All I can propose is that all elves are different and that while most elves probably married earlier on in life and had children soon after, many may have married and had children when they were much older. We are really only privy to information about very few elven marriages, all of which are from royal families. Perhaps the elven royalty marries later in life and bear children later in marriage than the typical elf.
