Hi there MFP world, I have been given the task of choosing a creating costumes for me and the boyfriend for Halloween this year - the request being couple costumes from the hobbit or the lord of the rings trilogy. I was leaning toward Legolas and Gimli, because I think I'd make one excellent dwarf, but my SO wasn't feeling it. So let me have it, what do ya'll think the best LOTR couple costume would be?

(sewing them btw so availability to purchase is a nonissue)

    Seconded. You can pull off an elf.

    This makes the most sense. The only other couples I can even think of are Sam Gamgee and Rose, or Celeborn and Galadriel.

    Didn't Eowyn and Faramir hook up too?

    Although... one of you could go as the ring and you can have your choice of who the partner is.

    That person would most likely have a blast at the party too - everyone would want to hang out with the ring that rules them all!

    Thanks for the thoughts guys, keep 'em coming, but, just to be clear, doesn't necessarily have to be a "romantic" couple, hense legolas and gimli, or like Frodo and Sam, or whomever else. Thanks!

    Meh to the happy traditional couples ideas. I really liked your idea. Think outside the box! Go as Frodo and Gollum.

    I second this. You dress as the ring, your SO dresses as Gollum and refers to you exclusively as "my precious"
