The funeral escort of King Theoden sets out.

"Then the kings of Gondor and Rohan went to the Hallows and they came to the tombs in Rath Dinen, and they bore away King Theoden upon a golden bier, and passed through the City in silence. Then they laid the bier upon a great wain with Riders of Rohan about it and his banner borne before; and Merry being Theoden's esquire rode upon the wain and kept the arms of the king."

The Wedding of Aragorn and Arwen

Mid-year's Day

Wedding of Elessar and Arwen

"Then the King welcomed his guests, and they alighted; and Elrond surrendered the sceptre, and laid the hand of his daughter in the hand of the King, and together they went up into the High City, and all the stars flowered in the sky. And Aragorn the King Elessar wedded Arwen Undomiel in the City of the Kings upon the day of Midsummer, and the tale of their long waiting and labours was come to fulfilment."
