Guinevere is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
For me it is obvious that Gimli's feelings for Galadriel are a typical example of medieval courtly love and adoration. Apparently many people nowadays cannot picture such a thing anymore...
See this thread Gimli and Galadriel especially the posts of Kalimac (#9) about courtly love and littleman poet (#15) about the Virgin Mary !
