Yesterday, Melkin and Issele Antross celebrated the first anniversary of their marriage by renewing their vows in a small ceremony led by Karpasso F. Tong in Riva Dorata, Corellia, and surrounded by their closest friends, relatives and acquaintances.

The ceremony was part of a party in the local cantina, and CorSec was present in force. Not surprising - cynics would say that with so many former and suspected current criminals attending, the rest of the planet or even the sector would lacking enough of an underworld to jaywalk even.

Despite the audience’s colorful past and clothes (and probably due to the numerous CorSec personell present), the ceremony itself went off without a hitch, the married couple exchanging declarations of love and their vows in an outdoor pavilion in front of the local cantina.

The ceremony was topped off with a firework display by rodian businessman and rumored droid engineer Tooblee.



The fact that the marriage between Melkin and Issele held for one year was, as Melkin himself commented, a surprise for many, probably including the happy couple itself. Many expected that, given Melkin’s and Issele’s various risky pasttimes and occupations, death to have parted them long ago. A not much smaller number would have expected a divorce for reasons we won’t go into here.

Melkin and Issele however proved both groups of sceptics wrong, as demonstrated last night, and hopefully will inspire others to follow their example and marry their love.
