Well, you never know. Perhaps at Arwen's last moment, the shade of Aragorn appeared by her side, and sort of led her to the Halls of Men (an arbitrary name for the place where Men go when they die). Perhaps Tolkien would have wanted it that way, we'll never know. It's another one of those things that are comparable to the Witch-king "prophecy." On one hand, it could have been a moment of inspiration for Tolkien, or, he could have gotten a kick out of watching all of us sweat over little things like that. You take your pick.
