there is a bit of the love of aragorn for arwen hinted at in fellowship. Quote from Bilbo to Aragorn while in Rivendell after the feast "Where have you been my friend? Why weren't you at the feast? Lady Arwen was there." Strider looked down at Bilbo gravely. "I know," he said, "Often but often I must put mirth aside..."
Then in Lothorien Galadriel givs Aragorn a sheath for his sword, and she asks him if there is aught else he may want. He answers with "Lady, you know my desire, and long held in keeping, the only treasure that I seek. Yet it is not yours to give me, even if you would; and only through darkness shall I come to it.
She then gives him the brooch and he thanks her with "For the gifts that you have given me, I thank you," he said, "Oh lady of Lorien of whom were sprung Celebrian and Arwen Evenstar. What praise could I say more?"
As I said.. hinted it.. Like good literature does.. it doesn't hit you in the head with it and attempt to beat you silly until you finally see it
