You know, you continue to amaze me. I'm glad you went ahead and posted this one. I was beginning to become impatient. :)

How much longer will they have to wait until the Big Day?

Keep up the hard work.

Author Reply: The Big Day is coming right up in a moment. Thanks for your review, I'm so glad you're enjoying this! :)

Whew! Where did you dig up all those names?! Do you, like me, keep a copy of RotK next to the computer so you can reference the Appendices? Bravo! I was even more impressed by that than by the phrase, "Well, perhaps 'scoff' isn't the right word. I believe... 'been thoroughly appalled' is more accurate." That got a good, long chuckle out of me!

I notice they didn't invite Hugo . . .

Author Reply: Hehe, as a matter of fact, RotK does tend to be within reach of my chair at the computer. I've picked that thing up so many times the past few weeks that I've almost got the appendicies memorized. :P

And no, it looks like they didn't invite Hugo. I'd planned on tying that loose end up, but when I sat down and wrote the wedding, it (as well as some other things I'd wanted to include) got buried under everything else. Maybe I'll find a place to stick it later on when I edit the story...

I really appreciate the feedback, thanks so much!

I am enjoying this story thoroughly. It's getting to be quite a novel ;) Please keep going with it!

HURRAY! I beat Coriel to the newest chapter this time! I just happened to be lucky enough to be on SoA and saw the update, so I came as quick as I could.

Another beautiful chapter! One "Forgetful Innkeeper in Bree" had better get himself a new mail carrier. Better yet, people had better stop giving him their mail. Maybe it would get to its destination on time for once. :)

Speaking of "had betters", Merry and Estella had better hurry up and get married. I don't think she will be able to wait much longer. How much you want to bet she keeps a tight lesh on him for the first year or so. Keep him *and* Pip in line. :) They need some female authority in the house.

Aaaaaawwwwwww . . . (*melts into a puddle on the floor*)

Boy, did I need that today! Thank you for reminding me of how I felt when I held my daughter in my arms for the first time.

Wonderful! You've done it again. A wonderful chapter, but none to follow it as of yet. We've got everyone together again, they've all seen each other, what happens now!?

It's nice to see everyone again! I see things are going to be busy in Gondor shortly. And Legolas does make a good babysitter, doesn't he?

Hm, I seem to have missed a couple of updates!

Those two stubborn, hard-headed hobbits! I'm glad you resolved it (though really, what choice do you have if you want to be cannon?) but just the fact that Merry is leaving for a year means something ELSE is going to happen . . . I loved how Sam spoke with a bloody nose; it reminded me of Bilbo saying, "Thag you berry buch" in Esgaroth!

So -- when are you going to get back to Pippin and Diamond? ;-)

Thanks for the story!

Again, a wonderful piece of work, but, oh, so short. Still, I'm glad to see that Fatty loves his little sister. Keep up the good work and UPDATE SOON!

You know, you really should make these chapters longer. I mean, what you write it great, but there's not enough of it to last as long as I would like. You really must update soon!
