Morwen, I don't think we know that the sons of Elrond chose to be mortal. Some Tolkien scholars guess they *might* have done, as they seemed to like hanging out with men - namely Aragorn and the Dunedain. But, on the other hand, they seemed pretty fond of their mother (Celebrian) and my personal guess is that they might have gone West eventually to see her again.
