Tolkien Wondering about the Elves...

Maybe I'm stupid for asking the Q, but...

So we all know that a half-elf or part-elf (like Arwen) would have to give up his/her immortality to marry (or, I assume, consummate a relationship with, though I always thought such things did not occur outside of marriage in Tolkien's world) a mortal. But how about someone who's fully elf? People seem to assume that the same is true, but Gimli, who is a dwarf and therefore more hated by the Elves than any other mortal, was allowed with Legolas into the Undying Lands. Any reason why a human mortal wouldn't be allowed with his/her spouse?

As Timon said, "Did I miss something?!" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The signs are obvious
They are everywhere
All that we hear about
Is the gloom and despair
Too many would be prophets
Saying it's the end of it all
'Cause Mother Earth can't take much more
The skies are gonna fall
So nature has its needs
That's a lesson learned
But it appears to me
There are greater concerns
'Cause we can save the planet
Thinking we will somehow survive
But Father Time is calling us
To save somebody's life

So I won't bend and I won't break
I won't water down my faith
I won't compromise in a world of desperation
What has been, I cannot change
For tomorrow and today
I must be a light to future generations
