Marriage in Middle-earth I (happy)

[Manardariel]

Revising this tread....

So, Sam and Rosie. Yes, they were such a wonderful couple. What I love about that one is it shows how very, very easy love can be. Without any giving-up-immortality, or killing-off-nazguls. It´s just a very sweet, very normal "boy meets girl" thingy. Sam and Rosie are both so down to earth, it makes one very jealous.

But there´s also an aspect Tolkien seemed to like in Marriage aspects: waiting. Rosie had to wait for Sam, Arwen for Aragorn... I guess it´s another link to those old myths, where the guys go out killing off dragons to marry their loves. It actually reminds me of the Oddysee, which does not fit, but I think it´s true!
