A far more pleasant waking than yesterday's, I must say.

Well - I reckon Lothiriel has come round to the idea of being married to Eomer! They seem to have passed a rather pleasant night, at any rate.

Now come the problems of dealing with the rest of the wedding party!

Very enjoyable chapter!

Well THAT was well worth the wait. Honestly, jokes about cliff hangers asside (and I have been thinking of them) I am glad that you spent time on introducing us to the two characters - Lothiriel in particular - before you put them in bed together. The pay off was perfect. You made everything tasteful and sweet and STILL were able to hold onto the characters' personalities throughout. Impressive.

I have to say I get more intrigued by Eomer with each chapter - again you manage to put the reader in Lothiriel's shoes so well. I want to know what he is thinking. I also am interested to see how Lothiriel will adjust to the practical side of being Queen of Rohan (since the wedding and wedding night have been got over ;)). I am curious to found out what her detractors are going to say and do now that she actually is the queen.

Author Reply: You will hopefully be able to work out what Eomer thinks from his actions. This is all from Lothiriel's POV. She will be given the chance to deal with her detractors before the end.LBJ

Wonderfully Romantic and tastefully done! Quick update, too, after that teaser of a chapter last time... thank you!

I think it's important that they're building a friendship, a genuine caring and unique bond that will hopefully help them each feel supported in the face of challenges to come. Terrific so far.... and I'm enjoying the little touches of humor here and there that, to me, are an important part of any relationship.

Lovely! Can't wait for more! Thanks for sharing!

Author Reply: Yes, they should be able to build on such a good start.LBJ

Lady Blue Jay, this was simply a beautiful chapter to read.Lothiriel has found the man of her dreams(mine, too!) and Eomer trated her with such tenderness, thoughtfulness and love that she soon had no reason to fear Eomer at all.

They make a wonderful couple and they compliment each other so perfectly.Their wedding night was probably better than either of them had ever imagined it to be and they will no doubt explore each other further....and they deserve their newfound happiness.

That was wonderful, LBJ.I'm looking forward to the next chapter already.Update soon!

Ali.
