For Elven marriages in Valinor and in Middle-earth during the Second through Fourth Ages.

We don't know what the actual wedding vows of the elves are, but we can guess. The Sindarin vows are for marriages in Middle-earth during the Second, Third, and Fourth Ages. The Quenya vows are for marriages in Valinor and Elves that are Noldorin or Vanyarin.

At Betrothal

Groom/Bride: I give you this silver ring with my love, and I promise to marry you. (The Groom/Bride give the other a silver ring. Then the other gives a silver ring, repeating the promise.)

The Sindarin Version: Le annon gorf gelebren hen a veleth n�n, a gweston le bestad.

The Quenya Version: Corma sina ar melmenya antanyel, ar vestalva vandanya n�va.

At the Terminating of Betrothal

Groom/Bride: I return this ring to you; I will not marry you/there will be no marriage. (They give back their silver rings.)

The Sindarin Version: Le ad-annon gorf hen; le �-vestathon.

The Quenya Version: Corma sina enantanyel, l� vesta n�va.

Groom and Bride together: We destroy the tokens of our love, and we will never marry. (They melt their silver rings.)

The Sindarin Version: �-echedim in naid meleth v�n, ar �-vestatham an-uir.
