RAE POV

I woke up this morning and looked outside. I could see the start of a beautiful day.

I went to my suitcase and pulled out a one piece swimsuit. I grabbed a towel and went down to the pool. I walked into the pool. I practiced swimming a few laps. I was gradually becoming a stronger swimmer. When I climbed out of the pool I saw tables being moved around by caterers. Suzanne called out, "good morning." Just then I saw Enuck, Enock, grandma, Aunt Mary, Rachel, Nicholae, Eno, Trick, Pat, Cali, Michael, Betty, Eve, Erma, 4 of the ladies from the witches council, 3 other children who was calling Suzanne- mom, and a man who gave Suzanne a kiss on cheek walk over to the pool. Trick and Pat came barreling over to me and plowed into me. Sending all three of us into the pool. Pat yelled, "Eno- Ulima said yes to getting into the pool"

Trick looked at me and said. "Eno said if someone agrees to go into the pool with us we could play in it before breakfast." I then picked them up and threw them into water. Then I had 3 more children jumping in.

We splashed and played for about 20 minutes when Suzanne called over, "time to get out and dry off. Breakfast is ready." With a few protest the children all climbed out.

The man I did not know told the kids, if you all go upstairs and change into dry clothes I will take you all downstairs to the playroom. I have donuts, waffles with icecream and a bunch more goodies. You can come with me or do all the girly things with them- pointing to me." Enuck and Nicholae joined him and they all disappeared.

We all ate a wonderful breakfast by the pool.  Then Suzanne said follow me. I have set up a day of pampering for all of us. Here are robes. Everyone go to your rooms and change into this robe. Leave nothing on below it. Meet at the bottom of the stairs here. Then we will get started.

We all were down in under 15 minutes and she lead us to a wonderful room that was set up for massages. They had 6 massage tables set up on both sides of the room.  The staff lead us each to a table and closed the curtains and we all got a private massage. I felt very relaxed when it was done.

After the massages were done Suzanne lead us into another room that was set up for pedicures and manicures. I noticed Trixie and another little girl were there. They were getting their nails done. They were giggling that we all were wearing white robes. We all had French manicures done.  As soon as my youngest sister and her new friend's nails were done they rejoined the other children back in the playroom.

When are nails we're done we were lead into a room where our hair was being styles. I decided to do mine in an upside with baby's breath. I did not want to wear a veil.

When our hair was done we were lead through another door into a dining room where a lunch buffet was set. We all were giggling and laughing and having a great time. Everything appeared to be finger food. We all just stood around the table talking and trying all the various foods.

When we were done eating we were lead back into the room. We were told to go back to the chair we sat in earlier. We then had our makeup done. Upon completion of the makeup everyone was told to head back to their room. Their dresses for the wedding would be found there and the person who did their hair and makeup would be assisting them get dressed. Suzanne called out, "not you Rae. You are being brought to the bridal room. The guys soon will be arriving and we will usher them into the grooms room. Our tradition says bride and groom cannot see wat h other before the wedding. By Kitsuni tradition it will be your Mom and the Betty who will help you dress. Plus since Aunt Mary raises Nash after his parents died she will also assist." She then guided me into a beautiful room and indicates a white chair that looks like a throne. "Sit here and they will be in shortly." She then leaves the room.

My mom walked in carrying the dress, "beannaich an neach a bhios a 'caitheamh an dreasa seo" [bless the person who wares this dress.] She then drapes it on a table in front of me.

Betty came in carrying two sets of bridal shoes. "As you get ready to begin your next journey may you your first step as wife be joyous and may that joy always be with you." She sets them on the floor beside the table." [those that don't realize it. Ulima were a size 6 and Rae wears a size 8.5 shoes.]

Aunt Mary comes in, carry a black velvet box, "I am the keeper of a family tradition that does back many generations. Every bride who was an Osborne or was marrying into the family has been wearing what is contained in this box. This was a tradition going back about 200 years in our family before it posted as a tradition that many brides have done since 1876.  Your something old, borrowed, and blue." She opens up the case and I see a beautiful blue diamond necklace and earrings. She sets it beside the dress and leans forward and kisses my cheek.

They help me get in the dress. Eno after buttoning the last one leans forward and says, "now transform to Ulima as soon as Betty gets your shoes on." This dress all the sudden looks like a long dress with a train. All three ladies gasp. Aunt Mary then puts in the necklace and earrings. Betty says, "transform back." Which I do. Now the dress is knee length in front and goes a little beyond my ankles in back."

Eno leans forward and kisses her daughter's cheek, "Now it is time  for me to say goodbye to my little girl." Then she indicates for Betty and Aunt Mary to leave and she talks to me privately for a few minutes. I honestly just feel a powerful love and do t remember what she said to me. She gives one more kiss and walks to the door to get Enuck.

"You ready?" He asked,

"Yes, Enuck." I replied.

He then opens up the door and leads me outside to a beautiful arch arbor. I see family and friends turning and standing looking toward the back. I see Cali and Eve walk down the aisle as my bridesmaids. Then Pat walks down the aisle carrying a pillow with our wedding rings. I see Trixie walking down the aisle tossing flowers in the air as they land on the ground and the people near the aisle. I smile and giggle at her antics. I then look toward the front and see the priestess, Nicholae and Jeremy. I don't see Nash. While standing in the back. I then see a door open and Michael and Betty escorts him to the front. They kiss his cheek and goes sits in the front row pew. He turns and looks toward me and smiles..

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

My Enuck walks me down the aisle to the song "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. We get to where Nash stands. And when the song ends Enuck places my hands into Nash's hands, "you take care of her. He kisses Nash's cheek, "Welcome to our den." He then turns to me and kisses my cheek, "I do love you and this union has your Enock and my blessing." He then turns and goes to the front row pews.

The priestess says, "Friends, family, loved ones. We are all here today to see two people, Nash and  Rae, join hands and be bound together by their love, now and forever. Before we begin the ceremony, we will turn this place into sacred ground. As I cast the circle, please take a moment to visualize loving, positive energy for Nash and Rae."

She then closes her eyes and mumbles word and wave her hands. I feel a gentle breeze blow over us and see some dirt raise in the air and moves to form a circle around our area. I admit I was impressed to see dirt the earth move and get no dirt on anyone. Then turns toward us, "The circle has been cast, and this is now a sacred space."

She takes our hands into hers, "These are the hands of your best friend; young, strong and full of love, that are holding you on your wedding day.  As you promise to love each other today, tomorrow and all the tomorrows after that.  If you Rae and Nash promise to love each other for eternity say I DO."

Nash and I look each other in the eye and reply, "I do."

"These are the hands that will together to build your future from 2 to 1. If you  promise to build a union of 1 from this day forward say I DO."

We reply, "I do."

"These are the hands that will passionately love and cherish you through your lives. They will with the slightest touch comfort you when fear or grief fills your mind. They will be the hands who will wipe away your tears no matter if sorrow or joy.  If you promise to cherish each other like that from now and eternity say I DO"

We reply, "I do."

"These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children  They will help mold your family as one. They will give you strength when you need it.  If you promise to give each other strength from this day forward say I DO."

We reply, "I do."

"Lastly these are the hands from this time forward as you wrinkle and age will still be reaching toward each other with the same unspoken gentle tenderness toward each other. If you promise to give each other this tenderness say I DO."

We reply, "I do." She lets go of our hands and steps backs.

She then looks at Pat and gestures for him to step up to her, "We will now take a moment to consecrate the rings." She then goes to removes the rings from the pillow.

Pat look at her and says, "At you sure your suppose to do that? Eno said I was carrying the ring for bride and groom and your not them." He points toward Nash and I, "I don't want to get in trouble. Eno said if Trixie and I behave today she would fly us to Disneyland before we fly back home." Several people laugh.

The priestess kneels down and looks him in the eyes, "you won't get in trouble. I will bless the rings. You can stand beside me and I will let you hand them the rings if that makes you feel better." Pat's face looks relieved and he nods his head.  He moves beside her and she stands up and removes the rings from the pillow.  She looks over everyone in the pews and hold the rings up in the air. "These rings represent  the circle itself is an infinite thing. It is magical and never-ending, never changing and yet always adaptable, a ring with no beginning and no conclusion. Like the circle, true love itself is infinite. It goes on, knowing no boundaries or restrictions. It flourishes and blooms in the light and in the dark, laying down no ultimatums, making no demands at all. Love, in its infinite form, is something that cannot be forced. It cannot be taken away. It is a gift we give to ourselves, and an honor we give to others from the bottom of our hearts and souls.."  she holds the rings up and mumbles a few words and the  water in the fountains just outside the circle shoots up into the air.  We had a few sprinkles of water come down on us. She then places the ring back in the pillow for Pat to hold.  She leans forward and whispers something in Pat's ear. He nods his head and steps forward, "Nash if you promise to give Rae the type of love the ring repa, repa," He stops and scrunches up his face and looks at the priestess and says "what's that word again?"

"Represents."

"Represents you put this ring on her finger and say, I DO."

Nash picks up the ring and places it on my finger. "I do."

Pat then looks at me and says, "if you promise the same thing you put the ring on his finger."

I pick up the ring and lean down and give my brother a kiss on his cheek. "Your doing a great job."

"Ewww." He stands up proud and wipes his cheek.  Once  again a few laughters happen."

I then turn toward Nash and slide the ring on his finger and say, "I do." Then Pat goes and stands by Jeremy.

The priestess then says, "Today is a day to celebrate the love of  Nash and Rae. They are two people who are the halves of a whole. Two souls, coming together to form one single being; two hearts, beating in a single rhythm.  Can the mom's come forward with their candles."

Betty and  Firas step foreword with your candles. They stand up and Jeremy goes to Betty and offers his arm.  Betty turns toward Aunt Mary, please step foreword with me."  Aunt Mary stands up and Jeremy escorts them to stand by Nash. They let go of his arms and Aunt Mary places her hand over Betty who is holding the candle. When Aunt Mary touches her hand the candle lit up.  Jeremy goes and stand by Pat.

Then  Nicholae walks over to Firas and escorts her to the front. Firas lets go of Nicholae's arm and uses her tail and lights the candle.

The priestess looks at each person and says. "These two, Nash and Rae wish to become one. Please hand your candle to your child." Eve steps foreword and set a candle on a table that is off to the side. "Nash and Rae, your love ones by handing you their candles have shown they feel you two shall come together as one, and so now you two will now light a candle of unity, to show the universe that they indeed are one light burning brightly in the darkness."  We walk over to the unity candle and light it with the candles we were given.  We then blew out our individual candles.  Cali steps forward and takes our candles we just blew out. The only candle lit is our unity candle.

Priestess says, "today, we ask that the infinite light of the divine shine upon this union. In that spirit, I offer a blessing to this ceremony."

She raises her hands and turns toward the east. "Blessed be this marriage with the gifts from the east — new beginnings that come each day with the rising sun, communication of the heart, mind, body and soul."  She turns to the south, "Blessed be this marriage with the gifts of the south — the light of the heart, the heat of passion, and the warmth of a loving home."  She turns to the west, "Blessed be this marriage with the gifts of the west — the rushing excitement of a raging river, the soft and pure cleansing of a rainstorm, and a commitment as deep as the ocean itself."  She turns to the north.  "Blessed be this marriage with the gifts of the north — a solid foundation on which to build your lives, abundance and growth of your home, and the stability to be found by holding one another at the end of the day."

She then lowers her hands and faces us,  " Nash and Rae, these four simple blessings will help you on your journey that begins today. However, they are only tools. They are tools which you must use together to create the light, the strength, the infinite energy now and forever of a love you both so richly deserve by nurturing all daily.

Nash and Rae "do you  both declare your love and commitment to this journey?"

Nash and Rae,"I do." Then we both said to each other, "I love you."

"The vows of love have been spoken. I ask you now to cross your hands over each other, and take one another's hands."  The priestess pulls a cord from her pocket. She wraps the cord around Nash and mine wrists, binding them together loosely and tying a knot. "This cord ribbons symbolizes so much. It is your life, your love, and the eternal connection that the two of you have found with one another. The ties of this handfasting are not formed by these ribbons, or even by the knots connecting them. They are formed instead by your vows, by your pledge, your souls, and your two hearts, now bound together as one.   As one last bond, Nash. will you please kiss Rae?"

"Hell yeah." Then he crushes his mouth on mine.

The priestess says, "by the power of this stated I now pronounce you husband and wife." When Nash lifts his mouth off mine I hear the priest says. "Please join me in celebrating the wedding of MR AND MRS NASH OSBORNE." The crowd claps and cheers. When the cheering is done

Enock and Enuck step up to the priestess. They bow their heads in respect. Enuck says, "We have already had this circle blessed.  We would like to request everyone stand; form a circle around us, and clasp your neighbor's hand." We see everyone stand and holds their neighbor hands. Enock then says, "Nash and Rae before we go on to the compere blessings I would like for Rae to transform into Ulima," Suzanne walks forward and exchanges Rae's shoes to Ulima's shoes. "We need for Nash to understand that he will have loose his witches's powers, but not his gifts if he accepts the Kitsuni blessing. He will earn Kitsuni powers instead." A few Osborne witches gasp and council members gasp. "Priestess. Isabella, Cassie, Betty and Aunt Mary have discussed this. I know we have mentioned this to you before, but I am not sure you comprehend. We want you to think about this before we do the Kitsuni blessing." Nash and Rae look confused. " What we have decided to do is give you time to think about it.

I want to tell you a story and explain how I know what will happen to you. I can tell you that because I too use to be a witch. I met Aayda and knew she was special. She knew I was her compere, but we had no one explain to us what being a compere was. I lost my power the day her Eno gave us the Kitsuni blessing. The world lost my power because I did not know I could pass it on. I am now going to reveal something that will surprise everyone but Aayda." I then form transform into Ethan Osborne.

Isabella gasp, "Ethan Osborne- you became a Kitsuni? My sister, Arabella said you died. We had a big funeral for you."

"Mama cast me out. She said if I was going to get with that thing then I was not welcomed in her house. I never regretted having my compere. We had seven children. We enjoyed our time together. I see Nash and Rae together and I am determine they stay together. That even if I am in the afterlife they will always have me. If Nash goes down this route things will be different with him. I will be his counselor.

I now know that if you choose to do the compere blessing which will take place in 21 days I would suggest on day 20 do a transfer of power spell.   I would decide whom you want to transfer too between now and then.  I would choose someone you are close to and is family. Then get your family and council's blessing.

Enock and Enuck then intertwines their tails. A fire shoots up in the air. Then from the fire comes fire butterflies. They form into a number 21.

It is our belief that the Kitsuni is blessed by Angel 21.
It can help your love to grow deeper and stronger, and it can reassure your loved ones that they are your top priority. However, your guardian angels are also telling you to value your own happiness and satisfaction. When you give, it's not a crime to receive as well. Just like the meaning of angel number the 21 meaning encourages you to value yourself as you value your loved ones. When you give to others, make sure that you leave some for yourself, too. Loving someone and making sure that they are okay should not leave you feeling empty and exhausted. It should fill you with joy and inspiration, and your heart should feel like it's about to explode with all that love and happiness.

If at the end of your 20 days you feel the value we will meet at Granny Osborne's coven's circle at 9pm. We will hear to whom or whether you choose to transfer your power. If you choose yes the council will convene to either accept or reject your choice. If they agree with your decision they will do it that night. If they disagree with your choice then you will negotiate and must be decided on prior to the 21 days. Then the next day which will be day 21 we will give you the Kitsuni blessing.. if not decided on you have to wait another 21 days.

Until then we give you a promise that as family and friends we will support. We now send out the fiery butterflies to those both near and far. They will enter each person whom this is being shared." Then the fire butterfly descends and enter each person at the ceremony and the rest take offs to various people around the world who meant something to the family.

Then Cassandra comes up to us and she bows  to the priestess and the Kitsuni. "Thank you for sharing that expression of happiness. I look foreword to hearing the answer in 21 days. Now it time for the family to bless you and formally welcome you to our family."

Grandma says: "Who approaches this sacred space?"

Aunt Mary walk up to Nash and Ulima: "I bring Rae and Nash as a couple who wishes to know the mysteries of this coven as one instead of two.  They wishes to honor the god and goddess."

Grandma co tines. "Mary, by what name will they  be known within this sacred circle?"

Mary  responds "with his  will be Blazing Fox and her name will be Infernal Vixen  will be their magical names."  The candles all flare to the skies

"The gods have deemed you worthy." She picks up a container of salt and draws a circle around her" now. please Fox and Vixen please  enter the sacred circle, and kneel in our presence." We both did it.

Cassandra says: "before you are initiated as a two to one couple into our coven, are you ready to be purified?

Nash and I say, "Yes"

Cassandra raisers her hand, "Mother Earth please bless these two who wish to become one?" You see water from the nearby pool float up and float about the couple. "By joining our Osborne coven as one , you become part of a greater spiritual family. As such, you are part of an endless circle of kinship and hospitality. Hail ye, Gods and Goddesses! Hail to kinsmen and clan, to the ancestors who watch over us, and to those who may follow. Here before you kneels Fox and Vixen soon to be a sworn part of this coven. do you two accepting this purification?"

"Yes" then water sprinkles down on them from above.

Then each member of the actual family stepped forward and murmured, "bless be this couple," and a kiss on the cheek of the bride.

Cassandra stands up and says, "Welcome to begging to present line of Osborne: Isabella, Johanna, Elizabeth, Penelope, Stephanie, Genevieve, Kathy, Rosa, Laura, Cassandra, and Michael. Today we add to our timeline the two in one couple- Nash and Rae.

She takes a sip of wine. The gives a sip to the bride and groom. "Welcome to the family." She lifts her hand and says, "Mother Earth please open the circle so we all can leave and celebrate this Union." The wind picks up and blows the salt away to erase the circle.

Then I turn back to Rae and we lead everyone out of the circle to the reception area. Where we drink, eat and dance the night away.

When the reception started winding down many of us walked back to the patio and say goodbye to our love ones who needed to go to their eternal west. Nash and Rae hug and kisses their family goodbye. You saw members disappear one by one. Then Nash and I left on our Honeymoon.
