An Invitation to the Imperial Wedding


On behalf of Her Imperial Majesty Empress Beatrice and His Royal Highness the Prince Alexander I am pleased to issue this Invitation to the Imperial Wedding, scheduled to take place on the 21st of February at Pyrena Castle.

Following a traditional Rokkenjiman wedding the newly-weds will host a feast in the East Dining Room in honour and celebration of their wedding.

In keeping with tradition the Empress has invited several women close to her to act as Envoys of the Seven Goddesses to confer the blessings of the Goddesses upon her union. To be selected as an Envoy is a position of honour, and it is my great pleasure to announce the following Envoys:

Former Prime Minister Evangeline, who shall act as the Envoy of Islyna
Princess Evanthe, who shall act as the Envoy of Sehkma
Imperial Councilor for Intelligence Clara McCartney, who shall act as the Envoy of Anahima
Former Elpidian President Elizabeth Quilo, who shall act as the Envoy of Adora

The Empress has invoked the right of deferment to allow the family of the bridegroom to invite the remaining Envoys, which they shall announce at their discretion.

As the Envoy for Islyna Evangeline shall confer her blessings last and officiate the marriage.

Empress Beatrice and Prince Alexander announced their engagement after the signing ceremony of the Covenant of Nations. February 21st is a sacred day in Rosarianity, marking the date Islyna conceived Rokkenjima. It is the hopes of the Empress and Prince that, in this time of war and conflict, their marriage may serve as an example of unconditional love and a celebration of life.

Foreign dignitaries and guests will be accommodated at Pyrena Castle for the duration of their stay in Rokkenjima for the wedding ceremony. The Empress invites dignitaries from all nations to attend her wedding, and has invited the children of the Arovium Provincial Orphanage as her Guests of Honour. The Guests of Honour from the Kingdom of Dartfordia shall be announced shortly.

Re: Imperial Wedding


The Empress is touched by the several kind words received thus far and eagerly awaits the arrival of your dignitaries. While command of the seas and skies around Rokkenjima are fully under Imperial control it would be irresponsible to not take precautions. Thus to ensure the safety and security of Her guests the Empress shall be increasing air and sea patrols for the duration of the ceremony. We do not foresee any credible threats to your transit to Rokkenjima and are taking these measures only as an added layer of security.

Accommodations in Pyrena Castle will be ample and satisfying, and the Imperial House Staff will be at your service for the duration of your visit to Rokkenjima. The Empress looks forward to strengthening ties with our friends, building links with new friends, and even improving relations with those not so friendly in a series of meetings the day following her wedding.

Lord High Steward of Rokkenjima

Dear all,

His Royal Highness the Prince Alexander is thankful for the support received from members of the Independent Order. He looks forward to welcoming delegates to the wedding at Pyrena Castle, which will become his official residence following the wedding. Attached below is a joint statement by the governments of Dartfordia and Rokkenjima regarding titles and styling, both prior and following the wedding.

May His Majesty’s Government assure attending dignitaries that Dartfordia will assist Rokkenjima in financing and security; in particular providing highly trained ceremonial guards to line the procession routes. The Dartfordian delegation will have immediate protection from the Royal Navy and the Royal International Police Deployment Corps, who will be stationed in Pyrettania.

Further details, including the official wedding program and details about the Dartfordian guests of honour and deities, shall be released at a later point.

Luke Foreman
Secretary of State for Foreign and Independent Order Affairs

Joint Statement by the Governments of Dartfordia and Rokkenjima
 
The Right Honourable Luke Foreman, Foreign and Independent Order Secretary, and the Right Honourable Charles Foster Ofdensen, Lord High Steward of Rokkenjima have announced the upcoming changes to Empress Beatrice’s and Prince Alexander’s Imperial and Royal titles.

On 19th February 2014, King George I shall invest the historic title of Prince of Littlebrook in Prince Alexander, giving him the title of His Royal Highness the Prince of Littlebrook. Following the wedding his title shall become His Royal Highness the Prince of Littlebrook, Emperor of Rokkenjima. Upon his accession to the throne, he shall be styled, in Dartfordia, as His Imperial and Royal Majesty the King and Emperor, and as His Imperial and Royal Majesty the Emperor and King in Rokkenjima.

The title of the Empress shall remain unchanged in Rokkenjima until the Prince’s accession to the throne, meanwhile in Dartfordia she will be titled Her Royal Highness the Princess of Littlebrook, Empress of Rokkenjima. Upon accession, her titles will match those of her husband.

When jointly representing one country on foreign soil, the couple should be addressed by the title used in the country they are representing. If representing both countries, they should always be introduced with the most senior title first. Upon Prince Alexander’s accession to the throne, this shall be Their Imperial and Royal Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Rokkenjima and the King and Queen of Dartfordia. This rule shall also apply if either Empress Beatrice or Prince Alexander represent both countries at a single function.

Any children of Empress Beatrice and Prince Alexander shall be styled ‘Imperial and Royal Highness’ in Rokkenjima and ‘Royal Highness’ in Dartfordia until the Prince’s accession, when they will be styled identically. The first child shall immediately become the heir apparent of Dartfordia, but if the child is male, shall become heir presumptive. The heir presumptive may displaced by a younger sister in the Rokkenjiman line of succession.

These changes have been made to ensure the integrity of both the Imperial House of Rokkenjima and the Royal House of Dartfordia.

Grant sends a personal message to the empress.

"Good evening empress. I'm afraid to say I can not make it to the funeral for reasons regarding the populace. However, I was able to have a close friend of mine craft a little something for you and the lucky man. A 20k gold necklace for you, and a platinum ring with the royal Dartfordian crest on it. I send my best wishes for the both of you. Enjoy yourselves."

As Emperor of Rokkenjima, Prince Alexander shall have his own office focusing solely on his work in Rokkenjima.

The invitation is accepted. The President himself will attend. His aids will accompany him to Rokkenjima but not to the wedding. Also the President wishes to know if a news team from The Albanor News Network can broadcast the precession live or if such action would be inappropriate.
