No. Widen your focus some more. And, perhaps I don't have the information you have (in which case this question is doomed!) but, don't assume something unless the books explicitly state it.

Stupid symestreems!
OK, I have decided to change the question, because of the possibility that something in that vast and often self-contradictory Tolkien Legendarium is making the answer to this puzzle wrong.
I've taken out Rivendell and added two places. The OPO is still the same as before, so continue with the trains of thought you were on before. New list: Minas Tirith Doriath Lothlorien Gondolin Nan Elmoth the Fens of Sirion |

Herm...this is a horrible guess, but Nan Elmoth, as an elf and her mortal love lived in all the other places at some point in time.

Nope. It's a lot simpler. But close.

I'm... confused. Odd Place Out II disappeared.
Anyway, noone is getting this, so I am abdicating the thread and leaving it open for whoever gets here first. |

There are no more "Something thread 2" threads, as they have been assimilated to the original "Something thread".
You serious about abdicating?

You know what, I'm not. I'm not giving up yet.
The answer is very simple, and some variation or other has been guessed several times- not with the correct OPO, though. |

The Fens of Sirion, because two people (both Elves and Men) did not fall in love there?

You changed your mind? Figures. Next time you change your mind, you probably accept Adam's proposal to marry you.
No, she will not! What about GCHQ? What about it? Uh... While Adam is thinking of a witty retort - Yeah, right. - I'll give it a shot. The Fens of Sirion - only one half of a mixed-raced couple passed there. (Beren from Doriath to Nargothrond)

You asked for it...
Minas Tirith of Gondor did not exist during the Third Age?
Oh yeah! Simple!

Hehe...I meant "First Age"
What did happen in the Fens of Sirion?
Hmmm...no elves were married in Minas Tirith?

Minas Tirith was the only place where the entire Fellowship was, at one time?

It doesn't have to do the races being married, so no to all of the above.

So...
Nobody was married in the Fens of Sirion...
At least, nobody I know.

Wrong OPO.

Oops, sorry
But they did. Earendil and Elwing met in the Fens of Sirion.
I 'm tying up this thread from a more fun and challenging question, I know. This time, I really do mean to give up. Correct answer: Lothlorien Lothlorien is the only place of the list where there is no specific marriage that takes place. Minas Tirith- Arwen and Aragorn Doriath- Galadriel and Celeborn Gondolin- Tuor and Idril Nan Elmoth- Eol and Aredhel the Fens of Sirion- Earendil and Elwing This thread is open to whoever gets here first. |

symestreem darling, surely you must refer to the Mouths of Sirion, not the Fens.

...Oops...
There are also fens at the mouth of the Sirion, however. Still... that was really stupid, and I apologize to everyone. |

Thank you, Gil-galad. And thank you, too, Sleepy Ranger. [evil grin] Here's mine, then. Nargothrond Emyn Arnen Gondolin Tirion Have fun!

Could it be Emyn Arnen, the only one of the four not the dwelling of elves?

Wrong!
A clue: nothing to do with Elves, as a race, that is...

Wrong again!
I really mean it. Nothing to do with the word "Elf" or "Elves"; although they are involved, their race doesn't matter.

If this is the answer it's aggravatingly simple/tricksy/whatever.
Nargothrond the only underground dwelling? |

Sorry, son of Huor.
It's not that simple, but it still beats Quantum Mechanics in simplicity.
