Tolkien=Matchmaker?

[Manardariel]

I totally agree that Elrond/Celebrian was anarranged marriage for political alliance. I know that in the UT it says something a bit different, but who are we kidding?? I mean Lorien&Rivendell, two most powerfull strongholds of the elfs in ME, united. That cannot have been a marriage for love. If you ask me, Galadriel was behind that one. But that´s just my general opinion.

However, I do NOT agree on the other two.
Eowyn/Faramir is the cutest and most touching part in LotR and the best romance Tolkien ever wrote... okay, besides Beren and Lúthien. But apart from that. I love the way Faramir "rescues" Eowyn from her desolation and lets her hope and love again. That is just sooo touching.

Arwen&Aragorn? Nice, and brilliant in the movies, but still just a copy of Beren and Lúthien. I liked it, I don´t think Aragorn could have maried a normal person, but still.
