I'm not even going to touch on Beren and Luthien since most of you all-time-great essay writers already handled it (especially Squatter).

In reference to Aragorn and Arwen, I was under the impression that they weren't bonded in the fashion described in the quote until after they were officially married. I could be wrong, but if the quote means like it says: that you're now to stay with that person for "1000's upon 1000's of years" then how would Arwen still have the choice to go to Valinor? Wouldn't she have to cleave to Aragorn? I haven't read much of the histories or Unfinished Tales yet (aren't I a disgrace? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]), so this is just my opinion, not based on much fact.
