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 marriage between two cats, whether between an arranged or chosen pair, is a public affair held at sunrise before the whole of the clan and the Gods.
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 draped around their necks. The Knight of the Stars conducts the ceremony from there paying tribute to the gods for the ability of life, kits, marriage, and divorce. It is thanks to our gods that we are as strong as we are both in blood and numbers, and that we are able to perform such ceremonies.
Marriage Ceremony Words to be spoken by the active parties: I vow, before the Gods of Life and Death, to value and protect my partner before me. May our kits be strong and our spirits stronger in union.
Family and Blessed are tagged but all are welcome to reply PhantomneverstarstarConsuelacircleFaithSpotMorteAutumnal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polarblast had spent the previous night with his intended. Locked away in a den to dress each other for this big moment. He knew that his mate-to-be wore yellow paint under her eyes, dotted to help emphases them, lavender woven into a crown upon her head, and ivy wound around her tail. The items were colorful against the snowy white of their world. A fresh layer had fallen the previous night, coating the land and was still softly snowing as the ceremony started up. Around him was his family, clanmates, and Blessed. All were gathered at this early hour for this joyous occasion. So why didn't he feel joyous about his chosen mate?
Toxicbird sat with her family as they waited for her brothers wedding to start, she had an emotionless stare but inside she was groaning. She didnt understand why she had to be here, Polarblast was a disgrace and marrying this she-cat wouldnt change that, at least not in her mind.
Rosettelatte was also in attendance, her fluffy white pelt melting into the snow around her, pale eyes lingering on the groom before dropping to the ground. She should be happy for him, this would hopefully put him back in his mothers good Grace's, but then why did she feel nuasues when she thought of him being with someone else. She had grown close to Polarblast since his disowning and the two had even become friends, she had learned he wasnt the jerk everyone saw him as, he had a whole other side to him that had been overpowered by his need to be loyal to his mother.

Jaguarblood looked out at the crowd gathered. Her only family still living was her great uncle, Bedlbeast, who sat within the crowd. The hulking calico maine coon tom smiled at her and winked. She smiled back briefly but she couldn't help but feel a strange overwhelming sadness. Why did this feel so...forced? So unnatural? She glanced at Polarblast and took a deep breath in. This was to be her husband. Was that what she wanted? Or is that what the clan wanted? She couldn't really tell at this point.
Snowbunny licked the last tuft of fur back into place, but inside he felt utterly disgraced. He had been locked up in solitude up until now, only let out when he was needed. That was what he got for being a traitor to the sovereign. He breathed in a few times until he stood up full, his tail high as he walked out into the ceremony. Although his confidence was there it was easy to tell the knight of the stars was looking thin. Standing near him was Frostcloud, his mate, but ironically also his warden, deliberately there to keep an eye on him while he commenced the ceremonies.
He stood in the middle between Polarblast and Jaguarblood. In size Snowbunny was on the taller side, white with long sheepdog bangs over his eyes that made it impossible to gauge his emotions. "Today we're gathered beneath the night sky so that our God of life, symbolized by the aurora and our Goddess of Death, symbolized by the moon can witness destined love be united in holy matrimony. If there is anyone who objects, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Snowbunny lowered his head, waiting to see if there were any signs from divine intervention.

Jaguarblood held her breath as she glanced out at the gathered cats again and out to the back of the camp where a friend hopefully watched. She had asked if he would watch from afar. She had felt a close bond with him since she brought him to the camp that day. Back when she was Jaguarpaw. But she was supposed to be ready now to be Jaguarblood. The be the faithful mate to Polarblast. She felt a chill run down her spine and she suppressed the urge to shudder, gritting her teeth.
Bones watched from far away, not a part of this ceremony. He had found some slushy mud from the snow that had fallen and coated himself in it. The black was a sign of mourning. He was losing the she-cat that he had come to this godforsaken place for Jaguarblood and yet here she was in front of him, marrying another cat. It was rough and he wanted to leave. But she had asked him to watch, so he would stay. For her it didn't matter. He'd do anything. So Bones sat, covered in mud, a neutral expression schooled on his face. His sharp orange eyes stared at her from the crowd, ready in case hers met his. He would encourage her and protect her from afar. That was his place now.
Whoa, was that a cat made of mud? What an amazing world he lived in. Plus that was a sign if he ever saw one.
"The divine have spoken, your relationship will often feel unclear to you, you may not always understand the other, that is your obstacle to overcome, but I promise you that no relationship is without a few challenges."
Taking in a breath he continued, "I will say these vow and if you both agree you will each exchange a kiss on one another's cheeks. Promise to be there for another in danger and in safety. To remain loyal and devoted to one another, but hold accountability and honesty when there is deceit. To show compassion and mercy to the other even when there is rage. To show your love to one another through happiness, family, and sacrifice. And for your love to always remain obedient to our religion. If that is all true you may now kiss," Snowbunny said with a dip of his head.
Polarblast was shocked, startled out of thought upon hearing the Knight's words about the message from the Divine. His eyes searched the crowd, anxious to know what it had been that showed such a sign for their marriage on the day of their wedding. To this day, no other couple had been given any signs by the divine regarding their future, nothing from the Gods at all. They had been blessed with happiness by the Gods. But he..he would be cursed from the very beginning. Was it because of his mix blooded kits? We're they displeased with his taking of a lover for a short period for the purpose of kits to strength their numbers? How was he to know?!? The tom had asked Jaguarblood just after she'd been promoted, in front of all the clan, in front of his mother, to be his chosen mate. She'd said yes, and he'd been happy, relieved in that moment to hear it. But now the Divine were speaking a warning against their union. Was it because of someone else? Had that been why his heart hadn't been in it when he'd asked her? Why he'd been more relieved that happy and excited for his future? Or was it because they knew of someone else that would be more fitting? It had his impression that they would be pleased with his choice, just as mother had bene when he told her before asking, due to their strong WinterClan blood. But was he wrong? Was there someone else he should have chosen? Their kits would be strong1 Pureblood, WInterClan kits! Was that not enough?! So lost ion his panic and fear, he didn't realize that Snowbunny had spoken once more, or that he'd missed his que to kiss his bride.
Rosettelatte felt her head lift up, her eyes shifting between the three cats that stood in the center of the clans attention, this was the first sign the divine had given that portrayed hardship but why did it have to be at this wedding. The tip of her tail was twitching where it lay over her paws, Polarblast was finally achieving his goals and now this, she locked eyes with the tom briefly and could not only see but feel the panic that was coursing through him. "Calm down." It was barely a whisper, she knew he wouldnt be able to hear it but she kept her eyes on him in hopes that he would glance her way and know, it was all she could do without completely disturbing the ceremony. Though if it came down to it then she would.

(sorry guys I've been ridiculously tired and busy!)
Jaguarblood gazed at Polarblast with her bloody brown eyes decorated with yellow paint to attract the sunlight to make them truly glisten like fresh blood and fire. She began to feel uneasy as he seemed lost in his own thoughts. The Knight had spoken a warning and then blessed them and she had responded in agreement but yet...Polarblast was saying nothing..she glanced back at Bones with worry in her eyes. What was going on?
His eyes darted to Rosettelatte's unconsciously seeking her out of the crowd. For a moment, he just stared, and then he realized the silence around him and rushed to look away from her once more. Polarblast opened his mouth to speak, closed it, and then tried once more. "I..I do...." His voice trailed off, his move,ments robotic as he leaned forward and kissed his bride's cheek. The ceremony was a utter disaster, from start to finish.

She could hear it in his voice. It was the sound of disappoinment, crushed dreams, despair. For a mwnt Jaguarblood was terrified that she had just been wed to someone who absolutely did not love her. He had seemed so..sincere..until now. Until right now at the alter speaking their vows before their families and the Gods. She blinked fast to keep her eyes from watering as she processed the past few moments. Deep inside she felt a twinge. The first piece of her heart breaking apart. The start of turmoil, the start of bitterness, from that moment on Jaguarblood began a slow and agonizing mental process of shutting down. Shutting everyone out. From that moment on she would live up to her ancestor's stoic melancholy and her turbulent personality.
