Summary
Qui-Gon was trembling. Obi-Wan had a beautiful singing voice, he knew that. He’d often heard him singing when the young man thought no one was paying attention. Yet tonight there was a vibrant resonance to his voice, as though he was guided by the Force itself. Qui-Gon felt such love that he thought his heart might burst. Was Obi-Wan meant to be his Shabbat bride? In a heartbeat, Qui-Gon understood why no Eretzi would willingly give this up. He felt the serenity that he often felt in the Jedi temple, but it was mixed with love and desire. To know that one could feel like this every week was more than he could imagine. Obi-Wan’s force signature glowed gold beside him and the purity of it made Qui-Gon weep. He’d been waiting so long for a sign from the Force. Qui-Gon looked down at his prayer book and was startled to find a silvery white rose tucked in the pages. It was one of the ones that he and Obi-Wan had admired in the garden. This was it. Tonight, he would offer himself and his love.
A mission to the planet of Eretz brings Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan closer together. They discover that they may be destined for a different path than they thought. Now with art by Amethyst Thorne!

Summary
“My friends, you are now a part of our people. I am overjoyed that you have made this decision and I know that we as a people will be strengthened by your wisdom and talent. I will bless you both with the ancient priestly blessing. Yivarechecha Adonai viyishmireacha. May God bless you and guard you. Ya’er Adonai panav elecha veechuneka. May God shine God’s countenance upon you and be gracious to you. Yeesa Adonai panav elecha viyasem lecha shalom. May God shine God’s countenance upon you and grant you peace.”
As Rav Noach finished chanting, the entire congregation erupted in cheers and singing. Their friends stood in the front row with tears in their eyes. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan returned to their seats, and before long, it was time to sing L’cha Dodi. As they had months before, they rose to welcome the Shabbat bride, mindful of the blessings this night had already brought them. With one voice this time, they sang. Enter in peace, crown of your husband; enter in gladness, enter in joy.
Seven months after their first trip to Eretz, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are ready to undergo conversion and be an Eretzi family, with the full support of their friends.
