As I look back... and how Shadow and I first meet. It was on Hellhole, an island with a water fall that ran with blood. She would sit by its flowing banks... and watch the color of red flow into the eternal sea. I would stop by and keep her company, as she sat by herself. I did not know what she had in her mind. But at least I wanted her to know I cared and sat by her side. We became a couple, we parted ways, and I got another chance with her.
Through our past experience, and good fortune of events, brought our hearts together again, as a married couple in Second Life. Here is our wedding ceremony and the reception that followed.
DJ Johnny plays, "Your Beautiful" as my bride walked up the wedding aisle.
Lord Coronzon: Welcome everyone to this most joyous and solemn union of the founding Overlord of Hellhole, Kaboom Coba and his lovely fiancée Shadow Dancer.
Many of us have known Lord Kaboom Coba since the founding of Hellhole. And others most recently from his welcoming presence in Hellhole’s new incarnation. It seemed that Shadow was the one woman that kept this Handsome Devil’s interest beyond time and distance. Their love is truly a unique blessing in a world of temptations and petty jealousies that easily destroy those less sincere. So it is with great honor and humility that I get to preside over the union of these two wonderful beings. Looks at the lovely couple.
The bride and groom have created their own vows and would like to say them now so you may be witnesses. Nods to them with a beaming smile.
My dear Shadow, (she looks into his eyes and smiles...) I Kaboom Coba before this dark assembly, honor you, with all my love, attention, devotion, and all that you wish of me, as your husband, whom I hold you dear to my heart. Your heart and the love within is the precious gift I have of you. I guard it against grief, despair, hopelessness, and loneliness. I fortify it by placing my heart by it, with love, caring, understanding, and patience. This I vow as your husband, and sealed with a kiss and locked by my heart. I love you, my dear wife Shadow.
Scarlett sighs. Shadow*takes a deep breath with eyes filled with water.. and tries to remember what she had... looks into his eyes and starts to talk.
My dear Kaboom... I believe in you, the Demon you will grow to be and the couple we will be together. With my whole heart, I take you as my husband, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family’s love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my Demon... my love and my life, today and always. I Love You...
(smiles at Shadow with the vows she recited. She smiles up at him...)
Scarlett wipes away a tear. Lord Coronzon smiles at the beautiful words, looking at the Overlord Kaboom.
Lord Kaboom Coba, will you take Shadow Dancer to be your wife as you have taken her as your partner? Do you commit yourself to her happiness and self-fulfillment as an immortal being? Do you promise to love, honor, and trust her in adversity and prosperity, through the difficulties of time and space, and to be true and loyal to her unto eternity itself?
I do. (she smiles at me)
Lord Coronzon Nods and turns his attention to the Lady Shadow.
Lady Shadow, will you take Kaboom Coba to be your husband as you have taken him as your partner? Do you commit yourself to his happiness and self-fulfillment as an immortal being? Do you promise to love, honor, and trust him in adversity and prosperity, through the difficulties of time and space, and to be true and loyal to him unto eternity itself?
(Shadow *smiles at her love*) A million times... I Do! (I smile with glee.)
Lord Coronzon Grins broadly. If there be any who are opposed to this union, speak now or forever remain silent having had your chance. Pauses for a moment.
With the power vested in me, by the Ultimate Shining Darkness itself. I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. Ave Satanas! You may kiss your wife.
I turn to Shadow and kisses her lips, as she kisses me in return. (our kiss huds failed that day.)
DJ Johnny plays "Come Away With Me." As we walked down the aisle to our wedding reception.
Our first dance, DJ Johnny played "Faithfully." Katrinova provided a couples dance machine.
Shadow and I dancing to "Faithfully"
I was having issues that day with lag, crashing, and rezzing. But I made it through the wedding ceremony. I clicked on the couples machine, and ended up fisting my new wife in front of our friends and guests. I felt so embarrassed and bad for my wife. Everyone laughed, or to some extent surprised! And of course I did not see this going on since I just clicked and jumped on the ball I selected for our first dance. I told my wife to take control of the situation.
It was a great ceremony and our friends enjoyed themselves. Ariel came back on Hellhole, in time for the ceremony. Tig, my demon son, whom I seldom see was present. Julia my daughter. Lady Death, our newest Overlord was present with her minions.
I dedicated a song for Lord Coronzon, "Highway to Hell."
