They were the love match of the 23rd century, Lady Karissa Ann Howard, oldest child of Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane, Duchess of Norfolk Territory, and Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third, Duke of Wessex Territory.
Born to her mother, on her mother's 20th birthday on May 1, 2295, Lady Elizabeth watched her dearest daughter, Lady Karissa Ann and she even gave her oldest daughter her mother's name and she told her mother why " I am afraid I am going to lose you one day mother."
Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann tells her daughter in 2295, " We are born, We live, We age and We die."
"Surely mother. You won't leave me anytime soon." Lady Elizabeth asks her mother.
"I don't have a crystal ball, Lady Elizabeth." Lady Karissa tells her oldest daughter, " I have a job to complete and see all of my dear children happily married and with their own children."
Lady Karissa Ann Howard met her very handsome second cousin, Lord Frederick William Howard The fourth at her coming out event in 2310, when they were both 15 years old, and despite her maternal grandfather, Lord Andrew Charles displeasure love triumphs over all, and finally in 2313, Lady Karissa Ann is allowed to marry her Prince Charming, Lord Frederick William Howard The Fourth, the grandson of Lord Frederick William Howard The Second, and the great-grandson of Lord Frederick William Howard and the great-great-grandson of Lord Patrick William Howard on the paternal side, but Lady Karissa Ann comes from the both the maternal and paternal side of Lord Patrick William as his first great-great-great-great-granddaughter through his second grandson, Lord Charles Andrew Howard,3rd Duke of Norfolk Territory, and through two of his sons, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior, 4th Duke of Norfolk, and Lord Richard Edward Howard SR and their sons, Lord Andrew Charles Howard, fifth Duke of Norfolk and Lord Richard Edward Howard The Second, Duke of Wessex Territory and their children, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane, 1st Duchess of Norfolk Territory and Lord Richard Edward Howard.
Lady Karissa Ann is Lord Frederick William Howard The Second great-great-niece, through his younger brother, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior, and she is his great-great-granddaughter, and Lord Frederick William Howard The Fourth is Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior, grandnephew, through his son, Lord Frederick Willliam Howard The third who is Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior nephew.
Through Lord Frederick William Howard, they are second cousins to each other, and they are perfectly matched as Lady Karissa Ann' s mother and father were second cousins to each other as well through Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR who is her great-great-grandfather.
Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third is 46 years old when he walks his daughter, Lady Karissa Ann up the aisle in the garden at Beltane Manor to give his precious daughter away to his second cousin twice removed, and with him is Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann all teary eyes, and she starts to cry " I just had her 18 years ago and now I have to let her go."
"How did you it bear mother when I married Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third?" Lady Elizabeth asks her mother.
"My dear Elizabeth. I knew one day you would marry and I had to let you go. It was your father that wanted to keep all of you children." Lady Karissa explains.
"I asked him if he wanted grandchildren. He had to let you all go, and test your wings and marry.' Lady Karissa tells her daughter.
"Of course. I love each of you very dearly." Lady Karissa explains, "All of you have a duty towards your late great-great-great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard and you must keep his legacy going."
"Lord Richard Edward The Third, and you, Lady Samhain, Lord David William Beck, Lord Anthony Christopher and Lady Alexandrina Charlene , Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Kevin Thomas Riley all have happy marriages." Lady Karissa tells her daughter.
"It is too early to tell yet if Lord Benjamin Lawrence and Lady Henrietta Marie Bourbon will have a happy marriage, but Lady Sophia Dorothea and Lord William Frederick appear to have a happy marriage." Lady Karissa states.
"Lord Albert Edward and Lady Elizabeth Ann have a very happy marriage." Lady Karissa tells her daughter.
"I consider myself blessed that most of my eight children are happily married, but Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann has yet to marry Lord Albert Edward Spencer-Churchill." Lady Karissa explains.
"Mother. Surely sis will marry. She is truly special as she shares my birthday." Lady Elizabeth tells her mother.
"Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann will make her own way into this world and she will carry on what her father started in 2276." Lady Karissa tells her daughter.
Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane and Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third watch their eldest daughter, Lady Karissa Ann marry her second cousin, Lord Frederick William, and watch are her aunt, Lady Sophia Dorothea and Lord William Frederick Howard with seven year old Lady Andrea Charlene Howard.
Smiling is Lord Frederick William Howard The third, with Lady Mary Henrietta Howard nee Grey and their 13 year old daughter, Lady Susanne Henrietta.
Lord Frederick William Howard The Third walks over to Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third and they embrace and there is much rejoicing in Valhalla, as Lord Patrick William Howard watches his great-great-great-great-granddaughter and his great-great-grandson.
