Aethosii royal weddings are momentous occasions that only happen once in a blue moon. The royal Aethos wedding of Emperor Grey Aurelian Virlana and Princess Lyra Nesryn-Evara Emberlyn Asparii would be the first ever Aethos royal wedding. Before the wedding a council came together to translate and combine the wedding customs of Tellia and Verena, Aethos predecessor states.

==== Rings ====
Wedding bands & rings, with the exceptions of a brides engagement ring, are specially custom made with the use of 24 carat gold procured from the Ardarris river in a process that takes years for the gold to be aged and prepared. Most Aethosii wedding engagement rings are made of white diamond with the exception of a few special cases. The white diamond signifies light and a bright future to the bride.
==== Wedding Flowers ====
The traditional wedding bouquet combo is azure bluets, blue orchids, and a choice of white tulip or lily of the valley. It's a custom for the bride and her mother to travel to a special garden of the brides choice to hand pick the flowers for the wedding bouquets. Houstonia caerulea, the formal name for azure bluets are said to symbolize humility and faith while blue orchids symbolize uniqueness and hope and the two white flower options symbolize new beginnings and renewal. The flower picking traditions are said to be tied back to the beginning of the Asparii family and are more recently now a tradition of the Virlanas.
