Maxell Snow and I: Part two

Max had many responsibilities as mayor of Eden’s Grief, but with those responsibilities came some nice distractions form his daily grind. Max has many friends, and one day one of these friends asked Max to officiate at his wedding and perform the ceremony. Max asked me if I would accompany him to the wedding and stand with him as he performed the ceremony. I told him I would love to go, I had never been to a wedding before, so I was excited to say the least. The wedding took place at the Lake Retreat on Naboo. Max and I were met at the shuttle by the groom and his bride and shown to a tailor that had made up special wedding apparel just for the occasion. Max was given a wonderful suit befitting a king; I was given a gown made for a queen. I was introduced to so many people that day, and had a wonderful time just chatting with everyone before the wedding; both Max and I received many compliments on our dress. The ceremony was incredible, and all went without a hitch, Max did a fantastic job.

Congratulations for the new bride and groom were mostly finished and all were invited to the cantina for the reception, the groom spoke up to those gathered and announced that Max wanted to address everyone. I was pretty much oblivious to what was going on at the time, still enjoying the festive and happy mood from the wedding, I was standing beside Max when he glanced in my direction then turned to face me. He looked into my eyes and started talking, not addressing the people around us, but to me. He spoke of our time together, how we had fought together side by side, how we loved each other, how when we were together we were as one. As he spoke, my eyes misted, I knew what was coming, I was keenly aware of all the eyes on Max and I. He dropped to one knee, took my hand in his and looking into my tear filled eyes, and asked if I would be his wife. My heart burst at that moment, I was so filled with joy! I took his hand in mine and pulled him up, close to me, and in an almost inaudible voice said “Yes, of course” The crown cheered almost with more enthusiasm for us then for the original bride and groom. We held each other for a long moment, then bounded up the steps to the cantina to party the rest of the night away.

Max and I were married not long after that day. The wedding was held in Eden’s Grief, with the ceremony done by a very good friend of Max and I, Kasek Zon. The Guild EGO granted us permission to use their hall for the wedding and they did a awe inspiring job getting it ready. My girlfriend Elizabeta made my wedding gown and all the bridesmaids gowns, and I have to say we all looked incredible! We had lot of friends come from all over the galaxy attend, some from as far away as the wanderhome and Bria sectors. The wedding went without any big problems, and the reception was a blast!.

I own a house in EG, next to my former guild, max didn’t waste any time moving in *smile*, he set up an office in one of the lower rooms for conducting city business out of. We both were so happy, spending time all of our time together. Soon though, the honeymoon was over, it was time to get back to business. Max, was in constant demand as mayor, and had to spend more and more time away. I was being called away to due contract hunts and tracking missions.
Max and I found time together becoming less and less. When Max and I would get brief moments, we seemed to spend it more and more discussing our work rather then just enjoying our time together, we would get into arguments over silly things. Edens grief was going through some tough times back then, and and looking back to those times, I think poor Max was just overwhelmed by all the maneuvering going on that he just couldn’t separate his work form his home life. I was also having the same thing happen to me, with orders to find special meats and hides, and an ungodly amount of requests to go to Tatooine to track wild boars and moisture farmers for some unknown reason. All of this being separated was having undesirable effects on both of us. Max, when not having to fight with the citizens of EG, was spending more and more time in the cantinas. I would come back from the wild to find him either drunk, or flirting with the dancers, and more arguing would ensue. Even I was not immune to being separated from Max, and found comfort with some of the company I was with, while on extended hunting trips, but I never went any further then flirting, I mostly needed the companionship of good friends during these time. Max on the other hand had an affair with a certain woman, who’s name I will not mention. Though all of this upset me, I really could understand the reason’s behind the actions. That’s not to say at times I didn’t want to shoot somebody.

I sat down with Max one night and we both decided that it was in our best interest to part, and go our separate ways. We both knew that we couldn’t go on with the way things were. Max and I have since become much better friends then we were as a couple, and we still go out of each others way to help each other. Max is now happly in love with a beautiful woman named scarlet, they are very happy together. Me? I’m still out in the wild searching for the good meat and hides, tracking stupid boars and moisture farmers.
A lot has happened in both our lives since we parted, some very happy, some very scary, but all of it exciting. Did I mention we had a son? This will be something I’ll need to put pen to paper on in the future.
