I am Hers, She is Mine

Tamsyn watched as the crowd gathered, some faces familiar and some faces new, though she was particularly happy to see Zee again as she came to sit with one of her daughters. It had been far too long since she had seen her old friend and Tamsyn still didn't quite forgive herself for letting her anger at Sirius and all of the turmoil happening at home get in the way of her going to see her. Perhaps when all of this was over she'd get a chance to speak with her. For now though, she focused her attention on her son and his beautiful bride that had just appeared at the end of the aisle with Sirius in tow. She grinned as she watched the pack's more recent addition, a raptor she was told was named Zephyrus, waddled down the aisle dropping flower petals in his wake as Briar and Sirius slowly made their way down the aisle. She waited until Briar joined where she and Artorias were waiting, giving Sirius a small smile before he went to join his family.

Once everyone was settled and Artorias gave him a grin and a nod. She took a breath to steady her own emotions and the flutter of nerves that kicked up in her stomach now that it was her turn to speak. "Good morning, everyone. Thank you all so much for joining us as we celebrate Briar and Artorias and their love for one another. Everyone here has helped these two grow and shape into the wolves they are today and I'm extremely grateful for each one of you, as I know they are as well." She turned her attention back Artorias and Briar, gently placing her paw over theirs where they were holding one another's paws in front of her. "My hope for you both is to never take a single moment of your time together for granted. Love is precious and true love even more rare. Support one another in all things, but especially the hardest things. In the darkest times you will be one another's light and in the good times you can celebrate together knowing that being together will make it all the sweeter." She smiled and pulled her paw away, letting the two of them take center stage so that they could say whatever vows they had prepared for one another.
