Celedoron had been riding at an unforgiving pace for three days. A few minutes ago the messenger had finally reached Edoras and was currently being taken to see Éomer, King of Rohan. His message was an urgent one, that much he had been told by the Lord Faramir, though he knew not what it was. He then realized that he was about to enter the renowned King's presence and readied himself.
"What goes forth here?" Éomer questioned with a commanding voice when Celedoron was brought before him.
"I come from Gondor bearing a message of utmost importance, Lord." Celedoron said bowing low and presenting Rohan's King with the scroll. Taking it, Éomer dismissed him and the Royal Guards. He then went to join his wife in the royal family's private quarters and to open it with his Queen.
"What news?" Lothíriel asked as soon as her husband entered the room.
"Peace, my love! I have yet to read it!"
Uttering an oath that no lady of proper decorum should even hear, let alone say, she ripped the scroll from her husband's hands in frustration and broke the seal with a dagger of Éomer's. She swiftly read it before her husband could even get a glance and then she spoke no word, but her eyes screamed with a hidden joy as she slowly gave the scroll to her husband. He snatched it, fearing the worst from the Queen's silence, but then broke into a smile as his heart leapt in joy: Aragorn had said yes. Éomer's eyes then turned to meet his wife's. "You little deceiving scoundrel!" he said in mock anger.
Lothíriel blinked innocently. "I said naught, My Lord. Have I done aught wrong to anger you so?" she jested.
Éomer in turn rolled his eyes. "Come, lady, should we not begin our ride to Gondor?" The King finally broke the silence.
"Indeed, that would be wise." Lothíriel responded. "I cannot wait to see this new daughter of mine!" She chirped, regaining her usual happiness. Everything had been made ready weeks ago. They were prepared to ride at moment's notice, and that they did.

Aragorn, Elfwine and Celewen had just returned from ordering a large feat in three days time, when the Rohirric party would arrive. They had gone together because Aragorn felt it right that the bride and groom should both have some place in the preparation for the wedding, yet there was less doubt when the King himself gave the orders. They had done it immediately so that it could be over with before the young couple was spirited away to be fit for the garments they would wear during the wedding and such.

Celewen had to be almost dragged by her mother and Éowyn to the royal tailors since she had heard so many horror stories about the process from Thorwen, who trailed behind the girl to keep her from running away, for she had joined Arwen and Éowyn in their plans. Celewen prayed to whatever Vala up there that was listening that this experience would be no where near as dreadful as her sister-in-law made it sound.
