| I love seeing Frodo happy! Yes, he should have known better than to ask an Elf for advice. :) But I think the gilt will look nice too and I envy Legolas being there to watch it all. Wish I could have been there myself. And it's interesting that he knows Rosie is pregnant again. Cute that he had trouble surrendering Elanor and even cuter that Gimli wanted to hold her. Ah, love! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Matters are going very well! I only hope it continues, for Rosamunda will not be impressed if some disaster comes between her and the wedding of the century. I agree with Legolas that watching an expert at work is fascinating. Author Reply: By all means we must keep Rosamunda placated! LOL! I was of two minds about having him watch, but it just seemed to me like something he'd enjoy, on two levels--seeing his friend healed and able to enjoy such an activity once more, and then the interest in watching how he did it. I'm sure that he found mortal art very interesting and *different* from Elven. And I decided that in at least one respect, Frodo was like me, in not minding someone watch him work--as long as they are quiet, it never bothers me. | |

| Well, I should probably feel sorry for Merry, but still, the nightmare was rather funny. But what can one expect, particularly with Rosamunda as mother of the bride? I’m sure Frodo made the contract a piece of art – or maybe I should say you made it, as I’ve seen your pictures at the Challenge site. It was truly beautiful done! I would never be able to do anything like that. Need I to tell you how much I enjoy it to know Frodo was there and able to write the contract at all? There’s something to say for happy AU’s! Though I suspect he needs a guard on the clock, to keep it safe from Pippin *grin* Can’t wait for the wedding! Author Reply: It was rather funny, wasn't it? But that's just the sort of embarrassing dream that I think would follow such circumstances, LOL! Yes, I will be putting a link here, at the end as well. I have to say, I sort of think Frodo would have done a better job than I did, actually. And you might be surprised--if you learn the techniques of *how* to do something, you can learn to come up with some pretty nice results! At least, that's what I have always insisted to my own calligraphy students! I too am pleased to give Frodo this chance. For the completion of his overarching theme of sacrifice, JRRT had to let Frodo lose at least his life in the Shire. But we don't--we can just concentrate on making the hobbits happy! *grin* The wedding will be coming very soon! | |

| So perfect! And love the reminder of everything poor Pippin has managed to take apart over the years, and especially the mantel clock! You know that has meaning for me! Heh! Author Reply: *grin* Yes, indeed! Poor Pip--he'll never live some of that down as long as there are older cousins to remind him, LOL! | |

| Now you've got my curiosity piqued with Frodo's gift! I saw the art photos of Merry and Estella's marriage certificate on the challenge site although I didn't get a close look. It seened awesome...since I'm reading the tale here, I'll go check it the knotwork and such. :-) I am so loving this; I always enjoy the chit-chat between the cousins and other seemingly mundane things at Crickhollow. Your brilliant talent as a writer. :-) Author Reply: I'm glad the curiousity is piqued! That was the whole idea--I decided to be as sneaky as Bilbo with it! I hope you like the document--I had loads of fun mking it! *blushes* Thank you; I always think of Crickhollow as a haveen of cozy hobbity domesticity! | |

| I wanted to review earlier but my dial-up connection kept burping on me. Technology! The description of Frodo's artwork sounds absolutely incredible - how lovely that he managed to get in Rohan, Buckland and the Shire, and even better was that Legolas watched. Poor Merry - dreaming about getting married in his flimsies! *snert* Author Reply: Technology gets the blame a lot--I'm sure it's actually gremlins who are responsible for that sort of thing, LOL! It seems to me that Legolas *would* enjoy watching. I think that he has become fascinated with his mortal friends, and he'd like seeing them put their talents to work. (And at the end of the story there will be a link, so you can see just what the Marriage Lines look like!) That's just the kind of embarrassing dream that fear of a public spectacle will bring on, LOL! | |

| Everything is working perfectly! I like the Eucatastrophe Universe! No bad dreams about the quest for Merry, but instead embarassing dreams about his future mother-in-law. That's just great :) I liked your description of how Frodo illuminated the wedding document. I've never seen how it is done, but I've always admired the results! And of course I'm really curious to know what exactly Bilbo's and Frodo's wedding gift is! It can easily break, it seems. Author Reply: I like that universe too! I thought perhaps the more immediate and imminent threat would be enough to drive off old memories, at least for now! I enjoy illuminating documents. I did go at first into much more detail, but opted to tone it down some. Gilding is a fun process, and it's amazing how much richness it adds to a border! You'll see the gift in the upcoming chapter! | |
