’I will take the Ring,’ he said, ‘though I do not know the way.’

“Do you remember when we first met? I thought I had strayed into a dream. Long years have passed… You did not have the cares you carry now. Do you remember what I told you? You said you’d bind yourself to me, forsaking the immortal life of your people. And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. I choose a mortal life.” – Arwen Undómiel, The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

The Silmarillion aesthetic | Indis the Fair

There was a fair lady of the Vanyar,
Indis of the House of Ingwë, golden-hairedand tall, and in all ways unlike Míriel.

She
had loved Finwë in her heart, ever since the days when the Vanyar and
the Ñoldor lived close together. In one of his wanderings Finwë met her
again upon the inner slopes of Oiolossë, the Mountain of Manwë and Varda; and her face was lit by the golden light of Laurelin that was shining in the plain of Ezellohar
below. In that hour Finwë perceived in her eyes the love that had
before been hidden from him. So it came to pass that Finwë and Indis
desired to be wedded

and
Finwë loved her greatly, and was glad again.
