Was Beren and Luthien the first man-elf marriage
Many times in Tolkien I have heard Beren and Luthien being referred to as the first mariage betweeen an elf and a man. But in a recent read of The Silmarillion and looking at the family trees I saw that Idril daughter of Turgon of Gondolin married Tuor son of Huor of the house of Hador.
Now someone please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that then make Beren and Luthien the secong elf-man marriage.

This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and me a new star shall arise. Farewell!" The Silmarillion, Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Page 230 |
