As it turned out, the lantern path was important in the end; it connected Eiden's house with the whole herd to the path where the ceremonies always took place. Kind of like a ceremonial center.

From my window I could see how some men were erecting a big tent near the center of the herd; there were even women coming and going with a lot of arrangements that only made me a little more nervous. I had never imagined that my wedding could be such a big fuss. The idea that I would marry practically a prince had never crossed my mind, much less that I would fall in love
