While searching through the archives, a Middle-earth News intern stumbled across some very interesting video footage of coverage of Arwen and Aragorn’s wedding. Our own Gwanod of Dol Amroth reported live from Minas Tirith with interviews about the fashions, the celebrities, and the political and financial worries of the citizens.

We also uncovered some advertisements for Royal Wedding Memorabilia.
Items like these were so popular, that they sold out immediately.
We’ll keep our intern searching the archives for other footage of famous events. What did you think of this glimpse into Middle-earth’s history?
Share with your Fellowship!

Lily’s first experience with Tolkien was when the eccentric Mrs. H performed all of the characters from The Hobbit in her seventh grade class. In high school, she felt obliged to decline a second date with a boy who said he had no interest in reading The Lord of the Rings. In college, she unwisely decided to reread her beloved copy of The Hobbit during finals week, with only semi-disastrous results.
When not writing for Middle-earth News, Lily tries not to unnerve her coworkers and family with her extreme geekery, but somehow, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, superheroes, Disney movies, and of course, Tolkien, seem to have relevance in EVERY conversation.
