| I laughed through the beginning of this chapter where Elrond, Glorfindel and Erestor discussed the plight of elvish grooms. Erestor in pink? Oh my. Mirdan's muted sadness was touching, as were Elrond's feelings of abandonment. The way you wrote Celebrian she seemed just the sort of warmth he needed, but then as Jay pointed out, it gave a twinge to read her declare that when they were married he would never be alone again. Very nice. ~TF | |

| As someone whose son recently announced he is getting married in March, I read this with interest. Thank goodness my main responsibility appears to be to show up, wear what I'm told, and keep my mouth shut. I can do that! But I sympathize with Elrond. The marriage customes of LACE assume a much more stable world than the one he inhabits. You can see that even in the smith who made the rings. Luckily for Elrond, he and Celebrian love one another and that will outweigh everything you have planned for them. I think! | |

| I wasn't sure that I was going to like this as I tend to prefer fellowship stories but I am always intrigued by Elrond & you have me hooked! My heart goes out to Elrond - to stand alone without close family is lonely at best and knowing what happens to Celebrian as we do is so sad. More soon please! | |

| My, this brings back memories. The planning. The details. The careful courtesies so as not to upset anyone. I remember it all well. And as of next Tuesday, I will have been married for exactly 25 years. I feel for Elrond here. It's not just the petty details, it's the important things like who should stand by him - he's lost so many who are close, he's bound to think of them all. Elros, Gil-Galad, Maglor - all would have been good substitutes for Earendil. Particularly sad is Celebrķan's observation that they will soon be married, and then Elrond will not be alone again. That's yet another loss he'll have to face :( Good story so far. Jay | |
