Far and Away

Wedding Bliss

Chapter 33

(Author's note this is chapter will contain the wedding of Faramir and Eowyn. This isn't recorded by Tolkien so I'm going make up some on my own. And, by the way, this will be the final chapter I hope that you all like it…thanks so much for all of you who have stayed by me while I was writing this. God bless end of author's note)

Eowyn drew in a deep breath. This was it- there was no turning back now. She was standing there, looking down the rows of people. Butterflies flew up from her stomach into her throat. Her heart pounded. She had never been this nervous in her life.

So many people, she told herself. They're all looking at me. All I have to do is focus on him and I'll be all right.

She lifted her eyes to the end of the seemingly endless row of people, all gazing back at her. She lifted her eyes to him.

He stood waiting for her- and her alone. There was no one else. Not a single soul in the room existed except himself and the beautiful angel slowly approaching him. She was radiant. And she was all he saw.

Arwen had helped Eowyn with her dress. It was a sort of mixture between the two cultures. It was fashioned in a tight, waist binding middle, with bindings at the elbows, but its neck was lowered considerably and its train trailed behind. The dress was white, as was traditional, with simbelmyne stitched in a silver glow that encircled the bottom of the dress and gradually wound its way up the dress until it disappeared into the whiteness of the neck and appeared again at the end of the sleeves. Seven gold stars were sown into the bottom of the dress. The gold stood out in the field of silver on which it rested.

Arwen had pulled Eowyn's golden hair out of her face and laced simbelmyne through the tresses. Eowyn wore the necklace and the ring that Faramir had given her.

Before the ceremony had begun, Arwen had turned Eowyn around and looked her up and down.

"You look beautiful," Arwen said.

"Thanks to you," Eowyn said softly. She gazed at the Elf in front of her. Arwen's dark glow surly dimmed any beauty that she had, Eowyn was sure of that. "Thank you Arwen."

Arwen took Eowyn's hands in her own and smiled. "You're welcome. This is your day. I just want everything to be as you've always dreamed it would be."

"Thank you," Eowyn whispered.

Arwen laughed and looked Eowyn deep in the eyes. "Of course! Now you'd better hurry! You don't want your husband to think you've run away, now do you?"

Eowyn smiled and nodded.

Faramir couldn't take his eyes off of Eowyn. She was simply gorgeous. Nothing could ruin this day for him; it was already perfect.

Eowyn stepped up beside the captain and took his hand. She gazed into his eyes…his beautiful, loving eyes that saw no one, but her. She squeezed his hand. He would soon be hers and hers alone, and she would be his and there would be no other.

warning: this is the morning after their wedding night and I've tried to keep it as friendly to all everyone as possible ... so please enjoy!!

The sun woke her the next morning. She turned her face from the bright light onto a cooler place on her bed. As she shifted, she felt an arm slide across her waist and pull her securely close. A smile crossed her face and she rolled over onto her stomach. She lifted herself up with her elbows and gazed on her lover. Eowyn softly brushed the hair from Faramir's eyes. She leaned over and softly kissed his cheek.

Faramir's eyes fluttered open and blinked in the harsh sunlight. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust, but he finally found Eowyn in the brightness. He grinned and moving into a shadier spot, pulled her along with him. As he readjusted in bed, Eowyn laid her head on his chest and watched him.

Last night had been more that she ever could have dream it could be. Knowing that she was his only and he was her only made it even better.

Faramir yawned and rubbed his eyes. He sighed contentedly and smiled at Eowyn. "What are you thinking about?"

Eowyn grinned. "You."

Faramir arched his eyebrows. "Really? M…something good, I hope."

Eowyn laughed. "Wouldn't you like to know!"

"What? You're already keeping secrets from me? Miss, I'm not sure if this is going to work out. I mean, last night- wow! but– hey!" Faramir laughed as he caught Eowyn's fist. "No violence now, remember? I'm stronger than you."

"You wish!" Eowyn said as she struggled against his firm grip.

All Faramir could do was smile as he watched his wife. He grabbed her waist with his free hand and pulled her close. He let go of her hands and cradled her head. He let her catch her breath and then kissed her softly.

"I love you Eowyn Elemmire." He whispered into her ear.

Eowyn smiled. She ran her fingers through his dark hair and rested her forehead on his. "I love you too, Faramir." She kissed him deeply. His arms encircled her body and hugged her tight. And in that moment, Eowyn knew that she had found the man she would always love.

(author's note ok, at the beginning of this, I know I said that this would be the last chapter… well, if you'd like to hear a little on into their life, I can try to think something up, but that's only if I get feedback & all…so, thank you so much for putting up with my laziness & I hope that you enjoyed the story. End of author's note)
