Love and marriage are incredibly important within Tolkien’s works, and since I am getting married on the day this video releases, I wanted to discuss these things in the Legendarium! Friends, thank you all so much for the love and well-wishes, many blessings to you all! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
