To those who are not in my icon family/doesn't know about it.
This is a wedding project done for my icon family, so you apply to the above, please ignore this journal.
However, if you care to congratulate my dear cousin's marriage with his love, we will very much appreciate a word of congratulation

:damphyr: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of Eru and Valar, and before these friends and family, to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is an honorable and beautiful estate, instituted by Eru and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but instead with love, respect, friendship, and honor. Into this estate these two persons present come now to be joined.

Greetings family. This is Nelyo, the host of this ceremony speaking


------------------

I still can't believe it... I'm going to marry Amarie! I wrote a letter to her, and asked her for her hand:
A Letter to AmarieNargothrond, FA 465
My dearest Amarië!
I do not know if I still have the right to call you that - not "dearest", for you  will ever remain the dearest one in this world to me, but "my"...
I  still remember your face when we parted. That memory will be forever carved deeply into my mind. The pain in your eyes haunted me across the cruel ice of Helcaraxë, freezing my heart more than the wailing wind.
You  did not weep. You knew I wouldn't be able to look at your tears. You knew I had to leave, and didn't want to make it harder to me. But the unshed tears fell like heavy stones into my soul.
You let me go.
I had to.
The  new lands called to me with a voice of freedom and adventure. I could not stay behind. Both restlessness and responsibility to my people drew me forwards, into exile.
I don't regret my decision. It made me who I am now. Through hardship, I found purpose. I knew joy and pain, the thrill of battle, the headiness of vi
and she said "yes"!!! :dance: '---yes.' by kittykatkanie

So the wedding preparations are underway! The big day is November 22nd.

- :iconkittykatkanie: will host the ceremony
- :iconninquetari: already sent the invitations   Invitation by ninquetari
- :iconladybrookecelebwen: is my best man, and organizes a bachelor party: He wrote a wonderful best man speech as well: Best Man SpeechThis is the first times I’ve ever made a speech like this, so forgive me for any mistakes I make. To my dear new sister-in-law, I welcome you to this family. To my brother, the best wishes for your married life. Though I may joke about it at times, and I’ve yet to introduce any of you to my wife, my marriage is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. May you both experience that joy in life!
To the rest of the guests, well, this has been a long time coming, hasn’t it? From the very first time any of us saw Finrod and Amarie together, we all knew this day was coming. They are perfect for each other, and I’ve been expecting this day from the very first time they saw each other. No matter how much he blushed when I teased him about it, Amarie, it was clear that he loved you and you him. Now, I’m trying not to cry as I say this, but Amarie…I think you were what gave him hope through those long difficult years, and as a younger brother,

- :iconburning-nightingale: will host the rehearsal dinner
- :icontalktob3cks: is our maid of honour and organizes a hen night for the girls Hello Ladies!This is an invitation for all of my female family members at :iconNoldorinFamilyStore:
As you know, :icondreams-of-arda: is FINALLY getting married to his long suffering fiancee', Amarie. As maid of honor, the responsibility of organizing a hen party has fallen to me. Therefore, all the Noldorin ladies are invited to attend .
After much brainstorming, and a bit of Googling, I propose that we meet for a fun, carefree night of girl-bonding time. Most of us have spent too much time lonely, dead, or both, so it's time for some pampering! Let's break out the fingernail polish and jello shots.
I thought it might be fun to play a couple of games, such as "Never have I Ever." Does anyone have any questions they want t be sure are asked?
:iconGlorrosaelin: has generously offered to bake a cake. Any other help or suggestions are welcome!
ooc: I liked :iconLadyBrookeCelebwen: 's idea of writing a story, but I am not going to promise anything spectacular.
