ooc: OK if your character isn't here yet and you want them to be we can just assume that they already are unless you want them to be that annoying one that disturbs the ceremony by walking in late xD

Even the worried father couldn't help but smile as Frith arrived carrying a crown of flowers in his mouth for the bride. He was terrified for them of course, but sweet little moments such as the one he had just seen, would certainly soften him a little more to the more joyous emotion that had already consumed his daughter and wife, not to mention of course Frith.
He would remain a silent figure at the front however as others began to gather, amongst them he was surprised to see his grandson, Bass perhaps he figured was simply wanting to keep the two packs updated, how surprised he would be to find out he had walked into what would hopefully be a once in a life time opportunity of his Aunt Novella's wedding. He would greet the boy and watch to see who else would arrive.
At last, the gathering came to a slow and the man, suddenly nervous once more would find himself coming to the realisation that it was time to explain all and begin the ceremony. He would take a deep breath and take a step forwards to address the pack. "Hello everyone, I know its not been that long since the last meeting though we are actually gathered here today for an entirely different reason." The last meeting had also been tainted by sadness, all would hopefully feel joy this time.
"Today we are here to join Novella and Frith in matrimony." He would pause there for a moment to let the news sink in to the pack and with a small motion of his head towards the couple as he awaited them to step forwards so all could clearly see them. "Now the union will likely come as a surprise to many of you, especially given as I'm sure not all of you have actually had the opportunity to meet Frith yet as he is one of the newest members of our pack. Despite that, there really is no denying that before me now stands a happy couple who I can only hope manage to bring each other as much joy as my own wife has brought to me throughout our lives together." Those words were honestly true, he couldn't deny that they seemed happy together, and certainly he hoped neither would bring the other anything but joy.
He moved on asking each in turn the traditional vows, pausing only to hear each say their 'I do'. Then, there was only one thing left to do; "Then I now pronounce you husband and wife." He had stood here in this similar situation only once before for Lyric, the second time he assumed it may have been easier and yet with Novella stood before him now he knew it certainly didn't. A part of him kept hold of that worry, a slight sorrow that the girl was clearly growing up, starting a family of her own and yet a small part of him felt conflicted pride and happiness, it was clear to see that she was overjoyed and the emotion was contagious, and he simply couldn't fight that small smile that formed.
