Yeah, I love that link. All of the information it taken directly from Morgoth's Ring, one of the best books in the HoME. Personally, I think it's partly due to our modern-day cynicism that we assume those marriages were arranged. I know that for me it was hard to believe at first that all of them could be for love. THen when you start reading more of the background information on Middle Earth, such as what's documented in the HoME, you start to understand that maybe in this ideal world they were.
