I had three reasons to choose this acro: The first is that I liked it (it was generated by a random letter sequence generator). The second is that you all are such talented acrophobes that I thought I might just as well introduce a bit of challenge for you all. The third reason is that I thought a marriage vow, as a kind of promise, could be addressed to the other person directly - so some of you might want to use the second person singular in some of the vows, and I decided to make it easier for you. (Of course, there are other ways to use the Y's as well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yomi Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I like the letters, I just fear that my entry is too obvious and not all that much of a vow. Then again my first round entry was more of a vow than my secondround one, but the second round one got at least some votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia H. Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Round 5 1. So, happily Walda, really your prodigious waistline's served you. 2. Selecting heavy Walda, Roose? You're precious, Walda, sweetling. Yay! 3. "Simple, heavy Walda." "Roose, your protection..." "Walda, stop yapping." 4. Shy, happy whispers reveal your plumpness was singularly yielding. 5. She has weighty recommendation, yeasty promise, winsome silliness. Yes! 6. Soon, heir will rise. Year - pregnant with son? .. Yes! 7. Sweet, handsome, woman. Rare, youthful, profitable woman. Say yes. 8. Sufficiently hefty, we're rich! You plumped wisely. Sincerely yours. 9. Shall happily wed, Roose! You'll pay, Walder...substantially, yes! To make it simple, vote for four entries even though there are only nine entries at the moment. I hope to get a couple of more yet. The deadline: 10. p.m. Central European Time on Tuesday, the 14th of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia H. Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 ROUND SIX We are going to travel across Westeros once again - to witness a wedding almost secretly done: the wedding between Lysa Arryn, widow of the powerful Jon Arryn and Petyr Baelish, aka Littlefinger, Lord Paramount of the Trident and Lysa's long-time lover, at the Baelish ancestral seat (an old flint tower located on the smallest of the Fingers). Littlefinger’s words are hardly trustworthy, so he may have said and promised almost anything. But what did he say? For the moment, only the acronym is known, so we need experts to uncover the rest. The acronym is: I T U I B B C A W The deadline: 10. p.m. Central European Time on Tuesday, the 14th of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
