Editing PERSONAL NOTES:The Family (section)

===Year of the Sun 1235 Bounty 19===
The wedding was beautiful. Waseem was so handsome in his ceremonial garb and Zaina was a vision. I had found a very fine bolt of elven cloth in a pale cream color some time ago that I had given to her family. It was made into the most amazing gown for her. It flowed over her in the most suggestive way. I could see the gleam in Waseem’s eyes when he looked at her. It gladdened my heart that one of us would be happy soon. Hakem had chosen well for his son. (A small fragment of the material for Zaina’s dress is included here; it is a sheer, gossamer fabric)

I reveled in the day, enjoying being around the Family again. I couldn’t get too comfortable with anyone though. Zafar was never far from me. He said he was afraid I would be lured away by the fame of the Al’Hamzah men. I laughed and told him nothing could take my attention from him.

At the end of the night I told him I needed to rest privately at my home. I told him it is elven tradition to have at time of reflection upon giving up a phase of their lives. Since I was giving up my bardic ways to be with him he has to honor this request for me. He reluctantly agreed but insisted on escorting me to my home. I left him at the door. I know my apartments will be watched tonight, but I had to have this one last night to myself.
