Disclaimer: I don't own anything of the Lord of the Rings.
Note: Thanks for the reviews. So here is the wedding. I hope you enjoy it, let's begin.
Glorfindel eyed his reflection in the reflecting glass. His blue eyes were sparkled with anticipation. He was dressed in white, or a white tunic and a darker shade of leggings. The golden hair was tied back in one thick braid. The warrior braids were gone now and he replaced the hairs that were hanging loose by pins that tied them back.
He hummed softly to himself, doing up the last clips of his tunic. He was getting married, it was finally happening. Erestor would be his finally today.
It had taken the total of two weeks to organize even with Elrond's influence and Celebrain's skill. Elladan and Elrohir would be the ring bearers. Luckily Elrond had the rings at the moment, Glorfindel didn't trust Elladan and Elrohir to that extend.
There was a knock on the door and even before Glorfindel could utter a word Elrohir walked in. The youngest son of his lord seemed to shuffle his feet and Glorfindel turned to the young arrival. "What is the matter, Elrohir?"
He kept his voice low and gentle to courage the young twin to confide in him. The large grey eyes looked up into his with all the sincerity that a child could muster as the Elfling said. "You won't go away, right? I mean…we can still come to your room when I have a nightmare?"
The small voice hitched and broke and Glorfindel leaned down so he could lift the child up and settle it on his hip. "Yes, Elrohir, my door will always be open to you. I will be sharing rooms with Erestor because he will be my husband. Our rooms will be bigger then the ones we have now because there will be two people living there."
Elrohir nodded and then leaned against him, resting his head on Glorfindel's shoulder, trust implicit in his actions. "Erestor is very exited. He is trying to arrange everything again, much to Ada's dismay."
A suspicious thought began to creep into Glorfindel's mind and the older elf looked Elrohir in the eye, trying to detect a lie as he asked in a steely voice. "Did your father send you to check upon me?"
"Uhm, no."
"Elrohir, do not lie to me! It does not become you. What did your father say?"
"He said that he wanted to check to see if you are alone and not with Erestor? He has send Elladan to check upon Erestor. But I was really afraid that you were going to stop me from entering your room when I have a nightmare. Sometimes Ada doesn't like it when I enter their rooms at night."
"I know that Elrond doesn't. He is merely busy then with…other things…we will keep the door locked whenever we are busy."
"But with what are you busy then? I don't understand." Elrohir looked puzzled but Glorfindel was sure that both Elrond and Celebrian would not be happy with him if he told their son about binding. He ran a hand through his hair and dismissed the question.
"Well, they are just sleeping next to each other. It is complicated. I will explain it when you are older. Can you do me a favour, Elrohir and go and see when Elrond is ready to begin the ceremony. I am getting anxious." With those soft words Elrohir left.
Another knock sounded and Glorfindel turned, expecting to see Elladan now but instead Erestor stood before him. The younger elf was dressed in black that rippled when he moved and showed off his lean shape. Glorfindel felt his mouth go dry and his cock twitched when his eyes travelled down his beloved's form to see well shaped legs being shaped by the leggings that he wore.
Erestor normally wore robes and Glorfindel had always enjoyed a simple tunic and leggings on his friend, secretly admiring him that way. The smaller elf smiled and said. "I couldn't contain myself when Elrond has sent the twins to spy on us."
"You think that he will cancel the marriage when we consummate the bond right here and now?" Glorfindel's voice was a low purr. The warrior stepped closer and brought one hand up to caress Erestor's cheek.
The younger elf leaned into it before he pushed himself away. Just at the appropriate moment when Elrond entered. He stared from one elf to another, eyes narrowed and then he shook his head, saying. "Get downstairs you two. I thought that my sons could get the job done but it doesn't seem to be the case."
Erestor shot a grin at Glorfindel before they both exited the room. Elrond preceded them, giving the soon to be married couple some time to adjust to their new positions in their lives. Never before had either of them been married. They had been around bonded couples but this was different, it would always be different.
This time it would be them who would be bonded. Erestor stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Glorfindel. "Now we can still turn back."
"I do not wish to turn back, Erestor, do you?"
"All I ever wanted was to bind with you, Glorfindel, that is not going to change, meleth nin." Erestor smiled at him, a hidden light filled his eyes and for a moment Glorfindel felt the elven mind wrap around his own.
Together they proceeded into the garden to where their friends and loved ones were waiting for them. They were met with loud cheering and clapping. Glorfindel took a deep breath and then held out his hand to Erestor, who took it quickly.
Together they walked down the stairs and into the garden where tables and chairs were assembled to seat those present. The feast would last well into the day and the night for it was a reminder of the lighter times that they shared with each other.
Elrond stood off to the side, lady Celebrian radiant by his side. The lord and lady of Imladris had clasped hands and everybody could see the love between the two rulers. Celebrian approached Glorfindel, holding up his hand and taking away the silver ring as she spoke. "Have you made your decision regarding your betrothal, Glorfindel of Imladris?"
"I have made my decision. I wish to bind with Erestor of Imladris."
"Is that also what Erestor wishes for?" Elrond's voice was deep and he too took the silver ring from Erestor's finger.
"I wish to bind with Glorfindel of Imladris."
"Then it is settled. I call upon Manwë to give us his blessing for this union between these two beloved."
"And I call upon Varda, dearest to the elves to give her blessing to this union." Celebrian called out.
Those gathered formed a circle before the couple as Lady Galadriel; ruler of the golden wood of Lorien stepped forward. The lady as dressed in a white flowing garment, her golden hair unbound and flowing past her waist. She smiled at the male elves gathered in front of her.
"Those gathered here today to join the ceremony of Glorfindel and Erestor will claps hands to give their blessing and that of the Valar to the couple. They will say their own vows which will be echoed by us."
Erestor's hand was cool in his grip and Glorfindel squeezed gently. Erestor could feel Glorfindel's presence in his mind, soothing and warm, familiar yet strangely.
I will love you till the end of time and beyond.
My feet will find their path together with yours and my heart shall never stray from you.
The elven vows were strong and binding and Erestor felt his soon to be husband's surprise at the intensity of the word. The smile that lid the handsome face was breathtaking and then the blue eyes sparkled as Glorfindel nodded at him and Erestor felt the love pour into him.
Never shall I waver from my love and dedication to you, my foolish elf.
I will always find a way to return to you, wounded or not.
My heart will beat in time with yours and rests assured that I will gladly leave my soul in your keeping when I go about hunting.
Never shall you have to fear the darkness again for my light shall overcome them all.
"Will you promise to abide by the vows that you have selected and have given each other in private?"
"I do."
"I do."
"Then I will now pronounce you married. You may consummate the bond between you both at your own pleasure as long as it is not here." The people assembled laughed and cheered for the happy couple as Glorfindel, with all the practised ease of a seasoned warrior, pulled his husband to him and kissed him chastely on the lips.
The younger elf yielded to him and then Erestor opened his mouth, deepening their kiss. Soon they broke away, eyes filled with promises for the rest of the evening. Elrond nodded and them and then allowed his sons to walk forward with the rings.
Glorfindel winked at Erestor and then crouched down, accepting the ring from Elrohir while Elladan shyly gave Erestor his ring. The newly bonded couple turned to each other and placed the rings on each other's finger, proven that they were now wed.
And then Elrond called out. "I present to you, Glorfindel and Erestor of Imladris."
And with those words and a happy kiss a new chapter was set to begin in their lives.
I hope you liked it. Next chapter will be the feast and of course the wedding night. Review of course.
