I think the rush to get married just after graduating from college is definitely a Southern/Midwestern thing.
Of the college folks, only now are my friends starting to get married, and I've been out of college for 5 years. Granted, I did know a few people who got married just after graduation, but for the most part, they were either religious or had been together even before college. Even among those 2-3 couples who did get married right out of college, none of them have had kids yet!
Meanwhile, my HS classmates from the South are, for the vast majority of them, married with kids; some of them are even divorced! I can't imagine.
