Elven/Mortal marriages... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have a question. I know that Arwen was half-elven, therefore had a choice to be an elf or to be mortal, she chose to be mortal, and marry Aragorn. What if a pure-blooded elf fell in love with a mortal? What would happen then? Could they marry? How would that work? I haven't read all of Tolkien's books yet. I'm re-reading LotR, then I'm going to read the Silmarillion for the first time. So, I don't know a whole lot about the elves, except for what's covered in LotR, including the appendices. any help would be greatly appreciated!
