I am married now, and I forgot this existed.



How strange it is that I find this chronicle mostly empty. I had forgotten it, so enveloped in the life I was leading. My, my, what I witnessed and went through since my last endeavor into marking my history, and this own entry is in and of itself late. 

 

As a testament to what I am, who I am, and the story I am leaving behind when I pass I should be clear. I was employed to escort a light of this world, a graceful and wondrous beauty, to Imladris. Funny how many times I failed to find that valley, only to simply be shown the way. I do believe I could not once in my life find the correct words to describe her. While I sat by her side in Rivendell, she and I grew fond of one another, and traveling back to Bree when our time in the valley had ended birthed a few of my most fond and bravest memories to this world. I will not perseverate, but it was a long trip where my days and nights were spent quite clearly at the side of an unbelievable person, in the most literal and flattering sense I can muster.

 

When we returned I commissioned her a ring of sapphire and diamond. It was created with her in mind, and I had never been so certain, and so scared. I trembled that she may say no, despite the words and poetry we had but shared with one another. She did not disappoint my selfish soul, and has still yet to ever do so. I must admit that I am so stricken with her. I find myself under her spell in a way that I do not believe is possible to recover from. If this bewitchment is true, cease it not I beg of you. Let me linger in the eternal she provides.

 

I felt ridiculous in my clothes for the wedding, but I wanted to look fitting and dashing for her. It embarrassed me, but I found myself forgetting as soon as I turned and saw her in her dress, and placed the ring on her finger. Radiant, benevolent, seeing her was like I had been graced by all holy spirits and beyond. The flowers were red and white, matching of my shirt and her gown, the grass was moist and the clouds were light gray. It was a perfect day. I feel remiss, I only had but the one friend to invite that my sainted wife did not already offer presence. I will not bog this entry with why many more were not requested, only to say that our union was not entirely approved of. 

 

Greengrove, a curious woods fellow came along at my request. I did not know him everlastingly or long, but he was kind to me, and seemed happy to attend. I was proud of myself when he showed, though it had not a thing to do with anything I personally accomplished. Cesistya and Eduwiges arrived and showed, and a few others such as Kolbrand and Ethuilon. I was graced with many faces, as uncomfortable as I get with crowds, and allowed the revelry to occur around me. I do hope, and somewhat fear, that I was not entirely sociable during the event, as I previously scrawled, I was quite taken with my bride. We received a generous amount of gifts, that we did not ask for, but such generosity has my spirits high for the fate of all people borne to this world. I will not list them, but many of said gifts now adorn the halls of our shared home.

 

It was absolutely terrifyingly amazing. I know not what else to say. I am taken from this world by the mere memory of it. The happiest day of my pathetic life.
