CHAPTER THREE
"I couldn't help myself..." she blushed. "I had to admire my glamorous wedding gown once more. The seamstress did an amazing job!" ARANHA was so happy, she was on cloud nine and she seemed as if nothing and no one could bring her down off of it. "And you're right father, I shouldn't keep my wedding guest and my future husband waiting, let's begin." ARANHA requested, she chuckled slightly like a girlish bride.
em look At last it was time for the bride to be escorted down the Aisle by her father. A harpist and flute player played a beautiful melody of "Here Comes the Bride" a congregation of one hundred spiders dressed in their most elegant wear stood in honor of the bride. Both male and female spider displayed the most hauntingly beautiful spider's mark and as the spiders turned toward the right to watch the most beautiful spider enter the sanctuary and walk down the Aisle on the arms of her father to meet and then marry her groom the spider's index spider fang teeth caused them to hold their mouth closed in a unusual way as if they were pressing their top lip down over their bottom lip slightly. It made them look strange.
The spider's index spider fang teeth are a perfect and gleaming pearly-white, they are short and sharp as a tac on end. The wedding ceremony ended and the bride and the groom, and their wedding court exited Devonian Temple. The moment ARANHA and Pisces stepped outside the doors of the Temple everyone showered the happy couple with rice; we hugged and kissed and cried tears of joy and in between congratulated the two most beautiful creatures in Nor Marie. Afterwards, everyone moved outside onto the front garden and the wedding reception begin. We chatted, laughed, drink wine and then partaked of the lovely feast of vegetables and fruits displayed on the buffet table, and then there was more talk, wine, feasting and dancing.
At last, it was time to taste the tall, three tier wedding cake. The cake was designed in the shape of a marvelous tower with edible silver-grey candy pearls in a line on all sides of the cake and mini garden baskets made out of cake placed neat around the wedding cake in a circle, table set style. When the time came for the bride and groom to leave the wedding party everyone hugged and kissed and bid them farewell. We showered the couple with more rice and they drove off to a week of honeymooning. Gaily, we returned to the reception in the front garden for there was more feasting and drinking to be had. We drank and danced to both fast and slow romantic music, and then, we feasted and drink and danced some more. We danced late into the night until early morning. At night our spider eyes glow light wolves.
Exhausted from all the lively dancing we had done and drunken from the numerous amounts of wine we drank- our bodies smelt like the scent of perfume and wine mixed together. Our eyes had become hazy and they danced inside our heads. We were too wasted to return to our homes, so we did the thing that a spider would do- considering the fact that we are spiders ourselves- we used the signaling-snare technique of a web without spinning a web at all. Together, we built a two hundred decorated web across the garden of Devonian Temple that reached three inches off the ground. Our movement was swift and funny like a sort of awkward side ways move- creepy. We even built a safety drop line in case we fell in the process of building the web.
We each lay stretched out on the center of the web spread out from one another and we rested. Luckily when we rose from our drunken slumber we were only half hung over and in haste we tore down the signaling-snare technique of the web we built the night before, and haven'y anything to say to one another we proceeded to home without as much as a glance over our shoulders. The instant we reached our destination, home, we bathed and dressed and combed our hair, ate a vegetarian breakfast from the breakfast buffet and then drank vegetable juice. Our sullen moods changed to that of brightness and we were sociable once again.
Anansi is AKAN and means, simply, spider.
