Sunday Musings: Headcanons

Had a great time chatting about marriages last week! This week's topic is Courting!

What are the important parts of courting in Dwarven and Elvish culture? Do you think either has a strict set of steps to be followed? There seemed to be a few cases of demanding quests be completed in Silmarillion... could that be related?

And what about Legolas and Gimli! Do you think they tried to court each other on the road? Did they wait until the war was over? Did they just say "screw it!" and get hitched without any courting at all and scandalize their respective families? (Personally, I love all of these scenarios!)

Let's here what you think! Feel free to comment to this post and to each other. Headcanons are best when shared!
