A lurker chimes in since she's re-reading the trilogy and developing a newfound respect for Gimli...like any intersting fictional character, he changes greatly throughout the course of the story and I think his encounter with Galadriel was a catalyst for that change.
And I agree that it is a pure, courtly devotion, not love as we moderns would know it.
