September's Wedding in a Fantasy World

And you thought all I did was take pictures......

This past September in the fantasy world we keep in our back field, a great celebration took place; the marraige of Sage Hektor Malthesian and Aleah Juleswood, an elven healer.

Ok, not your average wedding, not your average town, and definately not an ordinary day.

Welcome to the world of LARPing, or Live Action Role Playing. Janet and I have been hosting this game (or some version thereof) for the last 16 years. During all of that time, we have played our separate characters, never being the man & wife we are outside of the game.

This year, we corrected that gross oversight, by injecting a little romance and intrigue, and finishing up with a marraige celebration and feast (including a pig roast) to reward all of those players and characters who have kept us young these last 16 years.
