HelpKaesy's Royal Congrats Sign-ups
Decided I'd try my hand at this first, and if I think I've got a handle on things I might try a more unique theme after I finish this one.
Setting is your choice - time and place can be as varied as you like, real or fictional. I'll try to make prompts general enough to cover anything you bring to the table - though if you ever find an aspect of it doesn't work for yours, feel free to make alterations. Or just ignore the prompts and pick your names. Your starting royal couple's names are your choice (as well as the number of names, they are royalty after all) If you'd like ages you may keep up with them yourself, to move things forward at your own pace.
I'm planning on ten rounds. Players who miss two in a row will be dropped, but can message me to get back in if they like. Sign up form & prompt below!
Kingdom:
SO1: [Title]
SO2: [Title]
We begin with everyone's favorite event: a Royal Wedding! The heir to the throne of this kingdom has made a match, and so naturally the crown is pulling out all the stops on this one. There's nothing better to remind everyone how much richer, fancier, and more important the life of a royal is from the common masses, which must be why they all love it so much I guess. But how did our dear couple get here, first? Is it a match of passion or politics? What do the populace think of their future rulers? And most importantly, what does the dress look like?

The Kingdom of Gelan is a small island off the coast of Wales. The population is quite large for such a small island, but it certainly isn't overcrowded. The national language is English, and most inhabitants have a sort of British dialectical accent. Gelan is ruled independently by a combination of a monarchy and a democratic government, although in recent decades the royal family has become more of a symbol than anything.
Gelan's heir to the throne, Prince Charles William Theodore, or Prince Charlie as he is known to the public, has always been a key public figure in Gelan, as he is young, charming, handsome, and kind-hearted. He is adored by nearly all of Gelan, despite their mixed feelings about his father, King David. Recently Prince Charlie made international news when he wed his childhood sweetheart, the new Princess Marie Louise Sophia. Princess Marie's family is long-time acquaintances of the Royal family, and her and Charles had been destined for each other from the start. The public adore the new Royal couple, and thousands come to catch a glimpse of Marie in her beautiful lace wedding gown.

Kingdom: Ithasea
DH: Prince Daniel Lughaidh Fergus Owain (20)
DW: Princess Tera Brigit Muirgen (18)
Daniel, or Danny, as he is called by friends, family, and, well, pretty much the entire kingdom other than his father, and Tera were matched together when they were children, just 8 & 10 years old. Tera was especially opposed to it at first, before she and Danny became friends and the romance blossomed naturally...to the point where they were both counting down the days until they could actually start planning the wedding. They were married a week after Tera's 18th birthday, in a large ceremony, with hundreds of guests in attendance, from other nobles to Danny and Tera's friends from the villages outside the castle. Tera's dress was not elaborate, one of her only big requests was that she be able to walk in her wedding dress without help. It was long-sleeved, floor-length, and white, with lace adornments, but it wasn't heavy. And now they start their happily ever after.

Kingdom: Dravania
SO1: Prince Franklin Arnold Elias
SO2: Eleanore, Countess of Gemborg (born Eleanore Elizabeth Matthews)
Prince Franklin is the third child of King Dennis III and Queen Marilyn. His brother, Prince John Dennis Victor, is the heir to the throne, while his sister, Princess Sophia Marilyn Ruth, is betrothed to a royal living in Obrain. Prince Franklin had not served in the military or in any other social works.
Countess Eleanore is six years older than her new spouse. She had been previously married to the Count of Gemborg, Michael, but the man had been assassinated by an enemy two years prior. They had no children between them. She is the daughter of Sir Alvin Matthews, a politician who had been knighted by King Dennis III for his work, while her mother, Deborah, was once a socialite before she married her husband. She only has one sibling, a younger sister named Annabelle.
This marriage was not arranged, but the two were pressured by their relatives to meet and attempt to court each other. It was not an easy process; Franklin was impetuous and immature, while Eleanore was easily annoyed by anything her beau did. Nonetheless, the two agreed to marry at the insistence of kin after spending only two years together.
At the bride's request, the wedding was a private affair. Eleanore wore the same wedding dress she had worn for her wedding to Michael, with a few modifications. Only family and a few friends were permitted to attend.

Kingdom: Tyranian Empire (Tyran for short)
SO1: Archduke Adomas Leonid Emilis Nadir of Tyran
SO2: Archduchess Nur Karam Esfir Agrafena Nadezhda of Patriyya
Emilis is heir to the throne of Tyran and according to his country's customs, the search for his wife started by consulting the spiritual elders for a special ritual. The result of this elaborate ritual involving sunlight and compasses was that the archduchess was to be found southeast of Tyran. Luckily, Emilis didn't have to search for long, as Tyran's neighbouring country, the kingdom of Patriyya, had a princess his age to marry. Although the wedding was a beautiful occasion and the public is very fond of both Emilis and Esfir, neither of them are really happy. Though they can't exactly put their finger on the sore spot...

Kingdom: Kalland
SO1: Arthur Sebastian Edmund Tobias Belfour [His Royal Highness Prince Arthur of Kalland]
SO2: Caroline Alexandra Eve Kensington [Lady Caroline]
The Kingdom of Kalland is a small, gently-paced place usually left alone by the rest of the world due it being situated across several small isles several hundred of miles away from a mainland. The Monarchy is received greatly by the general masses although in recent times their grip on the running of the kingdom has softened to allow for a Prime Minister and democratic union to rule.
29-year-old Prince Arthur is the oldest child and only son of Queen Mary and Prince Edmund; his sisters, Anna and Alice are 25 and 23-years-old respectively.
24-year-old Lady Caroline grew up on the smaller, Northern island of Kalland as the only child of the Earl of Westbridge however, aged 10 she was enrolled at the boarding school on the Southern Isle where Princesses Anna and Alice attended and soon became fast friends with them both.
In his early 20s, Arthur was jealous of the freedoms his sisters took while he was hounded by his parents to find a wife and continue the royal bloodline. One evening he snuck out with Anna and Alice to attend a party instead of dining with the Princess of Sorkole as his parents had intended. At the party he's introduced to Caroline through his sisters and is taken by her immediately. Unfortunately, Lady Caroline is not sure the life of a Princess is what she wants and it takes months for Arthur to win her round to his affections.
Luckily, Queen Mary and Prince Edmund are happy with their sons choice; Caroline is young, beautiful, well educated and of blue blood - they prepared for the wedding immediately.
Arthur and Caroline appeal to the populace because of their down-to-Earth style and relatability. Despite the grandeur of the "Royal Wedding of the century", Caroline insists on some simple, personal touches - including her wedding gown which she had a hand in making: http://www.fashiongrapher.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-elegant-wedding-dress.jpg

Yay! I get to use my childhood fantasy country! lol
Kingdom: Castovia
DH [21]: Prince Alexander Louis George Morgan II of Castovia
DW [21]: Princess Emma Charlotte Olivia Morgan (nee Watson of England)
Castovia is a small island country off the coast of the United Kingdom. Like the UK, most people speak English, with British dialects, although lately there’s been an influx of French speakers. Because of its small size, everyone in Castovia has a good relationship with everybody.
Prince Alexander Louis George Morgan II, son of the soon-to-retire King Alexander I, has married his longtime lover, the new Princess Emma Charlotte Olivia Watson. Prince Alex met Emma on a trip into town as he was getting some groceries. Of course, being seventeen at the time, he couldn’t go on his first date without some hidden supervision, which he didn’t like one bit. Nonetheless, Alex and Emma’s relationship blossomed until Alex proposed at a ball given by the King.
Now, four years later, the wedding has taken place in the palace’s banquet hall. All of Castovia, both commoners and royals alike, are very happy with their new future rulers, especially because Prince Alex has picked such a kindhearted, humorous girl to be his bride. Emma’s dress was a long, sparkly yellow one with wings on the shoulders, like Belle’s in “Beauty and the Beast”. It had a long train at the tail, which her father grabbed hold of as he walked her to the Prince. The dress also came with long yellow gloves of the same fabric as the dress.

The Kingdom of Leonburg
DH [25]: Crown Prince Theodor Friedrich Bartholomäus of Leonburg
DW [18]: Crown Princess Floriana Maria Sophia of Leonburg (née Princess of Wertheim)
The bride was stunning, the groom beaming, the wedding arranged. The royal wedding in Leonburg was no exception from the common royal rule. Theodor is the only son of King Hartmund II of Leonburg and his wife the former Princess Eliana of Gotha. Floriana is the youngest child of King Alfred of Wertheim and his wife the former Princess Augusta of Steinburg. Although the young couple met for the first time at their wedding and is not in love (yet), they do respect and care about each other which is a good starting point for their young marriage. Theodor has been always popular in the kingdom and Floriana's popularity among the citizens is raising thanks to her humble nature and good heart.

Ned and Héloïse's marriage is an arranged one, and both feel Héloïse is quite young. Although they aren't in love, the royal couple do care for each other, and the public like Héloïse's kind, down-to-earth manner. Ned is the oldest of 5, heir to the throne of Britain, while Héloïse is the second-youngest daughter of the (hypothetical) King of France. Her 14-year-old sister, Marie, is very excited to come to the wedding, and delighted in helping to arrange her beautiful older sister's hair and dress.
Setting: Britain, 1850

DH [24] Prince Henry Alexandrius Dante Bowen
SO2 [23] Princess Alianovna Katya Bowen
Henry and Alianovna are a match made in heaven - or by Alia’s parents. The Russian princess did not particularly want to marry Henry, though she’s resigned to the idea now. She’s sure she’ll grow to love him, though she hopes it’s sooner rather than later. So far, Henry’s subjects seem to like Alia, as she is a friendly sort and likes to make others happy.
This looks like a lot of fun!
