You take her hand, and lead her through the woods. She walks silently, barefoot on the damp earth. She walks with a grace that is both feral and human.
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
You don't give the obvious answer. You take a step back, examining her naked body in the silvery moonlight. What you tell her, is straight from the depths of your heart.
"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
She smiles, and your heart races.
"I love you." You whisper.
She looks at you, and her eyes are full of wonder.
"Will you take an oath to me, under the moon?" You ask.
"I will."
You touch her cheek, and kiss her. You lean forward, and kiss her, gently. She moans, and you feel her hands on your back, caressing your spine.
"I swear my life to yours, NAME_1. Before the Moon, before the spirits. Until death parts us." You say.
She smiles, and you can hear the joy in her voice.
"I swear to you, NAME_2." She says. “Until death.”
You kiss her, this time as your mate. As your wife.
And you set out, together, into the night.
The full moon blesses you, and blesses your union
