The occasion was nothing short of legendary. The city, renowned as the jewel of the continent, was adorned in shimmering banners and ethereal lights that bathed every street in a golden glow.
Towering pagodas were wrapped in flowing silks, and fragrant petals drifted through the air like blessings from the heavens themselves.
The celebration was vast and unmatched in grandeur.
Nobles, sect leaders, merchants, and even wandering cultivators gathered to witness the union, their voices rising in waves of cheer as the couple exchanged vows under a sky lit with thousands of floating lanterns.
Heavenly melodies played by spiritual instruments filled the air, resonating in harmony with the sacred aura of the city.
For an entire month, feasts stretched endlessly.
