Drabble: The Wedding Planner

I've gotten caught up in the drabblefest on Axe_Bow. Here's my contribution:

The Wedding Planner
by Amedia

Aragorn groaned as the servant approached. What now? he wondered. Do the napkins not match the tablecloth? Are the bridesmaids complaining of their dresses? Has someone lost the ring?

"My lord, I have been reviewing the seating charts for the reception. Someone has placed Legolas and Gimli side by side! An elf and a dwarf! Surely there will be trouble."

Aragorn smiled, relieved. "Be at ease, good steward. I have already spoken to the parties in question, and they have promised to behave in a seemly fashion."

Indeed, they had promised dutifully, if reluctantly: no hand-holding, no footsie, no snogging.

*giggle* Aaawww ... I think the wedding could stand to be shook up a bit. Probably a dreadfully boring event otherwise.

*lol*

But footsie's the only thing to do when stuck at a wedding for a long time!

Hee. How do you suppose Aragorn would stop them if they did decide to do any of the above (or something even more daring?)

Perhaps with a hand ever-so-subtly placed on the hilt of his ceremonial sword? That is, if they weren't too involved to notice.
