What happened to courting?

So, I'm in the game room today, right, and me and some friends are talking about our plans and stuff for tomorrow night and how we're going to devirginize Jake because he's never seen Rocky Horror Picture Show and all that. And someone said that he would finally be getting his wedding night or whatever, but then Sam pointed out that she wasn't gonna be there and that he wasn't married to me so he wouldn't get his wedding night after all. Then, he grabbed my hand and shoved his clover ring on my ring finger and was like "There." What happened to dating first? Seriously... where did it go? ;p
