The young man told his father, "I want to marry a good
woman, a smart woman, one who'll be a good mother to
our kids, a woman who will make me happy."
His father told him he'd better make up his mind.

In LotR he is basically a "you must be the husband". He's there
structurally in order to complete the character of Galadriel as wise,
holy, royal, beautiful, and _inaccessible_ - Madonna like (no not the
pop star). Short of making her a virgin nun, which would have been
rather cringey, Tolk does the simplest thing - he makes her happily
married. That's not to say that he then doesn't expand it with
complexities, the time they spent apart, Celeborn's own (though limited
in LotR) character.
And to those of you giving vent to your adolescent sexual frustrations
in this thread, and to those old enough to know better - you might do
well to have a cold shower and go and read the book again. You could
all do with a female role model.

RD: Maybe he's just got a big dick?

RD: Which reminds me of the definition of an ideal woman:
A young, dumb, rich, nymphomaniac who's a brilliant cook and owns a pub.
And maybe a curry house too?
And when Paddy went for a job interview, the prospective employer told him,
'I've got a vacancy for someone who's smart, punctual, efficient and
hard-working.'
Paddy responded: 'you don't want one person, you want four.'
