I was in the very early days of vigils for non-knights. The vigil itself was nice, but chaotic. Someone who'd voted against me came and told me so, which is fine. But they also kept going and going for over an hour, arguing with me and carrying on. And there was a book for people to write things in so I would actually remember, but it never got to me.
The coolest thing that happened was Duke Dagan's impromptu standing and speechifying about me. I cried. Especially since I didn't really know him and he was attesting to what his friends had told him about me. *sob* There was also some chaos. My laurel wasn't present at either the vigilling or the elevation; no clue why she wasn't at the vigilling, but the Prince (also the knight who was to speak for me) was hurt and she was doctoring him. So another laurel begged and another knight spoke. I was surprised.
