On the way to Laurdy's house he was at peace in her shoulder. As the carriage was heading towards the house. She woke him up gently and tap his back. She told him they will be arriving soon. They need to prepare themselves for the next step for them to be recognized by his family. In the Laurdy's manor the families and their blood line is waiting. The elders that will give them blessings and their will for the two of them. It is a symbolic ritual that has been passed down for generation to generation of the house Laurdy. Each child of the blood line that will get married has to gone through it. It's symbolizes the families guidance for the new branch to their family.
An offering, sending off goodwill, inheritance, rights and recognition. She don't expect much of what will the family will give them. A piece of land and a small house would be enough for her. A place she grow and to have her peace. A memory that they will share.
The carriage stop from the distance- he then goes out the carriage waiting for her. She then grab his hand and stand by his side.In the distance there is a golden light. She saw fifteen elder people in front his family manor. Aiden's mother is carrying the golden lights. It was civil twilight the landscape of the beautiful horizon can be seen at the back of the manor. The golden lights that shines that guides two people to walk towards it.
He then kneel in front of her- may the blessings of my family be with us. He gently kiss her hands- for a second she seen his eyes glow brighter than the fireflies around. The two of them walk towards the manor. Fireflies guides them towards the golden light. As they keep walking the sun is slowly setting and the moon started glowing in the night sky. The blow of the wind that carries the warmth of autumn. The golden leaves falling and the silence is the music in the air.
The two of them stop fifteen steps away from the family. One step for each of them- his mother walk towards them an stop at the middle. The ceremony is starting- the children start dancing in the middle for the passed fifteen minutes. The elders then stamped their cane making the place
in total silent. The two of them in a distance kneels and bows their head fifteen times. Then the elders start chanting at where they standing. The sound from their canes are in sync creating a melody offering their blessings for them. The golden lights is slowly banishing. The moon is giving them light even her head is on the ground she can feel their dark blue eyes glowing. It makes her spine shivers- she feels it in her bone a beauty resemble the sky's above them. The ritual last for two hours outside the manor.
