I had something to say about the conversation between Galadriel and Celebrian but I seem to have forgotten what it was.

Author Reply: Oh, and here I thought that mother-daughter moment was one of the better parts of the chapter. Well, I suppose some of the later events were a little distracting...

A beautifully written day. :-) The description were very vivid.

Author Reply: LOL, thanks Karri.

So...how many times did you have to run out into the snow while writing that? I missed reviewing the first chapter, but I enjoyed it. Boy, have I mentioned lately that I love Glorfindel? Since you've got dibs on Elrond, perhaps I can put in a bid for the blond guy?

This was a sweet chapter. The wedding was beautiful! I could see it! I had to cover my eyes for the wedding night, but it was great...I'm told. I didn't peek...much. Very well done. Sweet, intimate and...well, a snow melter.

In fact, I think I'll go read it again. Are you sure there's only one more chapter? I think you're good for several more. :>)

Really!!! enjoyed both chapters.

Btw, the Ray's dog has a friend...Danielle Spaniel. I had to beat her off with a Milkbone to keep her from reviewing this. Bad dog.

Nononononono!

I want a review from the dog, really!

Glad you liked it, and yes, cold showers are very very helpful. Have I ever mentioned I want to be Celebrian?

Lovely chapter! It takes a good writer to write a love scene. I love the ending with Elrond and Celebrian not showing till lunch. They deserve it though. I also like Cirdan. I always wondered how Cirdan would have reacted to Celebrian and the twins and it's entertaining to see that he is still gruff on the outside but loving on the inside. He is such a great mentor. I wonder why he has a beard though...

On the other hand, relating to reviews. To make a long story short, I basically switched over to Stories of Arda when you made it. But I didn't know that you didn't have to have a profile to review. So I have read all of your stories, I just didn't know how to review. I didn't make a profile because I don't write stories. But I finally figured out how to review and so it's fine. I didn't leave any review at FF.net because it seemed as though you didn't update there as often. But I got it figured out now.

I can't wait for the ending! Will we see the begining of elfings or is that too soon?

Author Reply: Lovely chapter! It takes a good writer to write a love scene.

I am glad you liked it. I don't write many love scenes and never this graphic, so I admit to being a little nervous about posting it.

Reviews are always appreciated, but never required, but I am glad you have found your way around SoA now.

I will leave you in suspense until tomorrow :D

Celebrian seems very relaxed for a bride on her wedding day. No emergencies, no suddenly missing objects, no last-minute meltdowns. I guess that's what happens when you have Lady Galadriel herself planning the wedding. Everything goes according to plan. Or else.

And you did have Cirdan standing in for Earendil! I remember that you had mentioned something about that, and I was glad to see him there. I love how Celebrian takes advantage of being princess for a day and pets his beard. You know Cirdan likes it. He wouldn't keep the beard if he didn't like curious young elves petting it.

That was a lovely wedding, though rather calmer than the one I imagined.

Author Reply: I figured if you put Galadriel in charge of anything, it will go off without a hitch merely because she willed it to be so. I admit I also enjoy writing her as a mother, however - making Celebrian's day wonderful for her.

I had picked Cirdan back in HLII, which made sense in my world, since he and Gil-galad has raised Elrond and Elros. I did think about Glorfindel though, too. Glorfindel is, btw, a wonderful character. He shows up for these great moments and then disappears when he is not needed. I think perhaps he stood guard outside their door with sword drawn, ensuring no one bothered them.

They needed a calm wedding to prepare for the night :D

I want Elrond to make love to me like that!

Nice chapter, Nilmandra. They're joined body and soul, and the sex is much more intense because of the control they exert and the depth of relationship they bring.

Hehe - no way, this is my fantasy!
