A bunch of my friends have actually gotten married that way. They met and dated their future spouse in college, and got engaged in their senior year, and married the summer after graduation.<p>They were all serious Christians though. They also went to lengths to ensure there was absolutely no sexual contact whatsoever before marriage -- e.g. by avoiding being alone in a room with their fianceé; always meeting&#x2F;dating in public places, etc.<p>I will admit, American Christians do fall outside the majority cultural norm in this country, and I was writing from that perspective.
