Rejoined in full are both the family and the moon.
Is this all right for you?

: rejoined in full sounds a bit odd, since it has connotations with 'payment in full'...rejoined sounds technical, as if you have fixed something that is broken...//'Family reunion under the full moon' is nice.

"Family" is usaually a good substitute for . But in the case of two young lovers eloping to far away places, family does not seem to be the right word.
