Tintalle

(Quenya) " Yes, oh yes. My heart is overflowing. Most willingly and humbly do I add, before Eru Iluvatar, and all our witnesses, that  I have loved you from my youth, and that I will have you until the breaking of the world, and beyond."

It was just us, with Parnard and Marawendi as our witnesses. We called upon Tintalle, Lady of the Stars, and Eru Iluvatar, as our people before us had done. Our words were simple and short, we needed no long oaths from each other. 

(Quenya) "Before Tintalle, and humbly, before Eru Iluvatar himself, he who awakened our people on the shores of Cuivienan, I ask you to be my wife, until the world is broken and made anew, and beyond. Will you have me? "

We waited for the stars to show, a sign that Tintalle was watching, was approving of us. We believed that she did. Though beautiful in itself, Anor seemed to take an extraordinarily long period to sink below the western horizon that eve. Then there were clouds, blue-grey with hints of gold, lazily passing overhead. All three of us scanned the sky, and were rewarded with an occasional glimpse of a few stars in the passing cloud gaps. 

"Perhaps one day we will only have starlight again?" Estarfin said.
