Selrunian Chicken Weddings

The Selrunian practice of chicken weddings has, in recent centuries, become wildly common in the Kingdom.

The chicken wedding originates as provincial workaround for harsh Selrunian marriage laws, in which all pairings have to be approved directly by the crown. In response to the always-slow and often-indefinite approval process, the working folk of Selrune established a practice of hosting a "wedding" between chickens from the households of each half of the marrying pair. This charade allows for the couple to be unofficially paired, accepted by their respective families and community and to celebrate their nuptials.

Chicken weddings are characterized not only by the presence of a pair of hens dressed in wedding garb, but a great feast that always features the eponymous dish of Selrunian Chicken Wedding Soup, a zesty mixture of vegetables and meat in a creamy broth.
