Well, you lot are lucky to have known Merry even had a wife!
I have the old Allen and Unwin edition in which Estella doesn't rate a mention. I recently bought the HarperCollins edition, to save my much-loved and-thumbed A&U copy and whatddya know! A wife for Merry! I was relieved because I, too, had read that bit in the Appendices. I think JRR just forgot. And remember how much writing and re-writing he did. Can you blame him? Let's keep this simple, guys. : - )
