You are cordially invited to join us for a special celebration. We have been blessed – there’s a baby on the way. Filled with boundless joy, we want to share our happiness with all our friends. The celebration honoring proud mother Míriel Therinde will be held at Ezellohar in three days’ time. We will gather together at the second mingling of the lights. A feast will be held with song and dance to rejoice at the coming of the baby prince of the Noldor. May the light of the Trees shine on mother and son always.
Proud parents-to-be
Finwë and Míriel
