CEREMONY

As a love story always does, the wedding inspired the best of Kalahari, as their friends, and notable guests of the beloved couple, gathered to celebrate in word, song, dance, and festive fun the union of two wonderful beings.

WEDDING INTRODUCTION

King Hassan ibn Trrrol: "Kalaharians and other friends – I welcome you on this joyous day to bind together Sheikh Franco Carfield and Glen Locke in matrimony.  The Sheikh has been a much valued part of our community for a long time and we are pleased to welcome Glen back to our land
after a period of absence."

VOWS

Sheikh Franco Carfield: "I knew from the moment she entered my vision that this lady was to be my true love – and now after several months, she has accepted my proposal and agreed to be my wife.  She enters my family and will play a major part in my life from here on.  Glen, I ask you again in front of the good people of our fine Kingdom, will you become my wife?"

Glen Locke: "Your Majesty, people of the Kalahari – it is with much joy I have returned to this land – and into the house of the Sheikh.  (turns to the Sheikh) It is with great love and pleasure that I accept your proposal and wish to become your wife."

Sheikh Franco Carfield: "It gives me great pleasure to pass you this ring to show that we are wed – as one couple from here forward."

Glen Locke: "I accept your ring and pass to you one for your finger also – although the larger ring – around my neck remains in place – I am your wife and your slave – you are my love, my husband and my Master."

King Hassan ibn Trrrol: "My subjects of the Kalahari, it gives me pleasure to present to you Sheikh Franco Carfield and his wife Glen."

(Sheikh Franco Carfield kisses Glen Locke)

Wild Applause.

At this point, Xade Jurado presented a beautiful loving cup as her wedding gift to the loving couple.

and as the evening came, the lanterns provided by Xade cast a warm glow over the assembled guests.

Glen Locke: "My husband and I would like to thank The King, all the peoples of the Kalahari and in particular Tina and my old friend Afraa for their help in the preparations. Please accept a glass of champagne from Rose."

Afraa al Abid: "I propose a toast of health, happiness and long life not to mention that their union may be blessed with offspring 

to continue the House of Carfield."

Afraa al Abid: "There is food and plenty of drink – please enjoy yourselves, and feel free to join the dancing, and celebrate with the happy couple."

THE PARTY

The assembled guests, with their eyes, ears, and hearts nourished, soon rushed to the beautiful buffet of food, prepared by Princess Nathalie, 
to fill their bellies!

After the food and drink sated one of the desires cherished by Kalaharians, it was time for two other desires:

dancing:

and, well, you know:

FIREWORKS

The evening ended with a stunning light show and fireworks display 
arranged by Xade.

All is now quiet: the tent has been folded, the food distributed, the musicians have packed up their instruments, the guests have found their way home.

But something lingers, a touch of beauty fills the air, the warm memories of two people whose love brought them together reminds us all that peace and beauty are our destiny, if only we have the courage to choose them.

All glory to Kalahari
and peace and beauty as well!
