Personal Memories
I have three very clear "snapshot" memories from the Investiture Ceremony:
- The Prince's guard are (almost?) all women. As they processed in, they thumped their spears on the floor. (I remember thinking to myself "Please don't dent the floor, we want to use this hall again. Please don't dent the floor...")
- The resounding cheering when Ulf announced Princess Amanda to the populace. The rafters rocked.
- The size of Amanda's retinue: It's very big and she has included folks from all over the principality. (Smart lady -- no matter where she goes in the Principality, she'll have local folks as retinue.) Her Highness has Heavy Guard, a Rapier Guard, an Archery Guard and an Arts and Sciences Guard (who no doubt will throw themselves between Their Highnesses and any occurances of polyester+). I have no doubt that the 'royal education' of a future prince or princess of Tir Righ was begun by becoming one of Her Highness's attendants.
Oh my goodness, the banquet food was TERRIFIC. The candied mint leaves and rose petals were divine.
We made just a touch over $500 on the dessert auction for the Principality.
+ "...occurances of polyester" Sunjan is on the A&S Guard, it's her line. I stole it.
