Here on Classic we understand that sometimes life can get difficult and we struggle. We may need to receive advice, vent, know that we are not alone in our difficult times, or even just have someone listen to what's going on in our lives. In light of these times, we have created the support threads below that are open to all of our members at any time.
The marriages between siblings Skeletalrose and Pomegranatedecay and brothers Tempesthaven and Furorstrom are going to be a double wedding! So let's start with the bond thread in the cave that happens the night before which is a private thread! They can discuss their feelings of what happened at the ceremonies the day before, or what will happen when they're married, or even other stuff! HoneystormstardanceNova
****************************************************************************************************************************** With the addition of arranged marriages comes marriage and divorce ceremonies to be performed before the gods. Marriages are done at sunrise and divorces at sunset. Each cat involved in the ceremony, including parents of the cats in question and the Blessed, arrive covered in ceremonial paint created from crushed herbs and flowers as well as all the flowers they’ve earned in their time and their crystal of rank. The Knight of the Stars conducts the ceremony from there paying tribute to the god for the ability of life, kits, marriage, and divorce. It is thanks to our god that we are as strong as we are both in blood and numbers, and that we are able to perform such ceremonies.
Marriage Contract: To be married, you have to complete a few requirements. Be a warrior or older, have the blessing of your parents or Sovereign if you have no parents, and have the blessing of the gods. In cases where one’s parents do not approve of a match, it can be overruled by the Sovereign if they agree it’s a good match. Marriages are sacred and once the ceremony has begun it can not be stopped and can not be divorced for at least a moon. The newlywed couple are encouraged and required to stay awake all day and night in prayer to the gods following the marriage ceremony for a blessed family life and many kits. Cats of the same-sex are permitted to be married and while it is understood they can not have kits of their own, they are encouraged to raise any kits without family. The ceremony is held at sunrise before the whole clan when the God of Light first appears and the party ends at dusk when the Northern Lights appear.
Pomegranatedecay was escorted to the marriage den by her family alongside her sister, her parents were proud to see two of their kits married off to strong toms of a pure bloodline. It was a special affair even if just the day before their sister had been banished for taking a mate outside of the clan. It was because of that foolish sister that their weddings were being done together and not a few days apart. A rushed double wedding to make up for the transgression against them and to hopefully help the clan to remember how loyal and respectable the Sovereign's children were. Foolish Gard-no Sludemilk, she knew better than to cross mother and make us look like fools in front of the clan, she thought as she approached the marriage cavern. One last glance over her shoulder at her parents, a small smile, and she stepped into the small cavern. Inside was a collection of flowers, herbs, paints, and more that they would be expected to use to decorate their soon-to-be mates. Crystals glowed, giving off just enough light to see those also in the den. One last glance from their families and friends and then they were sealed in by a large rock as was the custom.
Tempesthaven had sworn to himself up and down that he would not care whatever marriage he was assigned. It would all be worthless anyway, and he'd go looking for something better anyways. But, that all fell apart when he heard who he was paired to. A goofy smile fell across his face. The Sovereign's daughter? How lucky he was. He practically pranced his way into the den just behind Pomegranatedecay. "So..."
They'd been engaged since they were students, but Pomegranatedecay hadn't had much time to interact with her to-be mate. Really, she'd nearly forgotten about it completely until her wedding was announced to the clan at the ceremonies. All arranged ones between students were announced then so all were aware they were happening and then the dates set later in that moon rotation by the couple and their families. Most chose a date that was in relation to something they cared deeply about. Personally Pomegranatedecay would have liked a night with the crescent moon as she'd always enjoyed the site of it against the northern lights. But her desires no longer mattered thanks to her sister's transgressions.

"Uhhh... so what kind of family are you looking for? I know your mom's is pretty small, but I could go for a big family." He had hoped she would say something first and break the ice, but he decided to bite the bullet this time.

Very briefly, Skeletarose had interacted with her mate-to-be. He was little to her more than a curious experiment in seeing how long it took to break a cat. She glided in as if she were sliding on ice more than walking, her very presence calm and frigid as the frozen territory itself. Though for her part, there was a whisper of a smile that suggested perhaps a touch less than real sanity, a princess with her part to play and nothing more than a pawn from her mother's reputation, it seemed. Not that she minded so much. The better she acted, the looser her bonds, and the more she got to do as she wanted. This marriage was just a step in that. Get married, have kits, duty always had something more, didn't it?
“A loyal one.” Eyebrow raised and a disappointing look on her face with the face saying, did this tom really just ask that? Whatever, as long as he was loyal, she’d make sure that their kits were as well. “I take it you want a few litters then? I can’t say I’ll completely disagree with that. It’ll help WinterClan’s numbers and if they’re as loyal and strong as we are there, then I don’t see any issues with having two or so litters.” she was straight to the point and blunt when needed but other times, well most times, Pomegranatedecay was one to hold her cards close to her heart. Now, was this tom expecting love to form between them? In truth, the she-cat had never thought of finding live, especially not after her mother and father had informed her of her engagement arranged by them to another.
Now they were only waiting for one more to arrive, or be fetched. Whatever the case was, Pomegranatedecay could see her sister was already calculating something behind those blue eyes. Narrowing her own green orbs at the she-cat, she spoke is a hissed whisper, “behave Skeletalrose.” Was it too much to ask? Maybe. The two sisters hadn’t interacted as much as of late, but as the only two of their litter married, Pomegranatedecay planned to change that. Before her time had been taken up by managing their brothers, and attempting to do the same with Sludgemilk. She’d succeeded with the hits, but had failed at reigning in their sister. No matter, she control this situation before her now.
