Pip stood at the front, wishing he had something to brace his knees against so they didn't knock together so audibly.
Not that he was scared, but he was starting to regret inviting his fourth cousin's twice-removed by marriage on his fathers side's mother in law's uncle and all his friends and not to mention what seemed like half the shire in front of him.
'Just hold tight and think of stuffed mushrooms,' he told himself.
And suddenly, this.. Princess..in blue walked over. Diamond was there, standing beside him, smiling. In a blue dress which seemed to 'cling' rather than be worn, and the elven jewels about her brow and neck, deep waves of chestnut hair flowing to her waist and her blue eyes sparkling, he hardly recognised her.
Pip stood and stared open mouthed for a few seconds, then leaned sideways to whisper to Merry (sitting in the front row):
'Ah think. Ah think ah've jist fallen in luv a' ower again'.
'Good. Try and land on your feet this time, not your arse.' replied Merry enthusiastically.
The hobbit who would be leading the ceremony was none other than Took Paladin himself. Rather embarrassingly, he also happened to be Pippin's own father. He was also extremely elderly, deaf in one ear and only marginally better in the other, and verged on the senile at times.
'She'sh polished up well, 'asn't she?' he said loudly to his son, flashing a toothless grin at the congregation.
Pippin thought 'why me?', crossed his fingers and nodded emphatically. He almost fell over trying to cross his toes for extra luck, just as his Da took a deep wheezy breath, and opened his mouth to begin the ceremony..
