There are numerous marriages in Tolkien’s works – but little practical description of the wedding ceremonies themselves, especially in the canonical books. To help authors looking to include wedding ceremonies in their fics, I have gathered a number of resources that may provide insight and inspiration. \n\n''Credits:'' As usual, my thanks to Gwynnyd for taking my plaintive requests for pointers to relevant websites covering 'real life' mediaeval culture as a cue to provide me with a wealth of source materials – and for putting up with me tying myself in knots while I tried to work out just what kind of horribly complex ceremonies would be needed to legitimise the marriage of a Gondorian Prince and the sister of the (then unmarried) King of Rohan. Also thanks to Altariel for providing the correct web address for the excellent source of information on Norse weddings (which I knew existed from the number of broken weblinks to it that I encountered).\n\n[[Click to show chapter 1: Introduction|TFARA.html#%5B%5BWedding%20Sourcebook%201%5D%5D]]\n[[Click to show chapter 2.
