After drinking a final toast to their union, their guests and the officiating Celebrants, Rayna and Thorne make a triumphal exit from the ceremonial circle to three rousing cheers of "Hip, Hip! HUZZAH!!! from the assembled crowd (Photo, left).

They didn't get far! Hardly had they passed under the Arch of Steel wielded by their Honor Guard, than Taz stopped them to perform -- once again -- a German Sword Oath. Here (Photo, right) they place their right hands on the sword borne by Taz, further sealing their union. As if that wasn't enough, yet another acquaintance stepped in to offer yet another oath, which they gladly accepted. Truly, this couple has been happily bound and pledged by Book, Blood and Blade!!!

Finally, the wedding portrait as husband and wife taken for family and friends -- and the occasional farwander -- as witness to it all (Photo, left).
