The littlest Mercotan, who once posted here as Eowyn the Mercotan is now wed, to a fine fellow with enough nerdiness in him to fit in comfortably.
The altar was decorated with the Two Trees, Laurelin the gold, and Telperion the silver. Genuine trees, leafless but sprayed gold and silver. Each were lit with appropriate colors. Each table at the reception had a cutting from Telperion on the table.
One bridesman carried a sword instead of a bouquet. The ushers pledged the couple their sword, ax, and bow respectively.
The bride wore a headpiece similar to Galadriel’s. The gown was white, but with a black lacy basque overlay.
The wedding cake bore the inscription from the one ring, binding them in the dark when it was fearless, before the Dark Lord came from Outside.
At the reception, Elf wigs and ears, Dwarf wigs and beards, axes, swords, and bows and a wizard hat and staff were available for wearing/wielding and having one’s photo taken with; this proved amazingly popular, generating hundreds of photos. Mrs. Mercotan looks quite hot in long, flowing red hair. The beard however, did not suit her, IMHO.
Elder daughter elfbabe looked strikingly elvish as Matron of Honor, and shone like the light from a Silmaril.
And the bride outshone Elbereth herself! White glittering, sparkling like a jewel, the glory of the starry host!
And the people sang in all the ways of the ballroom.
