's rather like the single-minded determination he gets when he flies-- this is his target, and he will stick with it.

"I promise."

Re: Ceremony jedipilot January 29 2006, 00:23:38 UTC

Jaina's smile brightens as the fear starts to fade away. She lets her eyes close for a moment, reaching out with the Force to brush Jag's presence with love. Her brown eyes flutter open, studying his face and blinking back tears.

Right now, she's never felt so sure of anything.

“Dad once mentioned that Mom was his beacon star; some sort of bright and guiding flame that kept him on course. I don’t think I fully understood what he met until you walked in to our life, Jag," she says softly and pushes a strand of hair from her face. "You helped me through some of the hardest times I’ve ever experienced and made us want to live. You keep us grounded and safe and happy."

Jaina takes a deep breath and continues, "And despite everything we’ve done to you - the rudeness when we first met, pushing you away after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, trying to kill you merely a few weeks ago - you’ve always been there. You’ve never let me stand alone if you could help it. And I’ve never stopped loving you, even when we - I - wanted to ( ... )
