Note: Thanks for the reviews, sorry it took so long for me to update but here it is. If there are any ideas just let me know, let's begin.
"Legolas will you get ready or do you want me to dress you like a little Elfling?" Thranduil roared, after his son had gotten all the servants out of the room.
"Yes, Adar." Legolas answered his father, while he got his formal robes out of the closet. Today was his and Nienna's wedding day. They would finally get married. Legolas sat down on the bed after he had got them out of the closet.
"Legolas." Thranduil said in a dangerous soft voice. "Did you ever had doubts about marrying Naneth?" The unexpected question caught Thranduil off guard before he settle down next to his son and he answered. "Why do you ask, my son?"
"I don't know if I can this, expose Nienna to the world like this. I love her with all my life and after I got her pregnant it seemed like the right thing to do, but now.. Ai Ada I don't know it anymore." Legolas answered, looking up at his father.
"It is alright, my son. I did not know for sure if I could go through with my marriage but after I saw here, I know that I could never doubt it again. It is simply called being nervous." Thranduil explained. Legolas nodded and while standing up, he turned around and said. "I might not be to good at this but I will promise her, that I will love her no matter what she does or says" Before he went to get dressed.
Thranduil smiled, that was his Legolas.
Nienna was not faring any better. "Why did I get into this? I should have listened to my father and just not get pregnant and married." She was pacing around the room. Arwen's clear laughter ran through the room before she said. "Don't worry, I was the same when I married my Estel and now look at how happy we are." She softly stroked the swell of her stomach, they had been married for 6 months now and she was pregnant already.
"Yes, but you don't have half of the Elvish world against you because you are marrying a prince after you gave birth to his daughter." Nienna answered.
"You don't have most of the Elvish world against you and besides you don't have to give up your immortality for the man you love. But anyway, sit still so I can do your hair. You look lovely do you know that." Arwen told her, while she got Nienna to sit down and took care of her hair.
"Now let us go, it is about time to go down to the clearing, are you ready?" Arwen asked.
Nienna shook her head before she said. "No, not really. Where is Moriethel?"
"She is with Adar, don't worry it will be fine. He knows how to take care of a small girl, he had bene raising children ever since he was 3000 years old." Arwen smiled while she guided her friend out of the room.
Legolas was standing in the clearing, being serouded by his closest friends. He wore his silver crown and had a light blue tunic on. "Legolas, stop fiddling with the buttons." Aragorn grinned at him. Legolas looked up and gave his friend a small smile before he said. "Yes, Adar."
"Well, lad, you are finally gonna tie the knot, so how long have you known her now?" Gimli asked, making his way over the Legolas. The Elf looked relieved when Gimli was here and said. "A little more over a year now." His throughts going back to the strange way they met. He had forgotten how long that had been. Now the war was won and he was a happy father of a small little Elfling that he loved to death. How things could change in a year.
"Legolas, stop staring into space, las." Gimli said while he smacked the Elf on the back. Legolas staggered a few steps forward but then recovered his balance and after a quick look at Gimli, he burst out laughing. "Anyway, just stay away from me, please Gimli."
Gimli nodded and while walking away from him, Legolas tried to straighten his robes but it was not avail, he nearly went back into fits of laughing and after a quick look at Aragorn, he found the king grinning at him.
Legolas regained his composure when he heard the soft footfall of Arwen approaching, it would not be long until Nienna came.
Nienna was walking next to her father, Elrohir. Elrohir felt her shaking and tightened his grip on her arm before he said. "It will be fine. I just cannot believe that my child is married before me."
Nienna only nodded absentmindly. She was wearing a soft purple dress, that Galadriel made for her. When she saw Legolas, she smiled before she muttered. "You look amazing, Valar I love you so much."
"Thank you very much, my child." Elrohir said softly, Nienna looked at her father, realizing that she had said it outloud before she blushed and looked to the ground.
Legolas had taken a deep gasp of breath when he saw Nienna. If it was not for the hold that Aragorn had on his arm, he would have walked over to her and kissed her, ceremony or not. "Behave yourself, you are a prince." Aragorn hissed, much to the amusement of two elder Elves that stood next to them.
It was not long before Nienna and Elrohir was standing next to Legolas. Elrond took both of their hands and after getting them to sit down on one knee, he said. "Today the two of you are here because you have requested to test your bond in front of the Valar. Will you be accepted then you will not longer be individuals? If you are not.. well let's just not think of that. But first you must swear this, that no matter what will happen after the test then during the test, you will stay true to each other and to yourself?"
"I swear." Legolas and Nienna both said at the same time. "Then let it begin." Elrond exclaimed, while he started to chant the acient words of the rituel. The crowd looked around in amament. Nienna had closed her eyes and felt the warmth she had shared with Legolas, the connection to his soul, disapear. Even though her lips remained sealed, her heart and soul cried out for her soulmate, frightened that he would be lost to her forever.
A voice asked her question, that if asked later, she would not remember, only know that she had spoken trueth, for she could not lie against a voice this sweet.
Elrond looked at the two younger Elves before him, sitting kneeled and eyes closed. They were pale and Elrond knew somehow that their test was longer then any other. Holding both their hands, he felt them drawing strenght from one another, if their bond would not be accepted, the both of them would die, he had seen it to many times.
Legolas was fighting something he could not see, he only knew it prevented him from getting to Nienna. "I will not give up, let me pass." He argued. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, he was accepted and he felt the warmth return to his very soul and he felt Nienna's presence more vivadly then he had ever felt it before.
Nienna smiled when she felt Legolas's presence in her mind. They had been accepted. Opening her eyes, she smiled when Legolas looked at her, he knew what she had been through and nothing could ever pull them apart.
Elrond smiled when he saw the both of them open their eyes, helping them up, he said. "You have been accepted, will you promise to be true to each other and never to leave on another, save on your own dead?"
"I promise." Legolas and Nienna both said and then Elrond smiled before he said. "Then I will, with every power vested in me, pronounce you husband and wife. But wait, there is also a crownation that has to be done before the celebration can start. Lord Thranduil, the honor is to you."
Thranduil stepped forward and Nienna sat back down on one knee. Legolas took a step back, looking mildly confused that he could not kiss his new wife. "Will you swear to be true to your throne and be loyal to me as your King and to your prince and husband Legolas?" Thranduil's clear voice ran through the woods.
"I swear, my Lord." Nienna answered, looking down.
"Then with the power as the King of Eyrn Lasgalen, I pronouce you, Nienna, daughter of Elrohir of Imlandris, princess of Eryn Lasgalen. I welcome you to my family, Nienna, may you find happiness with my son." Thranduil said, smilin all of a sudden, while he placed the smaller crown on her head. He then helped her up and while giving her hand to Legolas, he said. "Take care of her, my son."
Legolas smiled and while stepping up, he captured Nienna's soft lips in a breath taking kiss. When they broke apart, the crowd started cheering and everybody moved to congratulate them.
The evening after the feast when Nienna had finally gotten Moriethel to bed, seeing as the young Elfling had been so good, she was lying in Legolas's embrace. The Elf had fallen asleep and Nienna was softly listening to his gentle heartbeat and was finally at peace. Her new life was about to start, but the only thing that worried her, if she could handle it.
