I am Hers, She is Mine

Tamsyn listened to Briar and Artorias as they said their vows, her chest swelling with happiness and pride for her son. Sure, every parent hopes that their children will go on to do great things and make an impact on the world, but at the end of the day all she really wanted was for them to be happy, healthy, and loved. In this moment she knew that all of those things were true both for Artorias and for Briar. She hadn't spent much time individually with the tawny woman that she had first met as a pup that her father affectionately called "Zeelet", but the Fatalis woman had spent plenty of time around the castle growing up and she had seen Briar grow up as much as any of her own children. She was thrilled for them both and she felt confident that no matter what happened to her or Briar's parents the two of them were going to be okay as they continued on through their lives together.

As they both finished she sat up tall again so that she could speak loud enough for the gathered crowd to hear. "Artorias... Do you take Briar as your wife, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both may live?" She paused for Artorias to respond with his 'I do', giving him a grin before she turned her gaze to her new daughter in law. "Briar... Do you take Artorias as your husband, to love and to cherish, for as long as you both may live?" After Briar had also said her 'I do', she added, "Then I pronounce you both husband and wife. You may kiss your bride!" Tamsyn smiled from ear to ear, standing and turning her mint gaze out toward the crowd. "Everyone! Please join me in celebrating Artorias and Briar Carpathius!" She started up a cheer for everyone else to join in with, congratulating the happy couple.
