Even [or especially] while celebrating the nuptials of Mr. and Mrs. Niennamendacil.

(I'd hold off on posting pics until they're back from their honeymoon, but they're all over Facebook already from just about everyone in attendance.)

MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO MY SISTERBIRD AND MY HONORARY BIG BROTHER!

Excellent!

Many congratulations to both, and my prayer for a long and happy life together.

Boromir88 · 06-27-2012, 10:24 AM

Pictures are everywhere, but I just have to put up a couple of favs...like teaching Wilwa the electric slide

It was a beautiful wedding and much love to the bride and groom.

Galadriel55 · 06-27-2012, 10:27 AM

Congratulations!!!

My best wishes to you both!

Bethberry, beware - you'll be pestered for details the next smial moot!

PS: looks like you all had loads of fun there!

Kuruharan · 06-27-2012, 10:44 AM

Huzzah and huzzah again!

Best wishes now and for all your days to come!

Sincere and merry congratulations.

So did you mention the Downs/Werewolf at any point in the ceremony?

Some of the guests were muttering about the one ring during the ceremony.

And there is a picture of werewolf footprints on the dance floor.

I had a fantastic time, the day was perfect, the bride and groom were adorably wrapped up in each other--but not to the complete exclusion of guests--there were several Party Trees, and, well, it was simply an honour to be there and great to be amongst Downers met and previously unmet. Pictures coming shortly, as the couple now have spoken.

Oh, and, there were jokes about Aragorn and Legolas coming in the van.

Wow, congratulations you two!

Pitchwife · 07-02-2012, 07:55 AM

Kudos, you did it! Congratulations and best wishes, you two!

Formendacil · 07-02-2012, 11:10 AM

Thanks everyone.

It was a fantastic day. Things came off almost without a hitch, the weather was perfect, and a lot of fun was to be had. Especially where the fun was to be had, it was excellent to have so many Downers in attendance.

And, to answer Eomer, I am afraid that no particular mention of the Downs was made at any formal point, but the peculiar feature of Downermoots I have attended is that Tolkien and the Downs itself have a decidedly low profile in conversation... for whatever reason. Besides, with Boro and Fea in the wedding party wearing jade that's a close ringer for Barrow-downs "ghastly green," did we really need to state the obvious?
