Brakelatabasaasta + Jenny Govvy WEDDING TIME!

[Malaclypse 666]

Malaclypse raised an eyebrow at the crowd, which seemed become a bit less noisy.

"Now, if you will join hands."

Malaclyse reached under the blouse made by his tucked-in Robe, and into to deep pockets. His hands emerged, holding the two halves of a large yellow apple, sliced vertically. He held the two halves out to the Bride and Groom, who accepted them. Brakelatabasaasta started to raise the apple half to his mouth, but Mal wagged a finger and shook his head.

"You each hold part of a single, whole, perfect apple. Study it carefully, especially the core.

"Within the core of that apple, you will see seeds. Those seeds represent the things you each bring to this union. They can be seen, and they can be counted. (No.. it's a metaphor, Brakky.. you don't need to count them now..).

"Now, it is possible to count the seeds in the apple, but none of us can count the number of future apples each of those seeds represents. As the seeds of your union are sown, some of them will fall on fallow ground. Many of them will take root, and produce saplings. Some of those saplings may wither, due to lack of water, or nourishment, or "care". But, many will grow to maturity, and produce an unknown quantity of new, whole apples."

"Those new apples represent the fruit of your union. Whether that fruit is new experiences, or shared truths, or the children produced from.. well... fruiting, they are symbols of new life produced from the seeds you wil plant today."

"End of fruit story. Try them with a little sour cream and brown sugar after the ceremony!"

Malaclypse then raised his hands towards the ceiling, and continued:

"Blessed Eris! We bring before you today two sides of the same Apple, nourished with love, and ready to embark on whatever journey you choose to interfere with, or Bless, in your quirky Whissdom!"

He then lowered his hands, and looked at Jenny.

"Jennifer Government, Hodge personified, do you, of your own free Will and Volition, take this Podgy fellow as your mate, through bliss, confuzzlement, and a whole range of other amazing emotive descriptors?"
