nce upon a time there
was a fair maiden called Debbie, she had always dreamed of being a
princess for the day but where would she find someone to help her
have the ultimate medieval wedding day she dreamed of, she had
finally met her true love, then she found The Kingdom of Fantaysia.
This dream indeed
became a day never to forget as Magnificent Caerphilly Castle in
Wales was to be the host for her day. Men at arms processed Princess
Debbie over the magnificent portcullis and through to her awaiting
true love. Their betrothal took place in the great hall of
Caerphilly adorned with banners and all corners of the castle alight
with candle light.
Both lovers then
walked hand in hand to the court yard to enjoy an archery tournament
with their guests whilst the Royal banquet was prepared by the Royal
Caterers. The banquet was then called and the wedding celebrations
were to begin. It was then as Lady Debbie walked in she paid
Princess Valaria the highest complement she had ever had pleasure to
hear, Lady Debbie began to cry and said it had taken her breath away
and how beautiful it all looked more than she imagined.
With rules of the
banquet, entertainment from the Royal Jester, Merlin the magician
and the Royalist of Medieval Minstrels Nominus. Peasants were
dragged before her for forgiveness for stealing at one point. Sword
fighting ensued outside as entertainment for the guests. Platters
of spit roast pork, barons of beef and honey glazed chicken were
fetched forth dressed with edible flowers, for a banquet second to
none. Reserve after reserve and an abundance of food was served by the
Royal wenches.
This was the ultimate
banquet. It went on and on into the night. As their day unfolded,
children were fetched forth and given gifts from Lady Debbie and Sir
Richard. They ended being joined in a Celtic ceremony where they
were bound together and where they
declared their undying love a
fitting end to their day.
Princess
Valaria remembered the first conversation she had with Lady
Debbie, "I want to be a Princess for the day, I want to have the
whole medieval experience." So her wish was our command and the
Kingdom set about commanding the armies from north south and west
and all the Royal entertainers to ensure Lady Debbie felt like a
real princess for her special day. Their day ended with Music from
the Royal Minstrels and a ghost tour around the dark corridors of
the castle led by Merlin by candle light. Braziers burnt outside & a
fire show amazed the guests as the night came to and end.
Lady Debbie
and Sir Richards comments amongst others were Absolutely amazing,
awesome, unbelievable, thank you all so much.
