After eating the cake is bought out, a beautiful masterpiece made to look like a geode. Music starts up and Thorin stands offering a hand "Would you give the honour of the first dance my love?" I nod slipping my hand into his "I would love to." we sweep out onto the dance floor gliding about in each others arms. I can't stop smiling leaning into Thorin happily kissing him several times through out the dance. A few others  

When the song ends I curtsey as my father walks over tapping Thorin on the shoulder "May I steal my daughter for a dance?" 
"Of course." 
"I am so happy for you my dear, I am sorry that you won't be ruler of Calcite but your brother will make an excellent King and you clearly are very happy. I couldn't be prouder of you." he presses a gentle kiss to my forehead "I'll let you get back to your husband." 

I walk back over to Thorin but get ambushed by Attar and Ranon "We have asked the band to play our song. Come on." I roll my eyes letting them lead me back onto the dance floor just as the music starts up again a very familar melody drifting through the room. Out of the corner of my eye I can our parents laughing slightly while Gandalf smiles broadly. Thorin gives me a confused look while the three of us start dancing like we used to do at every ball back home.

Giggling like children we weave in and out of one another past memories of home drifting through my mind. The song comes to an end and the three of collapse into giggles as the dwarves start a lively group dance thats very loud and roudy but most people look like they're having fun except a few of the elves who look uncomfortable. Kissing Thorin I drift over to Bard hugging him, Tilda and Sigrid. "You look nice." he chuckles "Thank you.

"And both of you look amazing. It is a shame Bain isn't here." Bard smiles "He sends his apologies but he is busy training." I nod "I'm glad he's found something he loves." Bard smiles nodding while I turn to Sigrid and Tilda "Would you like to dance?" they both nod and we spin around in the corner laughing. Thorin walks over smiling faintly "May I steal you for another dance?" Sigrid and Tilda giggle nodding while I take his hand in mine dancing once more.

Most of the guests are tipsy or fully drunk by late evening but still happily dancing. I sit next to Thorin leaning my head on his shoulder smiling happily "I love you Ely, my Queen." I giggle kissing his cheek "I love you too Thorin, my King." he chuckles before groaning. "Oh no, I think speeches are about to start." I follow his gaze and sure enough Fili and Kili have climbed up onto a table with Ranon and Attar and are calling for attention, this should be fun.
