Format: Poetry, Dribble
Genre: Romance
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Rose Cotton, Sam, Frodo

Creator's Notes: I began some of these dribbles for the "Canon Couples" card in 2012, and decided to see how many more of them I could complete this year.
It's my headcanon that as Deputy Mayor, Frodo performed some weddings, Sam's foremost among them.
Summary: Deputy Mayor Frodo Baggins proudly officiates at a wedding.

Frodo Officiates

Over years I watched as shy love began to bloom,
hoping for the day when their shyness was overcome.
My own fault that it was delayed,
dragging my friend into dark danger.
At the end of all things,
his thoughts were of her.
Now we are home.
I speak vows
to join
them.

Amazing! I can always imagine Frodo marrying them too and this is a great concise dribble to illustrate that! :)

Thank you!

Oh, I like this so very much! :) It's perfect! Although, I would contest Frodo thinking it was his "fault" - not contest that he WOULD think it, of course, for naturally he would - but I know it's not his fault! He didn't tell Sam to eavesdrop, after all! *grin*

Well, this is Frodo's POV, so he is going to be blaming himself the way he often did.

Oh yes, I know! It wasn't a criticism of you or of the story, just me saying that if I was there Frodo would be getting an earful from me about how it was Not His Fault! xD But I know of course *he'd* feel it was!

Poor Frodo! But I'm glad he got to officiate Sam and Rosie's wedding. :)

This is a touching poem.

Thank you very much!

I like this one. I can see Frodo feeling like that and it's neat how you have "them" meaning the married couple by itself in the last line.

[dreamflower]

*grin* Yes, that's one of the advantages of this format--the last word gets the most emphasis.

I often wondered if he officiated too! Such a sweet piece of writing. :)

[dreamflower]

It just seemed logical to me, if he was Deputy Mayor at the time, which he was, I can't imagine Sam wanting anyone else to do it.

What a lovely format for his thoughts and actions.

Thank you! This is one of my favorite poetry formats. It is simple, but has a lot of impact.

Wonderful dribble. I love Frodo's POV.

[dreamflower]

As soon as I looked at the pairing, I knew instantly the POV I wanted, as well as the situation.

I love this form, and you do them so well. A perfect dribble for this special day.

Lovely.

Oh, but I love this view of the Wedding from Frodo's POV, and this hint of movie-verse. It must have been a relief to see them wed indeed.
