Yeah, Celeborn and Galadriel did nothing for me...or for each other from what I get out of reading LOTR. The Sil doesn't have a romantic story to tell of them either, unless it wasn't memorable and I missed it. Hopefully there's some romance somewhere in History of Middle Earth I haven't read yet. Anyway Celeborn is either a trophy husband or one of those behind the scenes inspirations that make leaders great and never great credit.
As for Eowyn and Faramir...well, I like a little fire in a relationship. After all she is a warrior. Give the kid a break. Just about everyone's had one of those unreturned loves and maybe it makes some of us just a little uncomfortable reading about one that goes as public as Eowyn's. I think she's rather brave to have laid out her feelings and risked rejection. I think Eowyn and Faramir complement one another and had an interesting and passionate relationship.
