I can only find a couple of instances where a female Elf married a mortal man. - Beren and Lùthien - Lùthien could have remained immortal after she married Beren, yet becasue Beren went to the Halls of Mandos - died - and Lùthien pleaded for his life, she had the choice of immortality without Beren or mortality with him. Because of her love for him and her desire for him to live again, she gave up her immortality.
- Tuor and Idril - She remained immortal and sailed into the west, along with Tuor.
- Earendil (Half-Elven) and Elwing - Both remained immortal and sailed into the West
- Aragorn and Arwen (3/4 Elven) - Arwen was Half-Elven, so she choose mortality to be with Aragorn. It was not that she married Aragorn, it was the fact the she was Half-Elven.
Hope this helps.
