Thankfully, she's not even dating right now so it won't happen...but, I'd say OK get engaged, but no marriage until after you finish college and start your career. Get married and hubby will be paying for your college...not mom and dad.

My grandparents married in 1903 when she was 18 and he was 21. They celebrated over 60 years of marriage before he died at the age of 82. Women grew up in a hurry in the 19th century.
