I knew a girl in highschool who spend her senior year engaged and married shortly after graduation. She said that she was lucky that she was allowed to graduate. In her culture girls were married immediately at 18 or even younger. She was sincerely happy and excited about her wedding and her life as a wife. While my classmates and I were applying to college, she was planning her wedding. When we graduated, the school had a list of the seniors and our colleges. Next to her name, they wrote "Wedded Bliss." She said that she could choose the groom, but they were introduced when she was 16 and engaged the summer before senior year. I am not sure how much choice she really had in the matter. I have no idea if/how this worked out because I haven't kept in touch.
