Wonderful. Best wishes to the both of you.

ps. For future reference: We want pictures.

Seems most things have been said, so I'll just add my hearty congratulations!

Eruanna · 03-09-2005, 10:52 AM

Congratulations Lalwendë and davem. It is an institution that I too can thoroughly recommend (even after 28 years!!) Best wishes to you both

I'd like to share the following good advice, from Ogden Nash:

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up!

I second the request for photographs of the Happy Event, when it occurs

Congratulations! May your life together be filled with moments of bliss. Note that, from experience, the only thing better than finding your love with whom to share your life is to create a family with the same.

And I assume that you both are on the same side of the 'Balrog's wings' debate, surely, and if not, then there's a plan to resolve the issue before the big day?

Best wishes!

I am so happy for you both! But not nearly half as happy as you two are, I'll wager. Many thanks for sharing the good news and best wishes. You've made my day a rather pleasant one.

Many congratulations Lalwende and davem

(davem, I hope you had an easier time getting hold of a suitable Silmaril for the lady than old Beren had!)

Wow. . .and. . .

Wow. . .

That's wonderful news! Best I've heard in a long time. (But don't think for a moment that I will stand idly by and allow you to combine your reps!)

There absolutely must be some role or part for us of the BDs in the ceremony. At my own wedding, those who could not attend sent 'telegrams' (emails) that were read out at the reception -- any chance of the same??

Failing that, at the very least, maybe we could entice the happy couple into their first RPG: The Wedding of Lord Davem and the Lady Lalwende! It could be like the annual Birthday Party for the Downs and everyone could come in their BD character to wish the couple well. But where would it be set? The Shire? Rivendell? Lorien? Minas Tirith? Mordor?

"Then Aragorn was abashed, for he saw the elven-light in her eyes and the wisdom of many days; yet from that hour he loved Arwen Undomiel daughter of Elrond."

As Chesterton says... "Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline."

My heartiest congratulations to the both of you! My joyful prayers will certainly be with the two of you. May the sweetness of marriage bring its sweetest of sweetness to you.

And may I second Helen's request for pictures?
