"Aragorn hijo de Arathorn, y
Arwen hija de Elrond fueron a la hermosa colina de Cerin Amroth, en el corazón del país, y caminaron descalzos sobre la hierba inmortal entre las elanor y las niphredil (...) y se juraron eterna fidelidad y fueron felices."

Her lover Amroth waited for her in “havens grey” but a storm set the ship loose + on its way to Valinor. Of Nimrodel we only hear that she was never seen before, though there is a stream that bears her name.
