i want to take you far from the cynics in this town
Red is not really the best colour for Lianor's complexion, but she does look radiant to-day, in the crimson gown and headdress, with silk flowers woven into her long hair; Eluned is less striking, but then that's the whole point of the double wedding, to keep Eluned and Gadriet in the background. Given the way Lianor is glowing, it's not terribly difficult.
Mr. Shea weeps openly during the ceremony (both daughters married on the same day -- by Shea standards it's a miracle tailored to the clan). Afterward the monk ties their hands together with red ribbons.
Then it's the reception, and Gahereth and Lianor get to sit through all the toasts, of which there are nearly as many as guests, and then wine and food and dancing and incredibly loud music that goes on until nearly midnight before people start to trail off to their rooms. Gahereth is subjected to a fair number of winks and jabs with elbows and particularly unsubtle comments about deflowering his bride by departing guests, but eventually they manage to escape, and Lianor locks the door behind them with a giggle of relief.
"Oh, my Lord."
