My guess is that human-elf marraiges were more common among the commoners and what we read from the reports on marraiges within the higher social layers of human and elven societies is just a tip of an ice-berg. The noblety / aristocracy within said societies was likely to keep up appearances and less inclined to approve of interracial mixed marriages than the populous. It may have been different for humans as for elves, of course. With humans being more encouragable towards marrying the immortal and elves being less supportive towards one of their kin marrying a mortal. Love is strong, and Tolkien has clearly shown this to us in the not nearly insignificant numbers of interracial couples of star actors featuring in his tales. I'm not saying huge numbers, just more than what we can directly observe. :)
