Tolkien revised umpteen details of the Galadriel/Celeborn relationship, where and how they met, where they lived during the years of their marriage and so on. elebrimbor's pash for her was not there in all the versions. I certainly never got the impression from anything I read that his feelings were reciprocated: didn't he say "although your heart is given to Celeborn of the Trees".
Tolkien also had Feanor fancying Galadriel back in Valinor in some versions...she was clearly a much-sought-after lady and Celeborn no doubt thought himself most fortunate.
