Wedding in Bellisseria

 
By Gemma Cleanslate

Saturday, the 6th of November , an event took place that once again merged Second Life and real-life. It was billed as the event of the year and it certainly was. Half of Bellisseria residents and others tried to get to the there  which was impossible. The region filled up as soon as it opened an hour before the ceremony was to take place. I could not get there. 

I moved to a nearby region to try and see the activities and suddenly landed at the foot of the stairs leading to the venue. Magic!

This was the Second Life wedding of the couple, Riot Hax and Kalia Cherry Anatine-Hax (Kalia Anatine). A long romance that began way back in 2007 here and moved to real-life in 2008 is being celebrated finally with an SL wedding. Riot and Kalia met way back then and became friends and then fell  so in love they met in real life and have been together ever since. 

The event was urged on by Patch Linden who was the best man. The site of the wedding is a spectacular site, Community Center for the Fantasy homes.

My laptop could not handle the complexities of the attendees and I saw mostly orange clouds . Fortunately several people sent over some lovely shots of the couple as they announced their vows and after that danced at the reception held in the massive Community Center and environs that  occupy the entire region of Eyrie. Stevie Morane Alexander-Basevi escorted the bride. Dreamer Pixelmaid was the Maid of Honor . Other attendants were Zarah Coronet, Prudence Anton, Cian Wycliffe. 

Halzel Lightworker officiated at the ceremony. Music was provided at the reception by DJ Shamu, Dj Far, and DJ Katie. It was live streamed for those who could not get there in person. At its release I will have a link to it so those who missed it all and those who would like to see will be able to do so.

I went back Sunday to really see the whole region without lag. I understand that the region Eyrie will be rearranged for Community Center  now that this event is over. Watch for its return soon . The Moles, Patch, the organizing group are to be congratulated for all their work . I know they had fun at the event too!
