Male elves giving up immortality? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've thought about this for a while, and most of you may think this stupid, but did any male elf give up his immortality for a women/non-elf? I've read practically all of Tolkien's books, but I don't think Tolkien ever made a male elf give up his immortality. Why is that? Were the female elves so pretty that the male elves never wanted to marry a non-elf. I don't know. But I know that an elf doesn't have to give up her/his immortality right away if they marry, there may be certain exceptions, but I was just wondering what everyones point of view would be for this. That is if anyone replies. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
