Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann, Duchess of Norfolk Territory

Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard, Duchess of Norfolk Territory and Marchioness of Pembroke Territory

Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell never dreamed that one day she would marry into one of the most prestigious and noble families on Star Base 12.

On February, 1, 2275, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell dressed in a Regency style wedding dress and wearing Juliet wedding veil and carrying a bouquet of white roses with jasmine stepped into the Howard carriage that would carry her future sister in laws and her to Norfolk Estate  to marry their youngest brother, Lord Andrew Charles Howard in the chapel at Norfolk Estate.

Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell was about to marry into one of the most powerful aristocratic families on Star Base 12, but she wouldn’t let that change her and how she thought.

Lady Karissa would let Lord Andrew Charles Howard manage and govern Norfolk Territory and despite her telling him many times seeing and wanting are two different things it didn’t curtail him from wanting to become the next Duke of Norfolk Territory.

The Howard carriage carrying Lady Patricia and Lady Charlotte Augusta with Lady Karissa to Norfolk Estate and chapel would be the last time the chapel of Norfolk Estate would be used because thereafter all the family's weddings and funerals would be held in the chapel at Beltane Manor.

The Howard carriage was going towards Norfolk Estate and was escorted by Lord Charles Andrew Howard III , Lord Patrick William Howard II, Lord Richard Edward Howard II, Lord Frederick William Howard III and Lord Thomas William Howard. They made sure the carriage would reach Norfolk Estate.

People lined the streets of Norfolk Territory to see the bride of Lord Andrew Charles Howard with her ladies.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard with Lord Richard William Carey and Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR waited  at Norfolk Estate for the Howard carriage to arrive.

When Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR saw the entourage arrive he smiled with his youngest son and Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory was given the honor to escort the bride up the aisle as senior Duke on Star Base 12 next to Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR.

Lord Richard William Carey walks over to the carriage and Lady Karissa his hand to step out of the carriage “ I have been given the honor to escort you up the aisle to marry my cousin.” Lord Richard William Carey tells Lady Karissa.

“For the love of the Goddess, why are you marrying him?” Lord Richard William Carey asks her.

“I made him a promise and I will keep it.’ Lady Karissa tells Lord Richard William.

“I beseech you to hold onto our dreams and one day they come true but I don’t when.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I will wait for you forever.’ Lord Richard William Carey  tells her.

“Forever is a long time.” Lady Karissa tells him, “ I beseech you to be patient.” 

Lord Richard William Carey escorts Lady Karissa up the aisle to marry his first cousin twice once removed and he takes his seat next to the rest of his family.

Lord Richard William Carey watches his cousin, Lord Andrew Charles Howard marry Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell and he watches them kiss and it makes his blood boil and from the day he starts to plan his downfall with his two other cousins, Lord Frederick William Howard III and Lord Thomas William Howard.

Lord Frederick William tells his cousin “Listen Lord Richard. Abide your time. He will mess up and he will end up losing her.” 

“Right now he is basking in his glory, but it will be short-lived.” Lord Thomas William tells his  cousin, Lord Richard William Carey.

All three stand together watching their cousin marry Lady Karissa on February 1, 2275 and even his own oldest brother, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III envies his brother when he marries Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard III is in love with his sister in law, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard has done the impossible and with Lady Karissa he gives his grandfather, Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR his first great-grandchild that ensured him the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR doesn’t have to worry about watching his youngest consummate his marriage as he already has with his first grandchild on her way.

Lord Andrew Charles and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann still consummate their marriage after their wedding but they wait to take their honey-moon after their child’s birth in May of 2275 and after their coronation in June of 2275.

Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard nee Lowell becomes the first lady on Star Base 12 and within two territories Norfolk and Bedford Territory.
