ady Clover and
Sir Dion had very fixed idea when they contacted the princess.
Not only did they want the whole fairytale wedding day they also
wanted pole jousting and falconry and medieval archery for their
guests.
Again on the
hottest day of the year, seems to be a trend here for the
Kingdom of Fantaysia, baring in mind there was heavy rainfall
either side of them in other areas but not on Clover and Dions
special day. The Kingdom arranged for an on site costume service
for their guests & set the scene for their special day.
Clover arrived on
horse back with flowers entwined in its mane and wearing a blue
and white comparison. As her hand maidens led her to her knight
everyone was so excited at the whole experience of being at a
medieval wedding. They were then joined in a hand fasting
ceremony and declared their love.
After they posed
for photographs they then went onto the fun aspect of their day
including hands on falconry, archery and pole jousting, there was more
than enough fun for these guests on this special day. Some of the male guests
(Dions
friends) even got changed for the pole jousting part, to wear
tunics so to save their costumes from being covered in mud. We
had to put the banquet forward as they just didn't want to stop
having fun, but at long last the guests were settled.
Brave knights sat
at their banquet table to protect them from any bad knights who
may try to interrupt their special day. The jester/juggler
wandered on his stilts and entertained and minstrel music
played whilst the guests feasted on a hog roast served by wenches
from the kingdom.
Trouble transpired part way through the banquet and Dion the
groom challenged a couple of rogue knights to a fight, he then
part took in a small sword fight outside to see them off which
was finished with a full on sword fight by the knights of the
kingdom. Calm was assured again & the banquet commenced, An
arrow was presented to a guest who had scored the most points at
archery & as the banquet came to an end. Medieval folk dancing
finished the night to ensure it was a day they would never
forget.
Dion and clover
enjoyed their medieval day that much they joined a
re-enactment society and actually came to a wedding the kingdom
organised as re-enactors, it was good to see them both again and
catch up. They said it was 100 times more than they expected it
to be which the Kingdom takes as a great compliment.
