As Frodo and his friends walked through the door, the fanfare trumpets on both sides of the doorway rang out loud and clear announcing Frodo's presence to the crowd who all stood and turned towards the door watching as Frodo made his way down the alise, bowing to their new king as he passed them, and made his way up the stairs to where Gandalf and Quinn waiting for him.
Gandalf stood in front of Quinn and was the one to address Frodo while Quinn was left to hold the two golden jeweled crowns on a plush red pillow to place on top of Frodo and Angel's, when she entered the room, heads.
"Frodo Baggins, will you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of this kingdom according to the respectful laws and customs? Will you in your power always use law, justice and mercy to be executed in all your judgments?" As Gandalf asked Frodo these questions he paused for Frodo to answer each time before finally finishing adding "Then by the power vested in me, I now crown you Frodo Baggins, King. Long may you rule and prosper" as he let Quinn place the crown on Frodo's head.
As Frodo turned to face the assembled crowd he started the chant of "Long live the king!" that was echoed throughout the vast room.

"I will!" Frodo answer each question given to him, keeping swore to all on the truths. The hobbit felt newly important now with his new kingly title store upon him with the crown he got to wear now.
"LONG LIVE THE KING!" The entire crowd chanted along too and cheered in showing they had congratulated their new ruler.
"Mommy, Daddy, I wanna become royal and wear the big pretty crown too!" Goldie told her parents during the loud applause.
"Goldilocks, we've been over this; gotta married yourself a prince first before jumping onto something of that." Sam had to reminded that of his child.
"Will I make a good queen too?" Goldie asks her folks. Hearing such a silly request sounded like nonsense to the father hobbit. Was Goldie really serious about taking an interest of becoming royal blood too or was it just a phase that would someday pass within time?
"The best queen in the world!" Rosie said with a bright smile, supporting her daughter's sudden inspiration.
"Rosie don't!" Sam whispers to his wife, shaking his head no. He had his best reasons not to go along with it so it was not to be crushing Goldie's high hopes over it.
Of course, nobody heard what the Gamgee family members were saying at all during the applause, but they stop clapping right then and there when Emily and Angel through the door in their wedding dresses. They had look so beautiful, it was a lovely sight to see them in. So pretty, so gorgeous they were.
And it was Angel who was walking at the front with Emily following behind her. All there was left next was to be crowning Angel their queen so that the very next step after that was for the double wedding to start.
Quinn stood next to Frodo with the cushion pillow still holding the last crown on it. When Angel came to the very front standing, it was the hobbit's turn to be the one placing the crown on his wife's head. "By the sacred laws vested in me." Frodo said aloud in his announcement. "I pronounce you Angel; Queen!" He finished by putting the crown on Angel's head.
"LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!" The crowded audience echoed in the room, cheering and clapping.

As Frodo took center stage after being crowned king, Gandalf bowed to him before leaving to the other room where Angel and Emily were waiting to proceed into the room.
Legolas had stood far from the center as Frodo was crowned king not wanting to take away his moment in the spotlight. He had only made his way forward when Angel had been crowned meeting Emily at the bottom of the stairs happily handing her his hand taking her away from Gandalf who had walked down the ailse with her as part of her request for the wedding tradition of a man giving the woman away. Obviously none of her family was there to do it but because Gandalf was the first one she had met in Middle Earth and was the very reason she had met Legolas and the rest of their companions it seemed only fitting for the wizard to be the one to give her away.
In place of Gandalf, Aragorn had made his way out of the front row of the audience to Frodo and the others. It was he who was to preform the ceremony as King of Gondor since Frodo could not do it as his king of his own kingdom due to the fact that he was one of the members to be married in the double wedding.
"Friends, Citizens, You have all witnessed a momentous occassion of great importance that shall be forever remembered as a great day, the crowning of your king and queen, but there is one more wonderful event you will all bear witness to today. It is my distinguished pleasure as Aragorn, King Elessar of Gondor, to wed not only your king and queen but two more of my companions Prince Legolas of the Woodland Realm and Lady Emily of Narnia in holy matromony." Aragorn spoke in a proud loud and clear voice for everyone in the large room to hear.
"Frodo Baggins, King of this realm, is it your wish to take Queen Angel as your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others to hold onto her so long as you both shall live?" He asked first waiting a moment for Frodo to respond before asking Angel the same question and waiting for her to respond.
He then turned his attention to Legolas and Emily. "Legolas, Prince of the Woodland Realm, is it your wish to take Lady Emily as your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others to hold onto her for now and into eternity?" He asked. He changed it for his elven companion due to the fact that elves lived much longer than Hobbits or any other race and believed to be married long after each partner had died.
"I do." Legolas spoke proudly and clearly though he only kept his gaze on Emily who blushed but smiled happily.
Aragorn of course asked her the same question to which she happily answered "I do."
"Each couple has made their own private vows which they will now share with each other." Aragorn spoke indicating Frodo and Angel to speak first.

"I do!" Spoken the proud new king hobbit. "I do!" Angel also replied too smiling. The happy pair kept their eyes on each other even when it was Legolas and Emily's turns to answer to the 'I dos'
The couple casted their glance up over to Aragorn when it was time for them to share their own vows they were waiting on hearing. Angel and Frodo returned their attention back to each other. Frodo allowed himself to be the first one to go. "Angel, the day you came to The Shire from the first moment I met you, I knew you were the one meant for me. Since I can remember as a child, my mother used to tell me each one of us has our own guardian angel set to be our guide and protect us. I realized she was right when I found you. At the end of the third age, I was a broken hobbit; lost without hope. I gained pain both physically and mentally I thought would never come to healing...but then you came, I've felt healed! You had been the one to save me from the darkness I'd long from escaping! And in my heart, you are perfect to me. You are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with! And though you may live a longer lifespan than I will due to your bloodline of wizard race, I will never stop loving you."
Angel had never heard anything more beautiful than those touching vows and they all came straight from the hobbit's loving heart. The queen try to fight back her happy tears, but couldn't. "That was beautiful Frodo." She said to him. "AHEM!" Angel cleared up her throat and wiped the tears off her cheeks clean. It had been her turn up next. "I'd uhh...I just wanted to say that--" Angel stopped, thinking now it was best for everyone to knew as she went along during her vows. "I've never told this to anyone before, but...right away after I got the curse, I met an old lady who gave me the pair of gloves for free so I can hide them from the world. She once said to me I will find that someone whom will look past it's appearance; I'd never thought the someone I'd come looking for would be you Frodo." She confessed.
But that wasn't the end of it there, Angel kept on continuing. "I thought all I needed was helpers to bring me back home, dethrone my sister Scarla, break the curse and it would be the end of it. But just like the rules, plans have to make a change too; I've made new friends, and the days I've spend with them all, I didn't have to try hard to make good impressions. I felt like a real person rather than a princess. And I learn a lot; I learned true love can conquer anything as long as we believed hard enough. You show me that! Frodo...I'd find in you to be the best thing to ever happened in my life. Without you, I would never be completed! I love you very much and I am proud to become a Baggins!"

Legolas and Emily had turned to face Frodo and Angel as the two of them said their vows waiting their own turn but enjoying the sweet moment between Frodo and Angel. It was obvious they were destined for each other.
Finally when Aragorn turned and gestured for them to speak, the couple turned back and faced each other.
"Emily, from the day we first met the two of us were off to a rocky start that no one who knows us would ever guess that we would be standing here now pledging our hearts, souls, minds, and bodies together before everyone but I know there is no where else I'd rather be. Through our journey together we grew closer than I ever thought I could be with another person. Every day I wake and find myself with you will be a moment I will love and cherish as we go through the rest our lives together. You are my sunshine and the light of my life and I cannot imagine one day without you." Legolas spoke first causing Emily to tear up a little too but smile brightly.
"Legolas, I grew up my whole life thinking there would never be anyone who saw me as special or as the half that makes another person whole and though I wish I could say that all changed when I first met you, I can honestly say you've changed my whole life and despite hardships we may have had at the beginning, you've made my life much more fuller, happier, and better than I ever dreamed possible. There is no one I've ever loved before you or more than you and there is no one I'd rather spend the rest of my life with now and forever, I love you and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together."
Once the vows were completed, Aragorn turned to the couples and finished by saying "I have watched all four of you grow close together and I know from here on out, each day you spend together as husband and wife will be best days of your lives and it is with great happiness I now pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Legolas smiled and surprised Emily by taking her in his arms first nose kissing her before sharing a passionate kiss with her.

As Merry and Pippin watched from the crowd to witness the double wedding, each of them allowed the beautiful moments of everything that was going on sink in, from the moment Frodo and Angel were crowned kings and queens respectively to the moment when each of the couples were pronounced husbands and wives. As each of the couples shared their kisses, the two little hobbits' hearts had leaped with joy as they stood up to applaud for them.
Tears started to swell in Pippin's eyes. "I promised myself I wouldn't cry...I promised myself I wouldn't cry..." Then, breaking down, he starts sobbing and drying the tears away. Merry took notice of this and comforted him with a pat on the back and smiled, knowing as well that this was, indeed, a beautiful wedding, and it would be one that neither he or Pippin would ever forget.

After the vows were exchanged, the wedding recital was soon followed after that where the two newly wed couples shared their first waltz to the lyrics of:
There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
That was sung as a chorus of men and women from the onlooking crowd.
Thrand
As the party drew near the end, Emily and Legolas wished their companions farewell for it was time for Emily to leave and meet in the spot where Aslan would be waiting to bring her home and Legolas was going with her and much to the couple's surprise Gimli decided to join them as well and wanting at least one friend companion with him, Legolas happily obliged.
Aragorn accompanied them to where they met up with not only Aslan waiting for them but Thranduil as well who had obviously been forewarned by Elrond and had come to say a last sad goodbye to his son.
And that my friends is where this story ends and a new one begins. So farewell for now and stay tuned for the next adventure staring a whole new generation.
