The familiar characters and some background information,are,of course, Tolkien.The new are my own creation,a continuation of that story.I take no credit for Tolkien's body of work.
The Kings Test
At first it was a simple demonstration of basic comma...
No,wife.All is well.Everyone has been checked out.
Then why-
It is only...we stand before the world today,profess our love.I feel...
I know.Me too.I feel as if I could come out of my skin,shoot all directions,all at once.
I took his hands as we came together.
It is...I love you more than words could ever express.
Do you feel silly...doing this?
No.I want the world to know.Do you?
I finally feel....complete.
He held me to him, gently kissing me.
My little dove.

Bard the Bowman,King of the Dale,officiated.He and my husband had become best friends after the Battle of the Five Armies.
"The king and queen now have choose to exchange vows, commemorating their love and union."he said,holding his Bible,and gesturing to the king.
He stood facing me,both of us fighting back tears threatening to brim,smiling softly, bashfully to each other.He took my hands, stroking them tenderly with his thumbs.
I feel like a young leaf!If I should falter-
You've got this.
He gazed lovingly into my eyes.
"I take you,my beloved wife,my best friend,my partner in life,and my one true love.I vow to comfort, encourage,and inspire you,each day,and for all of eternity.For you comfort, encourage,and inspire me.I will forever be there to laugh with you,lift you up when sorrow creeps in,and to love you unconditionally"he paused to emphasize this to me,"through this adventure of our life together.You are my love,my happiness,my everything.I am yours,you are mine.Always and forever."
Whew!
Was his cheeks - flushed??? My turn.Deep breath!
"My love,I stand before you at this moment,only sure of one thing;That I want to be your wife, now and always."
Don't cry,don't cry,don't cry!
My love-
"I feel as if I always have been. But the kind of wife that doesn't necessarily submit to you,but is your equal.I want to be the wife that is your partner in everything.I want you to depend on me as I depend on you,but I want us to have our own voices.I want us to understand that when life tries to knock us down, we can count on each other to lift us up.Your love sustains me through everything.You make me so happy."I continued,tears streaming now,as was his,"You are my best friend.I promise to hold fast to this day when times are tough,knowing the strength of our love will see me through.I stand before you, choosing you,I am yours,you are mine.Forever."
