Of course. It's impossible for Finrod to have anything go simply. It would break a law of the universe. Wonderful story. I like the china solution especially. ~Eruherdiriel Author Reply: That's for sure, Eruherdirel. And if it did, the universe might well collapse into a black hole. LOL! I'm glad you enjoyed the story, especially the china solution. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it very much.

I'm sorry to see the story end on such a melancholy note. Poor Glorfindel! Apart, from that, I had so much fun, and for the last several chapters, as one catastrophe after the other happened, I kept changing between helplessly laughing or groaning in commiseration and disbelief that yet another disaster had befallen the happy couple. In fact, this: Arafinwë shrugged. "Oh, I don’t know. A blizzard, maybe." He cast them a wry look and they all laughed, but the laughter died when an ominous rumble filled the air. just made me want to shake Arafinwë and shout, "Noooo, don't say it! Now see what you did! You jinxed it!" But the main point of the exercise and all the chaos and commotion is achieved: Finrod and Amarië are (finally!!!) married throws rice and rose petals! Author Reply: Well these are Elves after all so melancholy is something that happens. At any rate, I'm glad you enjoyed this little romp. It was fun to write and come up with one zany disaster after another and hopefully you can see how it was both the "best of times, and the worse of times". And yes, the main point of it all is that Finrod and Amarië are finally married. Thanks for reading and leaving reviews. I enjoyed them very much.

Well, you are a nasty, wicked, cruel person, Fiondil. I realize now the twisted mind you have. Don't deny it. It is clearly evident. You expect us to go back and reread everything.... now that we come to the end (yeah sure) of all things. I'm looking at the index of your epics and thinking: The Wars of the Valar In Darkness Bound The Findarato Diaries Elf Interrupted: Book One Elf Interrupted: Book Two A Long Expected Wedding It is because my memory is not as good as an Elf's. I must go back and discovery answers to my questions, find what I have lost, indulge in pure Elf joy. Darn you, Fiondil! If you hadn't written each of these with such flair and such fun and such angst, I'd be fine. I'd just say: Agape, leave it. It doesn't matter. But no! I must go back. Darn you, Fiondil! Author Reply: Hi Agape. Well, no one's making you re-read these stories. LOL! And you have a new one to look forward to now that I've begun posting the sequel to Elf Academy. Have fun! And thanks for letting me know how much you enjoy reading (and re-reading) my stories.

Is this the final chapeter, as I fear it is? I looked forward to reading each chapter, enjoying the child like behavior of some of the elves. Whether they would admit it or not, they did need the help of the Valar on occassion, Now, off to Elf Academy. I'll try to finish before you post the next half. Author Reply: I'm afraid it is, Tari. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. And I've posted the first chapter of Elf Academy 2 this morning, and will be posting 2 chapters a week, so you better hurry up and re-read Elf Academy so you don't get too far behind. grin Thanks for all your reviews. They were very much appreciated.

I have throughly enjoyed this story.Why should the wedding be left unscathed,after all nothing else has.Glad to see that the Valar finaly made it.I think that Ulmo is going to have more than a few words,with Osse when he catches up with him. Don't envy Osse at all. As for the "wedding china" couldn't think for a better use for it than target pratice.Can't wait for your next story Galathil. Author Reply: Hi Galathil. I'm so glad you enjoyed this story. It was a lot a fun to write. Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate it.

So now this story, too, is at an end. sniffles Considering all that have happened around the wedding, I think Finrod and Amárie were lucky to actually get married at all. And I think that I now know what Amanian elves at least will do when they want to discuss Murphy. They will simply make a reference to this wedding. snicker So Ossë stepped into the part of the traditional uninvited fairy at a fairy-tale Christening - except, of course, that this was a wedding. And at least the "only" delivered an epically bad storm, not a traditional fairy-tale curse. Though I can certainly understand just why Amárie and Finrod thought they were cursed - but hopefully they got served at least several yéni's worth of bad luck over these last few weeks, so their marriage will hopefully be smooth sailing from now on. Anairë's respons to the little digression about hers and Nolofinwë's wedding was perfect - she is off to a very good start with her reborn husband and son! (And Nolofinwë was very cute here - but don't tell him!) ;-) I am not surpriesd at all about the use they made of the wedding china. Just the thing to do with it! I am sorry I did not review earlier - but I have been moving, and I also had a bout of migraine from Angband - I have not had time or energy before. Author Reply: Hi Sunny. I remember you said you would be moving. Hope that turned out well and that your migraine is better. They are definitely no fun. I think after all the trouble they had getting married, their married life should be less stressful. grin I thought Anairë's digression about her and Nolofinwë's wedding a hoot. She apparently knew just what to say to make him feel better. Maybe one day he'll actually remember it for himself. Thanks for all your reviews. I've appreciated them and your continual support very much.

Loved the whole story. While I am excited to know a new story is coming, I am sorry this one is complete. Thanks for all your hard work. Author Reply: Thanks, UTfrog. I appreciate you letting me know how much you enjoyed this story. And it's always sad when a story comes to an end, but they all do eventually. grin

For their sakes, I hope that Finrod & Amarie had a peaceful honeymoon after all that XD Also I suspect Osse will have to be verrrrrry careful about showing up anywhere near either of them for a while. hugs for Glorfindel Sounds like someone is homesick eh? I suppose Gandalf will be carrying lots of letters back! Author Reply: Hi bookworm. I'm not sure if the concept of a honeymoon existed back then, but I'm sure they settled down to a more-or-less peaceful married life. And yes, it seems Glorfindel's feeling a little homesick. I'm sure Gandalf will need a whole other bag just for the letters. grin Thanks for reading and reviewing this story. I've really appreciated it.

Soledad	Reviewed Chapter: 32 on 1/11/2012
They should have invited Osse. nodnod He might be "just" a Maia, but one with great powers and a foul temper. Perhaps then he'd have turned the storm away. Loved the anecdotes of Nolofinwe's wedding. g But other than that, it was a rather depressing ending. Poor bridal couple, after all that they had gone through, the wedding was ruined, even if the Valar did some redressing at the end. And since they are Elves, this is the only wedding they will ever have. :( Will we ever learn why Beleg gave his friends reason to worry? He seems to be recovered if he could massacre the Wedding China of Hell so thoroughly. Author Reply: Hi Soledad. Well, none of the other Maiar were invited, so why should he have been however powerful and foul of temper. One of my brothers actually did faint at his wedding. We have it on tape. It was pretty funny.As for Finrod and Amarië, I suppose they might have looked at it as "if we can survive this disaster, we can survive anything." I'm sure years and yΘni later they laughed over it. As for Beleg... probably not. He was being a Reborn and having only been one for about twelve years, he was still fairly young emotionally. I have no doubt that Eärnur was able to help him through it. It was too minor and too common an occurance to really take much note of it. Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing the story. I appreciate it very much.

Oh, my.... I love the unexpected twist and turns in your story plots. This story sort of reminds me of "Upstairs,Downstairs" ... The best parts sometimes happen in the kitchen or the broom closet... LOL... Hugs Calenlassiel Author Reply: Hi Calenlassiel. I remember that show and I think you're right about that. LOL! I'm glad you enjoyed this story. Thanks for letting me know.
