Best memory.
To be brief.
After the conversation with Dorian in which he found out that some special measures are taking into consideration for what concerns Weddings of young people, like in his case, he and Dorian got an appointment to Anthony to discuss the matter with him.
Choi explained the King that he must go to join the fights in the East, to honor his ancestors and to carry on what his father and brothers died trying to achieve: a better East of equality and honor; in other words, restore it to what it was, before it got ruined by a long list of dreadful rulers.
He knows there are serious possibilities that he will lose his life in the battles and the idea of "abandoning" his beloved Scheireen like that, without having the chance to leave anything concrete to her, dreaded him beyond belief and it's the only thing that kept him so hesitant for these months, regarding joining the fight.
After also having some private words with Dorian, who clearly was fully willing to guarantee for the young man, the King granted his authorization to he and Scheireen to get married despite she is just 16 and not yet 21. In cases in which one of the two might soon face death for whatever serious circumstances (with the exception of a legal execution), the King can grant underage people to get married, as long as:
1 The youngest of the two is 16 or older;
2 The oldest of the two is not older than 26;
3 Parents of the youngest one grant their blessings. (The only hard part, in other words.)
Knowing he has a chance to marry her before leaving for the battlefield gives Choi a huge motivation. Received the King's authorization, he doesn't wait a minute to go to /beg/ Shi's parents. Starting with Edward.
No, Edward doesn't kill him on sight, prepared to what he is going to ask him. He possibly would, if he was free, but of course he can not. Not just it doesn't exist one single possible reason in the world to not give Shi to Choi, it's also clearly the Gods' will and he can't go against it. Even if in truth, he is pretty jealous of his daughters, especially Scheireen. After a long number of promises Choi made to him, Edward indeed gave his blessings. The real problem there would be Shelly, and everyone knew.
He tries in every possible way to convince her he would never harm Shi, that he'd rather die, that they can kill him if he does the slightest wrong to her, but nothing worked. She didn't want to hear reason, to her it was a NO. Luckily enough, Sao was around. He tells Choi to go to propose to Shi and speaks privately to Xiu. Even he can't deny that this marriage is a good idea. It will motivate Choi to fight and survive and he is the best party she could possibly find. If everything will go as planned, Choi will become Emperor, thus Shi would be Empress. And she surely will never have another possible chance to be Queen anywhere else. Not to mention that if she forbid the wedding and Choi died, Shi's life would be ruined forever and she'd blame herself for it. In the end, Sao manages to open Xiu's eyes and even if she still doesn't fully approve and looks displeased and grumpy (the fact that Sid was sent to fight in the East a few days before doesn't help improve her mood), but she won't say anything else. She will never trust Choi. -She thinks.-
Since Choi will have to leave in three days, the wedding has to be organized very hastly and quickly, for the next day, so there is not the time for huge massive parties and such.
In the end, it turns out to be a very discrete and small thing just for the close relatives. How Edward likes it.
Ceremony at the Temple, celebrated by Priestess of Dessa and Zimkesha and Priest of Fiared and Morgan. Afterwards, a very small party. Even though this won't be RPed, family and friends were invited to participate, and in the end it turned out to be a rather nice wedding, despite very humble for the standards of High Nobility.
Murphy and Khai best men for Choi, Tomiel and Dexter for Shi. The whole thing took place in the evening and lasted till late night. Everything is done in Northern style 100%, including the couple's outfits. {When Choi will be Emperor, they will celebrate a second Wedding, in big style.}
The young couple will spend their first days as wife and husband -yes, including wedding night- by Edward's mansion, until Choi will have to leave for the East.
