The wedding was held later that spring near the waterfall where Sriosno proposed. It was indeed a beautiful ceremony. Guests gathered from both Mirkwood and Rivendell, and a nice jingling sound from the bells could be heard throughout the kingdom. Riania was dressed in a pure white gown, which trailed out behind her and was trimmed in gold. Her head, whose hair was braided, was adorned in flowers and a new, delicate gold crown. Sriosno had similar attire; he wore a light blue tunic and darker blue trousers, both of which were trimmed in silver. Atop his head a thicker crown of gold sat.

After the wedding, the reception was held in the castle of Rivendell. Although, Riania and Sriosno could not stay long, for they had a long trip to Mirkwood. Riania readied herself in her chambers.

"Madam, Lady Riania, the carriage is ready," announced her maid- servant, Guyanias. "I shall accompany you only to the borders of Rivendell; then another ride shall take me back." She stared hard at the ground, twining a lock of her dark brown hair around her index finger. "I… I shall miss you." Riania looked up from smoothing out the wrinkles in her crisp maroon gown, startled.

"What?" Guyanias stepped forth towards her mistress and embraced her lightly.

"I shall miss your company and mischief," Guyanias smiled sadly, a few tears rolling down her cheeks. Then Riania, more confident, hugged her maid tighter.

"And I shall miss you as well," she replied. "You were always the one who saved me from myself and my trouble." She returned the smile. "Now come," she grinned, the same old mischief she always had shimmering in her eyes. "Our carriage awaits."
