like no other our couple hascome together from their very different paths to embark on a new journey – the journey of magical marriage.
We gather under the watchful gaze of the Sun, the moon and the sea to honor the
One Ring that binds love has brought you together, crossing the distances between the worlds.
Vows
Just as Frodo and Sam stood side by side,
facing the challenges of Mordor, you too will face the challenges and joys of

To Him
“as Aragorn vowed to Arwen:
“I embrace your choice, and I commit to this destiny of our love, waking
in the shadow of my Númenorean ancestors that have given me such long life
To Her
as Arwen said to Aragorn:
“I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this
world alone. I choose a mortal life because of you.” I promise to be your
guiding star, lighting your way through even the darkest nights.”
Idos
In the spirit of Middle-earth’s
finest traditions Do you come here freely, without reservation to pledge your
troth to each other, promising to cherish and protect one another through all
the adventures and challenges that lie ahead?
There are many rings
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor
where the Shadows lie.
As the Ring is to Sauron, unbreakable and eternal. So too is your love to each other unbreakable
Just as the One Ring was a symbol of both power and responsibility, these rings are tokens of your eternal love and the promise you make to each other.
Closing
Young they are, and yet… have stood…
Like planted hearts under the trees of Valinor for so long
That they have become as one…
Deep rooted in the soil of Middle Earth
Impervious to orc mischief, and Strong like Meethreel
May their bond endure in ordinary, and everyday ways
For it is not great power that holds evil at bay, but small acts of kindness and love
May the winds of the Valar carry your laughter, may the earth of Aman always support your feet, and may the light of the Two Trees forever illuminate your path. May your love story be sung by the bards of all races, and your legacy remembered through the ages, much like the tales of the Eldar.
Kiss
By the power vested in me by the Valar and the peoples of Middle-earth, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may seal this bond with a kiss worthy of legends.
