Wise men usually had such honor. I'll have to post more for him to bring out the "wise man" side of him, though "wizard" sort of does that anyway.

How 'bout before the dancing and riddling. What if right after they ceremony (I'm calling it that for conveniences sake - I've no idea if it will be called that in the story), in the mad dash through the blinding grain, Eodwine and Saeryn run to where Leof has their horses. They mount, and then someone shouts, "To your horses everyone!" And everyone runs to a horse and leaps on (bareback?) Eodwine and Saeryn should share a mount. This way, their horse will be slowed. But they'll have a head start, and everyone else will be bareback, which may make things more chaotic and fun, and maybe make some of them less capable of riding quickly? Anyway, the goal is to catch them and bring them back for their feast and the rest of the evening festivities.

What d'ye think of that? It was just an idea that popped into my head when you said your bit, Elempi - we don't have to do it by any means.

Perfect!
