Chapter 12, Royal Wedding.

  The next day, Rinamarth, and Arwen were up extra early to prepare their dresses. The wedding ceremony was to take place at noon, and they did not have much time to get themselves perfect. Rinamarth demanded that Arwen should be done first. "But what about you?" Arwen asked as Rinamarth pushed her down into a chair to wave her hair.

"Don't worry, I'm a fast dresser!" They laughed. "I'll manage, don't worry."

She did Arwens' hair, and then it was time for the dress. Arwen had only worn it the previous day, but as Rinamarth did up the clasp at the back for her, it had a whole new meaning. Rinamarth gently placed the tiara on her head, and laid the veil against her hair. She was to wear a single diamond round her neck on a sliver chain. "Beautiful," Rinamarth whispered.

"Right come on, your turn," said Arwen.

They got out Rinamarths' dress, and she quickly got into it. Arwen did her hair, and placed the tiara on. The crystals sparkled in the sunlight. "They'll see us coming a mile off," joked Rinamarth. Arwen laughed. "We'll be sparklingly noticeable." Soon they were ready, and Arwen started to get butterflies. "Oh Rinamarth!" she whispered.

"You'll be fine."

"Hey, you're wearing your heart!"

Rinamarth looked down. "Er, yes, Legolas gave it back to me…last night."

"Why?"

"Because!"

"Rinamarth?"

"Look, why are you so interested anyway? He thought it would go with my dress."

"Oh, ok." She left it at that.

 "Right, it's time," said Rinamarth. She picked up her bunch of roses, and they left the room to head down to the garden where the ceremony was to take place. Arwen was shaking a little. Rinamarth held her hand. "Don't worry, its going to be great," she assured her. Just as they were about to step outside, they stopped, and Arwen took some deep breaths. "Ok, I'm ready." They left the palace.

From their seats in the garden, some people did notice the sparkle given off by their tiaras.

"Here they come," Gimli whispered to Legolas. Legolas looked back up towards the palace. He could see them clearly. "They both look…beautiful," he whispered.

As they drew nearer, everyone turned back round the correct way, and music started playing to lead them down the aisle. Everyone started to get to his or her feet. Elrond was waiting to lead Arwen up the aisle. He took her arm. "Ready?" he asked in a whisper. She just nodded, held her head high, and they started walking. Rinamarth followed, filled with pride and excitement. They got nearer the end, and Aragorn was waiting. Gandalf was conducting the ceremony. Rinamarth went, and stood next to Legolas. He was gazing at her. She glanced at him, and had to stifle her laugh. His face was a picture. "You look absolutely amazing," he whispered.

"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." He was wearing a dark blue tunic with silver hems. His hair had been re-braided so it was perfect, and he stood tall and proud, a real Prince of Elves. She turned back to face the ceremony.

They said their vows, and then kissed under the noon sun. Everyone cheered. The whole thing seemed to pass in a bit of a blur for Rinamarth; it was so fantastic. Arwen and Aragorn walked back down the aisle as man and wife, and then Arwen stopped. She turned away from the congregation, and tossed the bunch of roses over her head. The girls all started running to catch it. Rinamarth stayed where she was, and the roses fell straight into her hands. All the girls scowled, then laughed. Arwen turned round to see who had caught it. She smiled at her sister. Rinamarth was just standing there laughing. She turned to look at Legolas. He was clapping, and as she looked at him, he winked. She frowned, confused at his expression. He had a small grin on his face. From there, everyone was to go up to the feasting hall, and a feast was to take place. That would be followed by a dance, as was traditional. Everyone made his or her way slowly back to the palace.

Everyone sat in the same places as last night. So Rinamarth was once again next to Legolas and her brother Elladan. Arwen now wore a crown of silver upon her head, and Aragorn wore his crown of gold. They look superb together, a real King and Queen. They talked whilst they ate, and Rinamarth turned to face Legolas. "Why did you wink when I caught the flowers?" she asked. He grinned over the top of his glass of wine. "Legolas!"

"What?"

"Come on, I want to know!" She punched him playfully on the arm. "Leggy…"

"Don't call me that!"

"Well tell me then."

"Later, I promise."

"Fine." She left it at that. The music suddenly started up, and it was traditional that the bride and groom should dance the first dance alone together. Aragorn took Arwens' hand, and they walked out onto the floor. Everyone's eyes turned to them.

The music was slow, and so they just gently swayed together on the spot. No one else could hear the sweet things they were whispering in each other's ear, but they were obviously nice, because they were both smiling ridiculously. As the music ended, they bowed to each other, and Aragorn kissed Arwens' hand. She smiled, and Rinamarth was sure she could see a faint blush rising to Arwens' cheeks. She smiled. The next music started playing. "Come on," said Legolas, and took her hand. Rinamarth got to her feet, and walked onto the floor with him. The four Hobbits noticed this straight away. "They're in love, for definite," said Frodo, holding back a laugh.

"I think it's really sweet," said Pippin.

"Why?" asked Merry.

"Well, love is sweet isn't it? I mean, take a look at Aragorn and Arwen. They're obviously meant for each other. Legolas and Rinamarth obviously are too. Its great seeing people get together, it always brings happiness to my heart."

"Pip, is it me, or are you turning soppy?" asked Sam grinning.

"No, its just sort of…magical isn't it."

"S'pose so. I understand what you mean, and Legolas definitely deserves someone after all he's been through," agreed Frodo.

"What do you mean, 'after all he's been through'? We've been through the same, maybe worse!" said Sam.

"No, before the Fellowship, before we were even born. Gandalf told me in secret. I'm not meant to tell you, but can you keep it secret?"

"Of course we can, what is it?"

"Well, he and Rinamarth met hundreds of years ago for the first time in Rivendell. Rinamarth couldn't speak at the time; you know all about that don't you?"

"Yes, yes, carry on."

"Well, Legolas felt sorry for her, you know what his hearts like. They became great friends, and then, years later, Elrond found a cure for his daughter, to recover her lost voice. It was that she had to receive a kiss from her one true love after drinking a special potion or something like that. One problem. No one had any idea who her one true love was. They visited Mirkwood; just a couple of years after Elrond had found it. They still hadn't found her one true love. Somehow, I don't know all the details, but Legolas kissed Rinamarth! And then her voice came back! She hadn't kissed anyone else since, so it was plain that Legolas was her one true love! But nothing else ever happened. Rinamarth gave him her heart necklace, that for some reason, she is wearing tonight. Strange, I've only just noticed that. Anyway, then Legolas lost his memory…"

"How?" all the three Hobbits cried at once.

"Give me a chance!" cried Frodo. "He was hit on the head at the Battle of Five Armies. Bilbo met him and his father, Thranduil. Said they were very nice, but the Prince had unfortunately been injured. He lost loads of memories, including the ones about Rinamarth." Everyone gasped at this point. "He recovered, but couldn't remember hardly anything. He was apparently really disappointed. He went to Rivendell for the Council, and they met again. He vaguely remembered, and he's fallen back in love with her. She always loved him obviously. And along the way, he remembered things, like in Lothlórien; he remembered his time with her there. Ages ago, he rescued her from a witch or something…Gandalf didn't tell me everything about that. So, they're very close, best friends, and in love."

"Wow. That's a lovely story," said Merry, looking towards Legolas. He and Rinamarth were laughing as they spun round together quite fast. The music ended, and they bowed to each other, trying desperately not to laugh out too loud. The Hobbits stayed quiet as they came back to the table. "Hello," said Legolas as they passed.

"Hi Leggy."

"Don't call me that!" They all laughed. "Sorry!" He scowled at them, then laughed. He sat back down next to Rinamarth.

The evening passed with more dancing, more laughing, and overall, more celebrating. Legolas and Rinamarth went for a walk about halfway through, as it was getting too hot in the hall. They went back to the fountain. "It's been a great night hasn't it?" said Legolas as they sat on the side.

"Perfect," Rinamarth replied.

They sat silently for a short while, but Rinamarth noticed Legolas kept looking at something in his hands. "What are you looking at?" she finally asked. He looked up at her. Then, to her total astonishment, he slid off the small wall around the fountain, and went down on one knee. In his open hands, lay a tiny wooden box. Inside, lay a beautiful silver ring with a small diamond on top. He looked up at her. She was staring at it, her mouth wide open with shock.

"Rinamarth, will you marry me?"

She gazed at him. His eyes were sparkling like the diamond on the ring as he looked hopefully up at her. She smiled.

"Of course I will!"

He smiled, and slipped the ring on her finger. He got back up, and they kissed under the moon again. They held each other closer, and slightly tighter. They eventually parted, and Legolas gazed into her eyes. The stars reflected in them, and they sparkled beautifully. She gazed back, and saw the stars also reflected in his. She smiled, and gently stroked his right cheek. Faintly, ever so faintly, she could see his scar. Only Elvish eyes could see it. She ran her finger down it. "Your scar…"

"What about it?"

"Remember?"

"Vaguely. An Orc gave to me in a battle, right?"

"Yes. When you were fighting to save my life. I had to watch it all from your horse. I was extremely weak because of the witch's power over me. There was nothing I could do. I had to watch you get hurt." He took her hand in his and kissed it. "I would die for you, you know that don't you."

"And I would for you. If any harm ever came to you…again, I wouldn't know what to do. Especially if it was worse than last time."

"If you ever got hurt, I wouldn't be able to live. I need you in my life; I can't live without you. That's why I want to marry you."

"And that's exactly why I am marrying you!" They kissed again, and sat there a while, Rinamarth in Legolas' arms. Then, they headed back to the hall to tell Aragorn and Arwen the good news.   

 "Fantastic!" cried Arwen when they told her.

"Ssh, keep it down!" hissed Rinamarth.

"When are you telling everyone?" asked Aragorn.

"Tomorrow."

"Why not tonight?"

"It's your night tonight."

"Yes, and I want to announce it! Can I?" Aragorn was literally pleading.

"Why are you so desperate?" asked Legolas.

"Because it's good news, and this is the perfect time to tell it because we are at a wedding."

"Ok, if you want." Legolas looked at Rinamarth. She was biting her lip. "The Hobbits will never let me live this down," said Legolas. She giggled nervously. "Wait, Aragorn!" she suddenly said. He turned to her. "What?"

"We haven't told father yet!"

"Well, you'd better tell him first."

"Ok, won't be long." She and Legolas walked over to Elrond who was talking with Gandalf. "Father, we've got some news." Elrond guessed what was coming; he could see their hands clasped extremely tightly. "Really? What news is this then?"

Rinamarth looked at Legolas. She took a deep breath.

"We would like your blessings for us to get married."

A huge grin immediately crossed Elronds' face. He stood up, and held his daughters' hand. "This is wonderful, congratulations. Of course I give you my blessings. Have you told your sister?"

"Yes, she and Aragorn want to announce it." He laughed again. "If it is what you want, then let them."

"Ok." She looked over to her sister, and nodded. Arwen nodded back, and nudged Aragorn. "Go on then," she whispered.

Aragorn stood up, and clapped his hands for silence. Legolas and Rinamarth joined him at the table as the noise died away. "Here we go," whispered Pippin to Merry. Everyone turned to look at Aragorn.

"Ok, I won't talk for long, I expect you all want to carry on with your dancing and drinking!" Everyone laughed. He smiled, and carried on. "I would just like to thank you for all coming, and it has been a wonderful day, the best day of my life!" Everyone cheered and clapped. He signalled for silence again.

"Now, obviously, our wedding is fabulous news, but I have another announcement to make." Everyone went silent, wondering what on earth it could be. "Do not worry, it is good news." A huge sigh of relief went through the audience. "I am very pleased, and honoured, to announce the wedding of my great friend Legolas, to Arwens' beautiful sister Rinamarth."

Everyone started cheering and clapping again. People were on their feet, cheering, whistling, all the usual. Rinamarth could feel her cheeks going bright scarlet. She smiled, and laughed. Legolas could also feel his cheeks burning, but he tried not to let them go too red. The Hobbits sat there, quite stunned. "I wasn't expecting that!" gasped Frodo.

"Neither was I." agreed Sam.

I certainly wasn't," added Merry.

"I was."

"Pippin!"

"What? It was so obvious! They haven't been able to stay away from each other all night. It was obvious something was going on. And you clearly didn't see Rinamarths' engagement ring! Left hand, see." They all looked at her hand. Sure enough, there was a silver ring twinkling round her finger. "Oh yeah," said Sam slowly. They carried on clapping and cheering with everyone else.

Aragorn looked at his friend. "Congratulations" he said.

"Thank you Aragorn," Legolas replied. Aragorn smiled. "It's really good that you've finally found someone to settle down with. I'm really happy for you."

"Don't make me go any redder!"

Aragorn laughed. "You're not that red, just a little bit."

"Can you blame me?"

"No!" They both laughed.

"Right, we're going to have to sort out your wedding dress now!" said Arwen excitedly.

"And your bridesmaids' dress. What sort do you reckon would suit me?"

"Anything white suits you."

"Really?"

"Yes. Remember your white dress, the 'dancing dress'?"

"Why do you call it that?"

"Because it is your 'dancing dress'! It's the dress you danced your first dance with Legolas in, isn't it?"

"Yes. I want tiaras like these, I love them."

"Copy cat!"

"Hey, I'm paying you a compliment!"

Arwen laughed. "Ok, ok. We'll get it sorted as soon as possible."

They carried on discussing outfits and dresses for almost the remainder of the evening. Legolas and Rinamarth danced more as well. Every time he held her, she felt like she was in heaven. She loved the feeling of his strong arms wrapped round her, holding her close. He loved the feeling of her hands on his back or waist, softly caressing him. Her head leant gently against his chest, and he kissed the top of her head, and she would always smile, sometimes giggle. She would stroke his back in return. It was a magical night for the both of them.

So how was that? Ok? Too over the top? Please review and tell me. All reviews are welcome, but please no flames. Thank you! ^_^
