The two sons of Elrond ride out from Edoras to meet the procession of High-elves riding from Lórien and escort their sister into the city.
Elrond, his sons, and the High-elves with them in Edoras set out on the final road by which they will bring Arwen to Minas Tirith for her to wed the King.
Gandalf takes Aragorn onto the desolate heights of the mountain behind Minas Tirith. At the edge of the snow they find a sapling of the White Tree of Gondor with which Aragorn replaces the dead remains of the white tree which have been standing in the court of the Citadel.
Elrond arrives in Minas Tirith with his daughter Arwen, whose union with Aragorn he now permits — now that the ragged Ranger has become King of all the West. Many of the High Elves arrive with them, including Galadriel and Celeborn, to witness this last union of Elves with Men.
King Elessar weds Arwen Undómiel upon Midsummer, thirty-nine years to the day after they plighted troth under the trees of Lórien. Sixty-eight years have passed since they met in the woods of Imladris, eighty-eight since Aragorn was born to Arathorn and Gilraen, and 2,778 years since Arwen was born to Celebrían and Elrond Half-elven.
