Extremely unlikely, since Legolas is reputed to have gone over-sea with Gimli as his only mentioned companion.
I think if Tolkien had had a chance to tell us about some other pair of affectionately related people-- let alone married-- being separated by the (flaming, dratted, confounded--- ooops, I mean, lovely, transcendant, pinnacle-of-elvishness) Grey Havens-- as I was saying, if Tolkien had had another chance to heartwrenchingly separate belovedly close friends/ relatives/ comrades in arms, with the sundering seas, I'm SURE he would have told us about it in Gory Detail. Witness: Elrond and Arwen; before that Elrond and Celebrian; Amroth and Nimrodel, sort of; Celeborn and Galadriel; Gandalf and Aragorn; and (****wracking sobs****) Sam and Frodo.
No, if Tolkien had had another chance to profoundly depress us for a week or so, personally I'm SURE he would have taken it. I'm betting Legolas is single.
