A/N: Long time, no see, I know. I've been busy all summer, and the lack of plot bunnies didn't help. I know absolutly nothing about elvish weddings. I'm basing it off of a wedding from the Renessiance. A little. This is the last chapter.
Chapter 9: Wedding "Are you ready?" King Thranduil asked his son, fully knowing the answer.
"No. But then, who is? Could you make the ceremony go faster?" Legolas asked, also knowing the answer.
"Of course not. Then you wouldn't be fully bonded, and there would be a scandel."
The king left his son to finish getting ready on his own. He had arrangments of his own to make. #
"My Lady, please hold still! this dress will never get finished in time if you don't quit moving!" The handmaiden reprimanded.
"Sorry, Malanna. I'm just so excited! I can't wait to get married!" Arina replied happily. Malanna shook her head and started working on the bride's hair.
Arina's golden locks were braided and wrapped around her head, then pinned in place. Her ivory colored dress lay around her like a nest while she sat. Her face was colored by the richest make-ups and she wore satin slippers. Finally, Malanna deemed her ready, giving her a bouquet of woodland flowers.

Legolas couldn't take his eyes off of the apparation before him. Arina had never looked so beautiful.
"We are gathered here today to witness this union before the Valar," Thranduil started.
Arina could barely remember her lines. Legolas was so handsome in his bridegroom's regalia. And he was looking at her like she was Luthien herself. "May the Valar bless this union." Thranduil finished at long last. Legolas lifted her veil and kissed her. then he took her hand, and with a mischeivous twinkle in his eyes, ran down the aisle with her running after. They didn't stop until their chamber doors.
Legolas picked up his new wife, and walked her across the threshold. So began a new saga in the lives of the Mirkwood Royals.

A/N: Yes, short, I know, but it's more of an epilogue than an actual chapter. Replies:
Little Birdie- Actually, I believe elves use the meaning of their first name as the last name. Thanks for reviewing!
Dalamar- Actually, I was going to have her children do that. It starts with Zekk, then Rachel joins in. Unfortunately, the Ellimist stepped in just when they were on the verge of getting it. . . But that comes later in the other story.
Carcilwen Thorned-Rose- Actually, This is a colony that seperated from other Edain. They made up different names and are a completely different culture. They also live longer than the Dunedain.
