All the quests were there. Outside, I could hear the milling of realatives and friends, screams of unruly children and the chattering of neighbors that had come to the occasion. I sat there in my wedding gown, not in the least bit nervous. It would have been the happiest moment of my life, had I loved him. But I didn't. He was strange , known widely for traveling about with elves and such. Then, as if flashing forward into time, I was already rehearsing my vows. Where had those hours before gone to? He told me I looked beautiful, but ignored him. I said I Do with tears on my face. When we were pronounced Husband and Wife, I didn't kiss him. I wouldn't let him kiss me. I didn't stay to talk to relatives, for I thought if I heard 'Congratulaations' I might be sick. I went to my room and sadly packed my things and heard my mother eneter.

" I don't want your blessing or well wishes leave me be" I said coldly. "Diamond. I don't want you to be cold, this is for the best." She replied hardly. It made me burst into tears. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? " I shreiked for all to hear. "HOW COULD YOU PROMISE ME TO A MAN I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T LOVE BECAUSE OF HIS TITLE?" my mother pursed her lips, the way she always did when she was in some sort of emotional conflict , but mantained her state of calm. " How could you deny such a fine young man? Look at all the jewlery he has sent you!" she said softly, pointing to my box, filled with earrings and necklaces that Pippin had sent me, to try and materialistically enchant me. I picked up the box and opened it " Of course mother. You love jewelry. SO WHY DON'T YOU HAVE IT? " I threw it at her feet. " that's all a daughters happiness is worth to you anyways " I said as coldy as my tears and left without another word to her. Outside, a pony awaited me, beside my new husband. He was waving goodbye to his friends and family. I climbed onto the beast. I didn't wave. I didn't smile as we left to my new home for the rest of my miserable existence.
