Lyta Padfoot · 5 February 2004 · Chapter 1: Making Preparations
I suspect this ISN'T the comedic wedding story ;) I was rather surprised to see this one pop up, thought it'd be a while until you debuted it. There are times its nice to be mistaken in assumptions. Sam and Rose should have known better than to name their children after Merry and Pippin. Same applies to Diamond and Peregrin. Young Merry Took (all these Merrys! Could Merry Took's name be spelled Merri or Meri to save on reader confusion?) should be interesting, you've not dealt with him to the extent of Faramir. Can't wait to see what will go awry at the wedding!

Ummm. Well, I won't disillusion you. Keep your frown in place and watch for angst... ;) Well this does come first on the timeline and I meant to post it first but it wouldn't write itself so I put it away, promising to start posting when the fifth chapter was safely written. In the meantime, "Solid Ground" had been bugging me and so I started posting *that*. Wouldn't you know that something in "Merrys" broke loose as a result? The pieces have fallen into place and the story is merrily writing itself. I had originally spelled Merry Took's name "Meri" and might go back to that, haven't decided yet. Thanks for reviewing!
