Relationship Note on Malcolm
You know what's been the biggest surprise since I arrived in Arx? This guy.
He went from being a really really really distant cousin I barely knew to one of my closest friends and allies.
I don't know what I'd do without him.
Also he showers me with presents. He's so thoughtful!

The rather belated reception that Gwenna and I had at Whisper House is something I'll remember forever, I think. Honestly, I do not regret waiting until summer, not in the slightest. Champion Bliss Whisper and Whisper House did an amazing job of planning the event and bringing in everything that was necessary. I'd encourage anyone planning on a wedding reception or similar party to get their assistance. Everyone is talking about the chocolate and icewine, and while they were wonderful, my favorite part was being there with my wonderful wife, among our family and friends. It seemed like we spent much of the party planning for the future and speculating on what we should do next. Of course, there is the Redrain Grand Library, which is in progress. Beyond that, we're making a list.

Ah, gods.
Waking up in a hay wagon with a head pounding so hard it sounds like a stampede is no longer as fun as it was ten years ago. Wait, no, the head portion was never fun. Drinking is not a good way to handle sadness. Mistakes were made, judging by the emptiness of my purse, but I don't remember any of them.
I think, after finishing this, I'm going to drag myself to a bathhouse, then go home and try to forget THIS side of the day, too.

Not as many people attended the wine extravaganza as I had thought would come. Several who were excited, never showed. It made for a quiet, intimate evening with a handful of people, and allowed me a chance to get to know my future cousin-in-law a tiny bit better, Lady Juliana. Also, Gianna Whisper, the Nightinggale of the Bard's College, deigned to play for us. Her music, as ever, was wonderful and enchanting. I am thankful she made the offer, even if it was the clavichord in our great hall that lured her to make such an offer. There was talk of fashion, jewelry, and whimsical discussion about potential marriage arrangements, started by Lady Olivia and encouraged by Princess Alarissa; of which I had to assure everyone I'm not deigning to arrange any marriages any time soon, as there was somehow a fear I was using this event for such a thing. I was not. We also got to learn of Lord Sebastian's project, of the Titan in Setarco. I am grateful to those guests who could make it, and also to Count Duarte, who entertained my cousin, Lady Videl, with a dance before the evening was done. Of course, then he claimed a dance with me as well. Lord Theron greatly enjoyed the wine, and I was glad to see that Lucita allowed herself time to attend the event, getting a few rare moments away from her house and children to do so. All in all, it was a grand time.
However, now I'm left more with wine than I know what to do with. I had planned for more guests, and we have over 2/3 stock left of our Zephyr's of Spring white wine, peach wine, and black cherry and black currant wine. I'll need to figure out how to repurpose it all somehow somehow. Maybe gifts, perhaps. Though I'm not certain I know quite that many people to gift it out. I do hope that those who took the bottles truly enjoy them.
I must try harder, next time, to lure people to wine events. Or, maybe rethink having them at all in the future. There is much to think about in regards to this.

Gwenna and Lorenzo's wedding reception was held in the Arcadia at Whisper House and it was the most glorious thing ever. I must say that Bliss outdid herself on the decorating as it was like a waking dream. I thought the fact there was icewine was enough but then gods and spirits Nightingale Gianna managed to get this strange looking fountain working. It took me a split-second to realize it was of all things a /chocolate fountain/. Yes, a fountain of melted delicious chocolate! I had heard of such a thing but I thought it was merely a jest. It is real and it is amazing and it is at Whisper House. I would have eaten my weight in melted chocolate if I had stayed any longer but somehow I managed to tear myself away.
Beyond the chocolate and icewine, it was simply wonderful to spend time with my family and friends and celebrate a union of the North and the South. It was all told a magical night spent with my favorite people for the best of reasons.

To say that the reception as hosted by Champion Bliss at the Whisper House's Arcadia was exquisite would to be doing the event so very, very little justice. It was both extravagant and humbling; a reminder of how precious this life is, of the beauty and value of love, joy, and even duty. That to stop living because of the shadows that worry us is to have already let the enemies win. That the tempest blizzards of the northlands can marry the hurricane summers of the southlands and work together in harmony.
On a lighter note, the chocolate fountain is a wonder that, I think, trumped even the icewine.

Cousin,
Had I but known you wanted me to shout at you all this while, you certainly would have shouted at. I will strive to fill the large shoes (really, they're quite big for one so short) of my youngest sister in this endeavor, if it makes you happier.

As for the Prince and Princess, they look truly happy and I do wish them all the best!
