[The feed shows Aymeric and Night Sky seated at the simple table in Aymeric's backyard. They're holding hands in the middle and smiling, though Night Sky's smile is a bit shy; she remains quiet throughout. For those familiar with her, she looks a little different: her skin is of a strangely golden hue, her eyes are glowing a bit, there are green streaks in her hair, and there are antlers protruding from her head. There is also a ring on her left ring finger.]

Greetings and well-met, everyone. For those we do not yet know, I am Aymeric de Borel, and this is Night Sky. We come to you today with a most joyous announcement: our engagement.

[Their smiles grow a little wider.]

What was originally going to be a party for the Starlight Celebration in about a moon will now be our wedding, and will be themed around the holiday. We have set the date for December 25th. Although the ceremony itself will be kept to close acquaintances only, the reception will be open to all at the Observatory in Coldreach. Food and drink will be present in abundance, including a hot chocolate bar in the evening.

On the note of the Starlight Celebration, I shall provide a brief explanation here, though I can expand upon this on request. [Night Sky glances to Aymeric. As his explanation turns into a bit of a ramble, she watches his excitement with adoration.] It is a holiday in my world, held in early winter. 'Tis a festival of compassion and generosity, full of good food, gift-giving, and warmth. One can expect other features such as decorated pine trees, bells, mistletoe - there is a tradition, in fact, that if one finds themselves standing under a hung spring of mistletoe with another, they must share a kiss. [He and Night Sky share a little look and smile before their focus turns back to the camera.] I could go on, as it is my favourite holiday of all, but I digress...

[It's Christmas. Just by another name.]

Well, I believe that covers the most important information. Please feel free to each out to me if you require any other details. The wedding will be an evening of love and merriment that I hope you will be able to join us for. Farewell for now, and may Halone guide and keep you.

Then it shall be done. We will meet when time allows it for us.

[ Hearing these stories is actually rather comforting for her. She has a family waiting for her in ishgard after all.]

That is gladdening to hear, really. It makes me miss my own family and friends at home.
