1. 2.    Selecting heavy Walda, Roose? 

           You're precious, Walda, sweetling. 

           Yay! 

2. 7.   Sweet, handsome, woman. Rare, youthful, profitable woman. Say yes. 

3. 1.   So, happily Walda, really your prodigious waistline's served you. 

4. 3.   "Simple, heavy Walda." 

          "Roose, your protection..."

          "Walda, stop yapping." 

Honorable mention to 4, which I absolutely love, but technically Roose shouldn't be knowledgeable enough about Walda to say that until after the wedding vows.

Oh, great, I was wondering why no one was voting. 

There are about 6 hours till the deadline.

I just wanted to say that although I asked you to write Littlefinger's words, some of you apparently want to include Lysa's as well, so I will make that official now: 

You can write or include Lysa's words, too, and if you want an extension so that you can rethink your entry, just let me know. 

[Lady Blizzardborn]

Extension please!

ROUND SIX

 

1.       "I'm true (until I boff baby Cat.) Always."

           "What?"

2.       I'm truly, utterly infatuated, beloved, beautiful Cat Arryn Widow.

3.       It's true, ultimately I'm besotted.  Beauty, charm and wit.

4.       In trout union I belong, because childhood affection widens.

5.       Invincibility tempts us. It beckons!

          Barring calamitous aviation woes...

6.       I take unbelievably intense...beauty. (but Cat always) Whew.

7.       I'll talk until I become betrothed...can anyone witness?

8.       I’m true until intrepid bride “bails.” Come away, wife.

 

Since there are only 8 entries, I think it will be enough if you vote for three entries this time.

Deadline: 22 p.m. (Central European Time) on Thursday, the 23rd of June.

The last round will begin later today.

[Lady Blizzardborn]

1. 4.  In trout union I belong, because childhood affection widens. So like Littlefinger to be telling the truth and lying at the same time.

2. 1.  "I'm true (until I boff baby Cat.) Always."

          "What?"   Couldn't not vote for this. "baby Cat" cracked me up.

3. 7.  I'll talk until I become betrothed...can anyone witness? An excellent way for him to say nothing.

Well done to all the rest. 

[yomi]

First: 1.       "I'm true (until I boff baby Cat.) Always."

           "What?"

Second: 4.       In trout union I belong, because childhood affection widens.

Third: 5.       Invincibility tempts us. It beckons!

          Barring calamitous aviation woes...

ROUND SEVEN 

This is the last round and we haven’t seen a truly Northern wedding yet. We’ll make up for that by going even farther north than the North: beyond the Wall, where marriage customs – like so many other things – are very different.

On the way southward, Longspear Ryk (who is called that for a reason) stole Munda Tormundsdotter Tormund’s daughter, in accordance with the venerable wildling traditions (which tell us that the best time to steal a woman is when the Thief is in the Moonmaid).

Quote

“She broke his lip for him and bit one ear half off, and I hear he’s got so many scratches on his back he can’t wear a cloak. She likes him well enough, though. And why not? He don’t fight with no spear, you know. Never has. So where do you think he got that name? Har!”

Later we learn that Munda “Took that Longspear Ryk to husband”. So what was the actual wedding ceremony like? Was a weirwood involved?

There is one thing that we cannot doubt: that there was a wedding vow somewhere somehow, and it is your task to discover what the exact words were.

The acronym is: H U B E P N T A F.

The deadline: 22 p.m. (Central European Time) on Thursday, the 23rd of June.
