This has to be the first wedding one-shot I have written between Frodo and an OC. I hope it turns out all right.

Frodo stood before a tall, arched doorway, and before the doorway was a door made from yew bark. He knew what awaited him on the other side. Amberly. She was his guide, but also his friend. If only his family could see him, and his friends, for what he was about to do meant… well, it meant the next stage of his journey.

He took a deep breath. It was time. He could do this. He exhaled, ready to open the door. When he did, the door opened on its own, revealing an aisle with red roses. As he walked down the aisle, he looked up. Amberly was also walking down an opposite aisle, right to him. He stopped before tall figure that was Eru Ilúvatar.

Frodo turned his gaze to Amberly. She looked so lovely. And when they're eyes met, he knew. He just knew she was the one for him. At last, they stopped before Eru. When the ceremony began, Frodo looked over at the group: the elves had gathered, but also the Maiar, which included Gandalf. Frodo sighed. It was a shame their Fellowship wasn't there to witness… he looked up at Eru, hoping He would understand.

"Frodo, look at the waterfall," Eru said, pointing to a waterfall on Frodo's side of the room. Indeed, there was a waterfall. Frodo was stunned and in awe. More people were arriving at the large chamber, including the members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Frodo grinned in understanding, and yet confusion took over.

"Why… how are they here?" Frodo asked.

"When Eru helped Gandalf break Saruman's spells," Amberly explained, "the barrier between worlds was open." She added, hoping Eru understood, "It's possible to travel to Valinor from Middle-earth, even though it is a hidden land. But if we go to the Timeless Halls… I'm not sure what would happen."

"Everything will be revealed in time," Eru said. He spoke to Frodo and Amberly, "This ceremony is for you both, and will be the first marriage from two worlds. We shall begin with the vows and…"

"WAIT! Wait," Bilbo rushed up to Eru, Frodo and Amberly. Behind him were Thorin and Company. "I can't let you do this… not until I give my blessing." Bilbo told Frodo and Amberly, "Good luck to you both." He proceeded to sit down with Frodo's family and friends. The dwarves followed, also giving their blessings.

"Frodo, Amberly." Eru told them, "You may begin your vows."

"Frodo," Amberly said, getting his attention, "you have been naïve ever since I first met you. At first, I thought you needed a guide, but you're more than that. You believed it was possible that you could find a wife. When Eru first told me this, I nearly thought it was rash. But you held onto that idea. And here we are."

Frodo looked behind him in time to see Sam, Merry and Pippin standing behind him. And just in time, for Pippin's sniffed a little too loudly. Frodo grinned at them, "I need to speak to her."

"Her who, cousin?" Merry asked. He realized, "Oh, you mean her?" He pointed to Amberly.

"Oh. Let's go. Come on," Sam told Merry and Pippin, shooing them away. Frodo chuckled softly. It was good that he still had his friends.

"But why can't we…" Pippin was cut off by Merry.

"Come on, Pippin. Let's find a seat," Merry said. Frodo watched his cousins and Sam as they joined the Fellowship in the front row. Frodo returned his gaze to Amberly. He knew what to say, what to tell her.

"Amberly, when we first met, and then also being bonded, I nearly forgot who I was or what I was doing. Then you stayed with me, taking me to Valinor." Frodo sighed. "This bond we share, it's more than either of us. Something I nearly thought was hard to believe. But you helped me through the pain and my healing. You came back, even though… I can hardly find the words to say." He was met with slight giggles from the audience. He admitted to the dark haired hobbitess in front of him, "What I can say is I love you, Amberly."

"Yes, I knew as much," She whispered in his ear, "I love you, too."

"I know," he whispered back to her.

"And here," Eru said with joy, "I present Mr. and Mrs. Frodo Baggins. Look at your hands." Frodo did, seeing a ring of light surrounding his right ring finger. He turned to Amberly, who also had a ring of light enclosing her right ring finger. Eru said to Frodo and Amberly, "That will be complete as soon as you kiss, for the bond you both share is strong."

Frodo didn't have to think twice. He leaned in and kissed Amberly on the lips. Once again, this time especially, it was worth it. Three years they had a friendship that meant more than what they thought. More than once did they nearly thought it was a dream, and it very nearly became one. No. It still felt like a dream, something that neither expected. And yet, here they were: Amberly in a flowing white dress and Frodo feeling like he just won his heart's desire. At the end of their long kiss, the cheers and applause came through. As they walked down the center aisle, holding hands, Frodo looked on from Amberly to Boromir. The man gave him a knowing expression. Maybe it was all they needed, to part as friends.

Frodo was drawn back to the present, the moment he and Amberly arrived at the reception and were greeted by friends and family. Given the whole experience of what he just went through, Frodo was amazed he was still standing. He never expected marrying someone, but Eru gave him and Amberly His blessing, but then so did Bilbo and his friends. Was that right? Did he follow the right path?

Frodo peered over at Amberly. He understood now. He would need her through these times. Even when they shared a piece of wedding cake together, and danced for hours at a time, he realized he couldn't be parted from Amberly now. He loved her and that's what mattered most in his life. And through the trials and tribulations to come, it was only a matter of time before they would prove their love to each other.

And that's what they would do together.

…

Three Years Later…

A small curly, brown haired hobbit boy ran through the sweeping green grass. He just turned three and already he was enjoying wandering across the open fields. He wasn't trying too hard. He loved messing with his father, enough so they could play in the grass. He shrieked in joyful laughter as his father caught up to him, carrying him across one shoulder, before catching the toddler before he fell off.

The boy's father was Frodo Baggins, who looked back a couple of feet from where his wife Amberly cradled their newborn baby girl, while grasping their second two-year-old child, also a boy and the hobbit boy's twin brother. Frodo returned their slippery son back to the hobbit house.

"How's Missy doing?" Frodo asked his wife.

"She's asleep," Amberly said, tenderly.

Frodo chuckled. As he set the hobbit boy down, Frodo asked his and Amberly's twin sons, as he sat down on a nearby wood bench, complete with floral blue pillows acting as cushions, "Sam, Drogo, it's time you heard about the quest for the Lonely Mountain and our cousin Bilbo's journey with a company of thirteen dwarves and a wizard named Gandalf the Grey. But here, Gandalf goes by another name, and that name is Olórin."

The End.
