Actually, as far as Elrond and Celebrian are concerned I believe that the story goes something like this. During the years of the Second Age leading up to the forging of the One Ring, Celeborn was living in Eregion while Galadriel and her daughter Celebrian were in Lorien. When war broke out between Sauron and the Elves (around 1693) Eregion was laid waste and Celeborn was forced to flee Northwards until he met Elrond's army coming in from Lindon. Under the force of Sauron assault, they were forced to retreat to the upper Bruinen valley, and Elrond founded Rivendell there at that time. Thus, Celeborn was in Rivendell at the end of the War. Galadriel and Celebrian came looking for him there, and it was at that time that Elrond and Celebrian met for the first time. It is said that Elrond loved her, though he said nothing of it. It was not until some 2000 years later that he married her.
