Yes, I hadn't realized either that that was the wedding - haven't read the section for a while but remembered it as a sort of engagement announcement if anything. But it makes sense that Eomer would be able to marry them if anyone would. Odd to have a combination wedding/funeral - very Hamlet-like in some ways, Theoden's funeral baked meats coldly furnishing forth the marriage tables. Saves a good bit on the catering, though [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].
