Not to get off topic or anything, but brothers require parents.
Well, Melkor and Manwe were brothers and they didn't really have parents. But I agree that Elwe, Olwe, and Elmo probably did.

That aside, yeah, if Elmo is Celeborn's grandfather then it contradicts some of the other stuff about close relatives falling in love.
It's said that first cousins weren't supposed to fall in love. The same is not said, as far as I know, about more distant relations. Elrond married Celebrian, who was his second or fourth cousin (second from her point of view, fourth from his) on both sides (through the Noldor and through the Sindar).
