Sorry, NightKnight, but it's not birth. Something related, though, at least in Middle-earth. But that's a great answer!

Marriages between people from different races:
Gondolin - Tuor and Idril Doriath - Beren and Luthien/Thingol and Melian Minas Tirith - Aragorn and Arwen Rivendell - Elrond and Celebrian Fens of Sirion is the OPO.

So close!!
Now you need to widen your criterion, and never assume anything that the books don't tell you (or imply beyond a reasonable doubt). Were Elrond and Celebrian of different races?

At least one half-elf got married in all except Gondolin?

No. Widen your focus some more. And, perhaps I don't have the information you have (in which case this question is doomed!) but, don't assume something unless the books explicitly state it.

Stupid symestreems!
OK, I have decided to change the question, because of the possibility that something in that vast and often self-contradictory Tolkien Legendarium is making the answer to this puzzle wrong.
I've taken out Rivendell and added two places. The OPO is still the same as before, so continue with the trains of thought you were on before. New list: Minas Tirith Doriath Lothlorien Gondolin Nan Elmoth the Fens of Sirion |

Herm...this is a horrible guess, but Nan Elmoth, as an elf and her mortal love lived in all the other places at some point in time.
