This tale bears much in common with the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen. Aragorn went through similar difficulties with getting permission to marry in Lothlórien, which is sacred to the Elves, and indeed it is documented in The Silmarillion that Elrond’s initial reaction to having relatives of Aragorn trampling through his woods was “Oh hell no.”
The wedding itself is said to have been resplendently magnificent, though during the reception, there was an inebriated dwarf who was said to have relieved himself in the pristine Spring of Crystal, from which Galadriel refilled her mirror, causing her to lament that “the mirror never worked correctly after that.”
Weeks later, Save the Ents League was up in arms, claiming that the wedding had destroyed the environment and killed Ents that were as old as the First Age. Arwen was called an “immortality-rejecting whore” and “Lover of Men.” Likewise, many colorful insults were hurled at Aragorn, including “douchegoblin,” “dwarfwagon” and even thrak-ulûkderp, an insult in the Black Speech, the meaning of which I will not utter here.
