It seems you really cannot keep track of arguments. So I will keep things very simple for you.
Elves don't reach physical maturity until at least 50 and for some around 100.
Elves usually have year long betrothals before getting married young sometime after they turn 50.
Earendil and Elwing at 22 would be akin to '11 year olds' at best if they aged like Elves. 22 was considered possibly too young for a Dunedain bride let alone at elf.
There are not going to be marriages for '11 year olds'.
It's simple argument so hopefully you can keep up.

Where is that quote? Is it in Lord of the Rings? If not, I question the validity.

Yes it is perhaps you should have a look at it more often before questioning someone else' validity.
