| I love those wedding vows! And Éomer's mentioning of "threats" made me grin from ear to ear. Delightful chapter! Mona Author Reply: Hello Mona, I did not dare to stint on the wedding vows with you reading my story ;-) And the abduction will probably turn into a running joke between them! Lia | |

| Once again, I have to state that although Lothiriel and Eomer are not my favourites, your writing is simply great. It is a pleasure to read you. Your - yes, fan - Irene (P.S Congratulations to Didier Cuche!) Author Reply: Hello Irene, I'll win you over yet ;-) Although I don't know myself why I like Eomer so much, I just always have. Thank you for your kind words! Lia P.S: and congratulations back to Austria! | |

| The wedding was definitely original. I was actually quite taken aback and shocked when Eomer threw the sword, without it's sheath, into he air. Poor Imrahil. I can just imagine him beset by a heart-attack, if something bad had happened... Very enjoyable chapter and thanks so very much for writing! Author Reply: Hello Alqua, not as shocked as Imrahil ;-) But I thought if Eomer manages to throw his sword up in the air and catch it again during a battle, he might also do so at his wedding. Poor Imrahil will need a stiff drink now, though. Lia | |

| Wow! The short wait is such a treat in itself and the chapter too was delightfully romantic. Poor Lothy--she must have looked like a deer caught in headlights in the tent with Ceolwen. Wonder how Eomer will address that situation. ;-D Will we also get a glimpse of their kids/married life? Author Reply: Hello Whitewave, I felt a bit sorry for putting Lothiriel through that talk myself, but just couldn't resist the temptation! We'll get a glimpse of how Eomer will 'address the situation' in the next chapter and then a short epilogue set some months later, so you'll see a little bit of their married life. Lia | |

| Oh, what lovely wedding customs you created! I especially enjoyed how you incorporated Éomer tossing Gúthwinë into the air... that is one of my favorite moments in the Battle of the Pelennor! But I never before actually thought about how difficult it is to toss a heavy sword into the air and not catch it in an inauspicious location ;-) ... that takes real skill and coordination. I would have frozen in sheer terror were I in Lothíriel's position. What a great chapter, Lia! And I am so pleased to see Éomer and Lothíriel together at last, with the blessing of all.... Well done! - Barbara Author Reply: Hello Barbara, that's one of my favourite scenes as well (as you could probably guess)! But I agree that it must be pretty difficult to do it correctly. I'm sure he practised hard ;-) And I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the wedding. Now on to the rest of the day... Lia | |

| Ah! What a custom of bravado and showmanship and skill--and I can see why he didn't forewarn her! Poor Imrahil--must have stolen a year or so from him! But now it's done, and the marriage is made! May it be a joyful choice for both! Author Reply: Hello Larner, I have to admit that the scene from the books where he throws his sword in the air is one of my favourites, so I could not resist reusing it here. But you're right that poor Imrahil probably aged a decade in that single instant! And I hope they fill find lots of joy in their marriage. Lia | |

| A gown meant to impress, as functional in its way as a suit of armour That's a wonderful point. I love the way she rides off, leaving Eomer to catch up. Abduct him, indeed. What wonderful vows. Are those canon in some way or did you make them up? Also I like the way his sword represents his honor, which he puts in her keeping. Author Reply: Hello Daw, somehow I think she has no need to abduct Eomer ;-) The vows are my invention and I'm pleased to hear you liked them! I wanted to take up the word game with kennings from an earlier chapter, so that seemed a good opportunity. Lia | |
