As the priest stepped away, Ahnasha reached up and ran her hand through Fendros' hair. "Hmm, that look in your eyes. You're positively glowing, husband." She said, putting extra emphasis on the word. Before, she wouldn't have thought she would have any real attachment to such titles, but she could already feel it growing on her. Overall, she could hardly believe she was in a position to be the center of everyone's attention, with her friends and family quite literally applauding her and Fendros.

Hearing Sabine, Meesei did not stand up yet. Rather, she put her arm over her shoulder and leaned over along with her to bring her head closer to her ears. Given the context of the situation, and what she knew Sabine had been struggling with recently, Meesei did have an inkling of what might be troubling her now. As such, she spoke quietly so as not to draw attention to them. "Is everything alright, Sabine. If you want to talk about anything, we can go find somewhere to have privacy. I am always available for you."

For Kaleeth, she was all smiles throughout most of the ceremony, along with a few tears. To see her good friends looking as happy as they were simply warmed her heart. With as much uncertainty as they usually faced in the war with Vile, she thought it was nice to have something she considered a joyous occasion. Even after the ceremony ended, she could not help but to rest her head on Janius' shoulder and smile at the newlyweds. "Oh, I just love weddings. I remember going to a few of them back in my village. They were celebrations for the entire village, a chance for feasts, singing, dancing, fun games for all the children. I think it was something that really brought everyone together." Turning her head, Kaleeth kissed Janius on the cheek. "So when are we getting married?"

Ahnasha finally pulled herself away from Fendros to greet his family as they approached. "And I will be glad to have a mother like you. A family like all of you, really. This whole day...I was not expecting it all to be like this, but I'm glad it was. I...think I understand the point of these ceremonies now. I used to think they were almost...silly. Well, not anymore. Now that the ceremony is over, I hope we can have time to really talk."

Ahnasha followed just after Fendros in releasing her ashes and stepping around to meet him. She was actually somewhat surprised by how tightly he held her, but she was no less enthusiastic to embrace him. They held one another and kissed for a time that Ahnasha did not even bother to try to keep track of. Their kiss did not last too long, but Ahnasha simply allowed it to last for as long as was needed to express the love she felt towards her new husband.

Once they had at last pulled away from one another, Ahnasha had almost entirely forgotten what she was supposed to do next, or even if there was anything actually left in the ceremony. She just continued to look longingly into Fendros’ eyes with the widest smile he had seen in quite a long time. If there was something else left to do, she supposed the priest would bring it up.

Alright. I just wrote out each line once, also for brevity's sake. It's about time for me to get to bed, so goodnight.

Ahnasha was grateful for the potion, given the nature of the ceremony. Even so, the sight of the hot ash on her heart to start beating faster. Fortunately, the oaths they were about to take took her mind off of it fairly quickly. Being that she did not follow the Reclamations as Fendros did, the words did not connect as deeply to her, but in terms of the bond between them, the meaning behind them was still just as strong. Once Fendros was finished with his oaths, Ahnasha too repeated each phrase after the priest.

"Azura's light revealed you to me,"

"Mephala's webs spun us together,"

"Boethiah's sword cuts us free."

"But not fire, nor frost."

"Nor disease, nor famine."

"Blood, oblivion, nor hardship and power shall force our souls asunder."

"As long as I live, Fendros Avarul."

"You are as I would care for my own soul."

"This I swear, for all my ancestors to hear."

"And the reclaimed tribunal that guides me, blessed they be."

Ahnasha was of course still aware that all of her friends were watching, but for the moment, her attention was solely invested in Fendros, and the priest beside them. She could not help but to feel closer to Fendros than she had been in quite a while.

As the ceremony began, even Ahnasha, who had never considered ceremony in general to be important, started to feel some anxiety. Between the presence of Fendros' family, the formality of the priest's words, and the fact that everyone was focused solely on herself and Fendros, she started to get a sense of how others tended to feel about these events. Still, she kept her concentration. The ceremony had been described to her before, so she knew what she was meant to be doing, but it was not as if she knew every detail of the ceremony. The priest's words regarding love and marriage certainly gave her an even greater respect for him. For a brief moment, Ahnasha wondered if Fendros' parents had known of the opinions of their local Dunmer priest. If not, she hoped that conversation came up at some point between his father and the priest.

When the priest came to the words asking them to confirm their union, Ahnasha quickly drank her potion while he was speaking to Fendros and set aside the bottle just in time for him to ask the same question of her. "Yes, absolutely." Ahnasha answered with confidence. She brought her hands up in the same manner as Fendros and awaited for the priest to continue.

Among the pack, there were none who were really familiar with Dunmer weddings, except perhaps for Sabine, given her birthplace. However, there was nothing so far that seemed unexpected. Like Ahnasha, Meesei did not care for elaborate ceremonies and marriage traditions, but she found it to be pleasantly romantic regardless. Even Lorag was actually paying close attention.

None that I know of.

It makes sense in the ceremony, though unfortunately, Ahnasha doesn't actually have any family that would have a surname. I think saying something along the lines of "Ahnasha, daughter of Gwindir" would fill the same function. At this point, she wouldn't have a problem naming her family members. Especially since it wouldn't actually be easy at all to track down someone with just a first name, across possibly all of Tamriel.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

It wouldn't be strange or anything for Ahnasha to have no surname, if I'm understanding properly. Khajiit don't have family names. Though, the same is also true of the Bosmer, so I don't know what she could be said to be descended from.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

I didn't have anything in mind for conversations before the ceremony, at least. I also don't know what the ceremony will entail, so I just took us as far as I could.
