| A beautiful wedding! I enjoyed Sam's thoughts of Frodo as he performed the ceremony and I was near tears when Eglantine gave Pippin in marriage. As the mother of a son that rang true to me. | |

| Oh! I realised that I'd missed this chapter when the new chapter announcement took me to a post-wedding chapter! (I was sure you wouldn't have skipped such a momentous occasion. I do love the way you have with words. Such a load of happiness for one rather short day to carry. And then the touching tribute to Diamond's father, brought tears to my eyes. And the reaction was completely appropriate: There were some murmurs heard about the room and many looked at the small group of hobbit lasses that had huddled together when the ceremony began. Most of the girls within the group now shook their heads and moved away from Violet Boffin; no words against Pippin's marriage to Diamond would be spoken. And the wedding ceremony itself, and the vows that Pippin and Diamond exchanged: more happy tears. Seems that I always cry at weddings, even hobbity ones! MEWD, dear Pearl. | |

| Whoa, baby! Those kisses at the end were the cherries on top of the cake! That was indeed a very beautiful ceremony! I thought the symbol behind the hand-holding was especially nice and well done on the non-customary exchange of fealty/promises. I had a wee chuckle when Pippin lay in his bed before rising, thinking of how his life would be changed in just a few hours. I thought this story was a bit longer, but you said you shortened it a bit--I hope there is still a little more to go! I have enjoyed this tale so much! Pippinfan Author Reply: Thank you, m'dear Pippinfan! I'm glad your liked the ceremony and the kisses at the end ;) There is one more chapter to go. I did combine some of the earlier chapters and so the story is now 24 chapters long instead of 31, but its actual length is most likely close to the same in actual # of words and pages. Maybe longer as I don't remember removing any lengthy sections but I did add a few (Merry and Pippin in the linen closet and Merry teasing Pippin about being in the barn). Thank you for sticking with this and responding :) | |

| :) You finally reached the wedding! This chapter was so...*hobbity* in every way! It seemed exactly as I picture a hobbity wedding. I'm really enjoying the rewrite, and it's just a shame that there are only one or two chapters left. Thankyou :) Author Reply: Thank you! I'm glad you like the wedding and feel that it's hobbity :) Only one more chapter, sorry to say. Thank you so much, EstellaB, for staying with this and for leaving responses :) | |
