Hello, I discovered this section yesterday, because I was only "absorbed" with the new Silmarillion section, but this thread is for me related, and i want to contribute to it.
As the New Silmarillion posters know i have constructed A Complete Silmarillion in Spanish, in my way. And of course the history of Galadriel and Celeborn was "reconstructed". As Findegil I also am a combiner but in other way. In general I am agreed with Galin (with some differences) but for example:

With a notable cough I 'interpret' Galadriel's line in The Lord of the Rings ['... and I have dwelt with him years uncounted; for ere the fall of Nargothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat.'] to mean she passed over mountains into Beleriand to ultimately meet Celeborn, a Sindarin Elf and kinsman of Thingol, in Doriath.
....
After that is seems we have Galadriel in Thingol's realm, learning from Melian and having a life with Celeborn there until the Sack of Doriath, based on the brief line [Unfinished Tales] that Celeborn 'escaped the sack of Doriath'.

Well, due to the versions of TLOTR and TRGEO (that I think must be a law, because they were published by their author), I tried to make solution thinking and editorially writing in my recontructed account of the Second Age, that ere the fall of Nargothrond, in a non told year, Galadriel passed over the Mountains and "discovered" Lindorinand but she returned to Doriath again.
Then after the sack of Doriath we could think, but only think, that Elwing and the people of Doriath perhaps were guided by Galadriel and Celeborn.
Greetings
