Chapter Three: The Wedding
On July
18 that year, Nimbus and Legolas finally had their wedding. Everyone was
there. Since Nimbus's father was dead, Beokia was going to walk her down
the isle.
Seated
in the front row were Arwen, Frodo, Pippin, Merry, Sam, Elrond, Gimli,
and someone in a heavy cloak covering their face. No one knew who it was,
but then again, no one really cared. This was the most waited event in
a long time.
Music
started to play, and everyone cranned their necks to see a group of female
elves walk down the isle dressed in pale yellow dresses. Legolas stood
on his toes trying to see Nimbus.
Then
a group of male elves walked down, some looking happy, others solemn. They
reached the altar a few seconds after the female elves, and took their
spots. Arwen nodded at them, and they adjusted their order.
Finally,
the music changed, and everyone turned fully around in their seat. Legolas
smiled from ear to ear as he saw Beokia walking Nimbus down the isle. Her
blonde hair was cascading down her shoulders, and it was topped with the
white flowers.
Beokia
smiled at everyone as he continued walking Nimbus. They finally reached
the altar, and Nimbus faced Legolas. She was smiling, and tears of joy
streamed down her face. Legolas wipped a tear off, and they faced the priest.
"Dearly
Beloved. We are gathered here today to join these two elves, Legolas Greenleaf
and Nimbus Eveningstar in holy matrimony. If anyone has any objects, speak
now, or forever hold your peace."
The
priest glanced around the room. No one showed any signs of wanting the
wedding to stop. Everyone wanted the two to get married.
"If
no one has any objects, then I would like to have the couple exchange their
vows."
Nimbus
looked at Legolas and smiled.
"I'll
go first," she said.
The
priest nodded and Nimbus took a deep breath.
"I
know that Legolas and I have been through a lot threw the last ten years.
I've learned that I can always trust him, and that I do, indeed, want to
spend the rest of my life with him. He's the elf of my dreams, and I never
want to lose him..."
Nimbus
started to cry, and choked for a second. Legolas set his hand on her shoulder.
"We
don't have to do this if you don't want to," he told her.
Nimbus
shook her head.
"I
love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," she said.
"I guess that's the end of my vows."
Legolas
smiled at her, then started.
"Nimbus,
I was in love with you from the moment I met you. You were a cure from
the life I've been living, and I needed that. Then, we sort of broke up,
when I thought that you were a witch, but then, when I saw you on that
tree. Your hair was just like it is now, beautiful," Nimbus blushed, "and
you drew me to you. I don't want to lose you, and I never have. You've
been my life for the last ten years, and you've taught me so much. I love
you, and I will for all time."
The
priest was teary-eyed at this time, as well as everyone in their seats.
"I
now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Legolas
leaned forward and kissed Nimbus's lips like he never had before. There
was so much passion, that Nimbus never wanted to let go, but when she did,
there was an endless wave of applause. She smiled at Legolas, ready and
willing to face any challange that came their way.
Slowly,
the couple walked together for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Greenleaf.
As they pasted by, Gimli lost control and ran to the two. He hugged them
both, and walked with them to the palace for a feast that no one there
would ever forget.
