Nuptia

"Honored Tenno, I am the Lotus. We are here today to honor a most sacred bond; Nuptia. Nuptia, as a tradition of union, has survived times of strife and war.." "Nuptia is the union of two, and each Nuptia is unique." - the Lotus

Nuptia, also referred to as a wedding, is a ceremony celebrating the committed union of two tenno for life.

During Nuptia, the two tenno will walk onto a stage where they will conduct the ritual. After bowing to their gathered friends, and to each other, the rituals conductor will give an opening speech acknowledging the union. Afterward, the first tenno will recite their vows, and they both walk together around their stage. When the first tenno has finished their vows, the second tenno responds with vows of their own, and again they walk together around the stage. When both vows have been recited, the two tenno say in unison, "Before all gathered here, this I vow". They bow to each other and their audience again, before thanking them for coming, which completes the ceremony.

It is also customary after the ritual that the tenno in company celebrate, usually by bowing, jumping, running in circles, and an afterparty.

In a historic moment, the Lotus conducted one of these ceremonies herself. This Nuptia was between Niti and Eli of the clan Midgard. The event was broadcast to tenno far and wide. This event was so important to the tenno that Tyl Regor attempted to invade and prevent it from occurring. The lights went down for a moment, and when the broadcast could be seen again, Tyl Regor and his invading forces were nowhere to be seen. What exactly happened while the lights were down is unknown. After the afterparty, the two enjoyed the rest of their day in Caracol on Saturn, hunting infested together.
