Part 2/8:

Elves in Tolkien's universe are unique. Unlike humans, they have an incredibly long lifespan, often living for thousands of years. As a result, they typically experience romantic love only once in their lifetime. The courtship and marriage between elves are not casual affairs; they are profound bonds that last for eternity. Galadriel, being one of the highest-ranking elves, would not have chosen any ordinary elf to be her husband.

Who is Celeborn?

Celeborn, a Sindarin elf, is often overshadowed by his illustrious wife. While Galadriel is an Avari elf and has lineage ties to the more powerful Noldor, Celeborn has roots in the Sindar, a group that originates from the Teleri elves. Yet, Celeborn possesses qualities that make him a fascinating character in his own right.
