Welcome everyone. We've got another new story, going into the subjects of Evabon weddings just as the previous went into the subject of Evabon funerals. Enjoy and review.
The Espousal Frock
Brigid stared at her cousin Henti's espousal frock. A thing of white and gold while a crown of pink and white feathers would be worn upon her head. It was simple and beautiful all at the same time. Beauty and simplicity was something that Evabon often went for when designing things it was their tradition as artists, their tradition as warriors was much less simple.
Henti would marry Bethad. She would wear that dress. But what would Bethad be wearing? He'd be wearing what he usually did. It was tradition that the bride wore an espousal frock while the groom wore what he usually wore.
Removing her veil, Brigid place the crown of flowers upon her head with excitement and looked into a glass with an adrenalized expression on her face.
Henti merely watched with an amused expression. It was very much something that a young girl should have done, it was important that Brigid be able to act her age.
Brigid herself would be a bridesmaid this day. Dressed in a frock of pink, purple and white with yellow flowers adorning the waist and a purple headband upon her head. This would be one of the times she would have to forgo the veil that she had sworn to wear either until the day she died or until Kernunnos once more entered their lives.
"It is a beautiful thing, isn't it?" asked Henti.
"Uh huh." Was all Brigid had given as a reply. One day she would wear such a crown of flowers, one day she would wear such a frock. She was arranged to be married to Balor and on that day she would wear a frock of white and gold and a crown of pink and white flowers.
"I'm happy that I shall be wearing it when I marry Bethad. Of all the suitors, he was the only one who genuinely liked me for me and not of my beauty."
"And he was the one with the most patience!" added Brigid.
Giggling, Henti nodded. "Yes, patience is an admirable virtue in a suitor."
"As is bravery." Added Brigid, thinking of the times Balor had shown such bravery.
"And being calm."
