Our wedding is finally in sight, and we'd really love for you to be there to celebrate with us!
The legend begins in a united kingdom far away from all. Lady Rehana and Sir Ijaz, fierce lovers and adventurers of the Hussain dynasty, became two of the most renowned Punjab merchants in the Glaswegian area. From their love emerged four beautiful new lives, one of which was named Rida.
As Rida's birth was the first of the family, her early life became a challenging yet forging one. The girl's nature was far from common, as her audacity, and honesty rapidly stood out in discussions. Success after success, she dares again, at the age of eighteen, taking on the path of university to study the taxation matters.
Anyhow, in a nearby land, it is a child named James who will arise, a total of three years after Rida, and two days apart on the calendar. He was born the youngest of two sons, to a respected Guard father, Thierry, and triumphant Scribe mother, Amanda, respectively of Frank and Anglo-saxon origin. His development was more comfortable, although his unusualness was certainly as obvious, notably as a jester of the schools he attends. After painfully finishing his early studies, it is for the arts of games that he developers an affection, and travels to a university in the land of the Scots.
Living mere kilometres away from each other for two years in the village of Dundee, their first meeting can only be attributed to great fortune. Both enjoy a chaotic and frivolous lifestyle while learning their respected crafts, and it is the thirteenth day of October that an uncanny miracle will happen. Rida, having grown a liking to games, promptly decided to join the university's dedicated club of which James was a core member. Soon after the introductions, Rida changed the initial plans of the group and lead them to a nearby tavern, where they discussed, and ultimately shared a first smile. Oh to relive this moment...
Soon after their shared interest, the Dark Plague forced the population to limit their movements, but it did not deter their unquenchable love for each other. Living aside from each other for years, they learned, shined and grew, akin two trees destined to stay by each others' side. Through challenges, but also, and mostly, phenomenal adventures together, their lives were transformed forever. Two souls, wondering the lands and the peoples, wondering them together, forever. It is almost seven whole years after their first looks exchanged that they decide to officialise their union with their peers and family, on the second day of may. In fact, they have summoned you, will you accept to share this moment with them?
