(OOC: Sorry for going out of character but this event isn't a wedding. Its a formal event that happens when a non royal citizen in the Kingdom of Gotneska becomes engaged to member of the Royal family. It's almost like a wedding but isn't. Sorry for the Confusion. 

So if you're wondering if it's not a wedding then what happens:

Prince Isak stands alone, his anticipation palpable as he awaits the pivotal moments that will shape his destiny. A wise bishop, entrusted with foretelling the path that lies ahead, offers him insight into the journey he contemplates. As the royal guards, stalwart and regal, escort him towards the sacred Chapel, the ethereal atmosphere anticipates the union that looms.

Within the hallowed space, Queen Sarah, regal in her throne, rises gracefully as the doors swing open to welcome Isak. The gravity of his choice weighs heavy; there is no turning back. Two venerable bishops emerge, each carrying the weight of tradition and sanctity. The principal bishop, perhaps even an archbishop, intones verses from the Bible, each word resonating with profound significance, underscoring the gravity of the moment.

A tradition, steeped in history since the year 1384, unfolds before the assembled witnesses. Strikingly symbolic, Isak bares his skin, a gesture marking vulnerability and readiness for transformation. A priest, with solemn purpose, anoints him with cleansing water, a ritual purification that transcends the physical.

In a delicate and deliberate motion, the same priest unveils a small vessel cradling precious olive oil. With precision, he traces a cross upon Isak's back, anointing him as the symbolic figurehead destined to lead the Kingdom of Gotneska. The ceremony, rich in symbolism, weaves a narrative that transcends time, echoing the rituals of kings past.

The climactic moment approaches as Queen Sarah, entrusted with an unfinished sword, stands before Isak. This blade, incomplete in its craftsmanship, mirrors the journey that has just begun. With grace and purpose, she knights him, transforming the once Duke into His Highness King Consort Isak of Gotneska. The unfinished sword, a poignant metaphor, signifies that this journey is yet to be completed.

As Isak kneels before his queen, the final act unfolds. The incomplete sword, a symbol of their union in progress, underscores the promise of a future entwined. A unique sword, meticulously crafted and awaiting completion, awaits the culmination of their union in matrimony—an emblem of their shared journey, a testament to love, duty, and the destiny they forge together.

 

Okay I think this should help.

Konfederacija Poja, Rugi, Central District | Ministry of Foreign Affairs

When the Konfederacija Poja was founded, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministarstvo Vanjskih Poslova; MVP) was something of an afterthought.  It wasn't until 1910 that the MVP was officially founded and, at the time, it was the only government ministry that operated in a building specifically erected for its existence.  The rest operated out of former palaces or buildings associated with the disbanded government of the Kingdom of Liaria.  The MVP was thusly granted ownership of one city block measuring 100 by 120 meters on which they built a modest and small building in the Art Nouveau style.  By the 1940s, the building was hardly sufficient and some of the block, which at that point was a sprawling park, was leveled to add a second building.  When the entire site was demolished in 2016, following the successful transfer of the MVP to a new and sufficiently sized building, the original MVP block contained four buildings.

          Now, the MVP was in a massive office-like building that was new, modern, and more than sufficient for the KP's new push to become a major, international presence.  At its helm was Cvjetko Parlov, who'd taken office when Petrović took office in 2021.  As Minister of Foreign Affairs, a lot rested on Parlov's shoulders and when the Gotneskan invitation to the engagement of Isak and Sorcha arrived, he more than leapt at the occasion.  Not only would he be going to the engagement with his wife Tatjana but he also placed a priority phone call direct to Poja's ambassador to Gotneska, Štefica Gutkowski, who was already planning to attend with her husband Sergiusz.  Thus, the Pojački delegation to the royal engagement would be four in nature.

Until then, our blessings.
