Aragorn & Arwen

And they lived happily ever after :)

I had so much fun with Arwen´s dress and hair! I was a bit torn whether I should give her a hair comb, but I liked this version best without the hair comb just below the crown.

“It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.”

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King (The Grey Havens)

i know this seems like this blog is themed around Goldberry and a little of Tom Bombadil but it's just that I only got to her part in Fellowship and loved it so much

i'm gonna continue my reading and find more characters to love i promise
