Has anyone else found any information, perhaps in HoMe or elsewhere, on the weddings of hobbits and/or men in Middle-earth, beyond that mentioned already in this thread?

OK, I'll even push this one step further. Of the folk customs which actually exist (or used to exist) in our world, which do you think would fit in best in terms of a hobbit wedding. I am thinking of a folk custom such as 'hopping over a broom'. (I am talking about things that are fanciful speculation, with no literary basis in Tolkien.)

Yes, I will admit that I have an RPG character down in the Shire who is planning a wedding, and I am looking for ideas which are at least consistent with what we know of hobbits!
