Wedding at Bellisseria

By Gemma Cleanslate

Bellisseria had its first wedding . It was quite an event. The festivities started at 11 am slt with music for those gathering early. By the start of the ceremony  at 12 at the lovely venue arranged for it there were 65 at the fairgrounds site.

The decor was lovely and arranged so well for such a special day.

The groom is Red Daidig. “True love is not measured in hugs and kisses, but in struggles and fears, and those who can work though those...they possess true love". , he says of his lovely Second Life wife, Ravyen Daidig (Ravyen Woodward). She says of him, ”What can I say."  

But from the Fire, 

Is  born anew. 

A creature beloved,

To stand by you.

They did not say that today but some years ago.  A storybook meeting on the day he decided to leave Second Life if nothing inspired him. However a newbie arrived needing help and so he did. And so it began. A relationship that lasted not only in Second Life, but they married in real life in August 2015. They wanted to be married here in Second Life for a while and finally it has come true for them. They are among their SL friends here and wanted them to be part of their happiness in witnessing their vows.

 Patch Linden officiated at the wedding, telling us their story and reading their vows.

“Do you Red , vow on this day to love and support Ravyen, to grow , to have and  to hold through trials and tribulations, together, forever?”

“Do you Ravyen, vow on this day to love and support Ravyen, to grow, to have and  to hold through trials and tribulations, together, forever?”

The answer was yes from both, of course, and Patch then told them  to seal it with a kiss and they did.
It was a short and sweet and lovely ceremony.

On to the Party! The party went on  for several hours after the ceremony was over.

Patch and Squeaky Mole danced and danced with us all and had a great time!

I am just afraid that Patch will now have to take the second job of officiating all bellisseria weddings. Look out Linden Lab.
