Presidential Hopefuls for June 5th

This month’s CP elections will prove to be both interesting and exciting, and many eUS citizens are eagerly looking forward to entering the voting booths on June 5th to cast a vote for their candidate of choice. Three front-runners have emerged. Trekker has made his intentions known: he is seeking his third consecutive term as CP/D of the eUS. SColbert, former SoH and current VP has also announced his intentions of running for CP. A third candidate, Greeling, has also announced his intentions. Primaries should be occurring across all Top 10 parties currently, and the results of these primaries will most likely be determined within the next 2 days.

Remember, voting opens for 24 hours on June 5th, starting at 0:00 Erepublik time. Every citizen is encouraged to GOTV and come to the polls!

Presidential Wedding
Tom Cauchon, Secretary of Media

I remember when President Trekker first made the announcement that he was going to be eMarried to BeachBunny. I’ve never been a fan of this eWedding stuff. I almost felt a bit weird about the whole thing. But then Trekker said something that really made the whole things a bit different. He acknowledged that the whole thing was a bit silly and ridiculous and that it was ok to feel that way about it. But, he added, the world could use some more silliness and ridiculousness. And I couldn’t agree more.
Note the change in Avatar of our CP/D and his eBride

After being unsure of whether I would be able to attend the ceremony, I caught a lucky break in RL and was able to atten. Aramec and Blande did an excellent job organizing the event on May 30th, and the ceremony was quite frankly, beautiful.

President Trekker and BeachBunny chose to write their own vows, and they were simply stunning. BeachBunny prepared a beautiful slideshow set to Christina Perri’s hit song “A Thousand Years” which moved some of the audience to tears. President Trekker prepared a short, yet beautiful, piece that paid tribute to those things that cannot be described using words, including his love for BeachBunny.

The eWedding concluded with everyone heading to the open bar and the afterparty for some adult beverages.

If you missed the Presidential Wedding, read BeachBunny’s article for coverage, including a copy of the IRC transcript: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2527599/1/20
