Thomas Cardinal Woolsley (in red hat, center, Photo, Left) regards the Goblin King with no little shock and dismay as he prepares to read the vows of matrimony for Goblin Prince Cul DuSack (all too eager to consummate his nuptial vows, Right) and his mortal bride, Cecily Shrift (Left). Who can blame the good Cardinal? Even in Medieval times, there surely must have been laws against doing the, er (cough, ahem!) "cross-species" thing!

Queen Maeb (in center, Photo, Right) presides at the wedding of mortal Samuel Hawthorne (Left) and Faerie Princess Merrygold (Right). After summoning the Faerie Court to attend, she then called upon the Quarters and the Elements to extend their blessings to the happy couple on this most auspicious occasion. (Photo, Below) Queen Maeb witnesses their marriage vows as Samuel Hawthorne and Princess Merrygold kneel before her, exchanging mutual pledges of Love, troth and fidelity between them.

Mixed reaction: surprise and delight mingle as Private Pue joins a circle dance of joyful Faeries celebrating the marriage of Princess Merrygold to Samuel Hawthorne.

More sedate but no less joyful was this courtly dance of Faeries and Goblin Royalty held in honor of both newlywed couples. On left, Queen Maeb, Cecily Shrift, Princess Merrygold and the Cobweb Fairy bow to their dance partners -- Goblin King Trug, Goblin Prince Cul DuSack, Samuel Hawthorne and Faerie King Oberon, at right. Judging solely from Queen Maeb's reaction in this photo, mayhap someone should have tactfully instructed the Goblin King in some dental hygiene before the dance!
