Bean and Zureta met at Kross and Silver's wedding. It was not long before the two became a pair and family. They did not, however, have a wedding. That all changed on Sunday, February 9th in the year 2020 at a bit past 10pm. The weyr gathered in the valley, May standing atop Grandma Rock and Bean nervously waiting on the ground just in front of them.
Cena, Kross, Lady, and Seryna gathered to watch on one side while Glay, Anx, and Fox watched from another. The dragons began to hum and Silver and Bubba walked in from behind the group, flattening the sand before the bride. The two went to respectfully touch Grandma Rock with their snouts before they joined Fox and Glay. The dragonkin's humming intensified as the footfalls of Silent and Zureta could be heard.
Dazzling the weyr with beautifully polished, vibrant blue scales, Zureta strode forward slowly with Silent next to her. The two stepped up to the rock and Silent also lightly tapped Grandma Rock with her snout before joining the others.
Bean stared at Zureta, speechless and love struck. May flicked his tail against Grandma Rock and the humms stopped instantly. He connected the weyr's minds to his and began to speak in his booming, magnificent voice.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of two souls. Do you, Bean, take Zureta in fire and flame, in scale and cave, in life and in death?
Bean forced herself free of the spell that Zureta's glittering form had cast on her and looked up mutely. Lady, watching this, suddenly hissed.
Say 'I Do'!
Embarrassed,Bean shifted in place and looked back at Zureta. She was once again lost...
I-I do!
May held back a snicker and began to recite to Zureta.
Do you,Zureta, take Bean in fire and-
Before he could get any further, Zureta excitedly broke in.
I do!!
May paid her no heed and continued.
-flame, in scale and cave, in life and in death-
I do! I do!
May beamed at the dragons gathered in front of him toothily. Lady had a feeling he was planning something and was secretly glad that Pookie was no longer part of the weyr...Now would be the perfect time for a mass murder orchestrated by the mischievous May..
By the power that I have to kill you all....I now pronounce you dragon and dragoness...or whatever.
The two plasmas purred and nuzzled each other affectionately. The rest of the weyr began to roar ecstatically. The new couple leaped into the air together as the plasmas in the audience began to blast plasma shots into the sky like fireworks and the wyverns ignited themselves. After a moment of loud celebrating the weyr, as one, turned toward Bubba.
Bubba,instinctively knowing something bad was going to happened, fled. Zureta and Bean landed and immediately gave chase. The rest of the wedding party followed enthusiastically. They couldn't let the cake get away after all...the new couple was hungry...
