Summary: The coin metaphor goes literal.
Notes: For magog_83, from her prompt 'An Ealdor tradition.' I like to think this is the same Merlin and Arthur from Dawning, some years down the road, although the two stories aren't related. Thanks to themadlurker for the beta. If you prefer, read

<3 Thank you very much.

Aww, that's so lovely ♥ Loved the interpretation of the coins--it make sense that it's popular in Ealdor because they can't afford rings there.

When I was mulling the prompt over, I googled country traditions of the time, and that kind of wedding ceremony, with halves of coins, was the first thing that I found. I wonder if the show's creators were aware of that when they started with the coin metaphor? :3

Thank you for reading!

This is gorgeous. I love your take on the two sides of the same coin concept. Gives me warm fuzzies.

::grins:: Real marriage ritual for country folk, too, back in the day. I think Merlin would have been aware of the suggestion of it from the very beginning.

So glad you enjoyed the story. :D Thank you!
