I was vaguely familiar with Ivriniel (due to her dad clearly having an obsession with Finduilas Faelivrin of Nargothrond), but had to look up Gilmith... I'll bounce over to the Imrazor thread to discuss her, but I agree that her case suggests that there almost must have been other half-elven couples. You can point at Beren and Luthien, Tuor and Idril, Aragorn and Arwen as all Fated, but there's nothing that makes a part-Elvish Dol Amroth line important to the fate of the world. The case of Aegnor and Andreth shows that the desire certainly existed on both sides - and it would be silly to imagine that all of the Eldar were as cowardly as Aegnor...
