Given my Elves' tendency to eat and drink a lot, I must proclaim today's word a dangerous one....

Word of the Day--quaff )

Nice drabble Dawn, but homely??? Poor Nerdanel! Homely? I never thought she was homely, just - just - DIFFERENT!!

Oh, well, Feany loves her.

Yeah, in either MR or Peoples of ME (I always get them mixed up), Tolkien says that people were surprised that Feanor married Nerdanel because she was not very beautiful.

He, of course, thinks she is, and that--to me--is all that matters.

PS- I will try to find the reference later and give you the exact quote, if you are interested :)

Aww! Happiness! "Then Feanor got drunk and asked Nerdanel to marry him and they lived happily ever after."

Or, in Dawn's version, they ran off and "married" with no one's knowledge or consent and then lived happily ever after.

I never said he asked in a conventional way. ;D

Hehehe....

True, you did not.

I'm not quite sure how he would have asked that, but knowing Feanor, he would have thought of a way to make it sound nice :)
