Yes now completely illegal here too. And of course now everyone seems to meet online. There will be no cute stories to tell and as every one here marries so late, probably not too many diamond or even golden anniversaries.
As people are in general living longer, there may still be lots of goldens. My daughters were 28 and 30 when they got married; lots of people live into their late 70s/early 80s these days.

We once had a pastor at our church who dated, later married a parishoner. This is now strongly discouraged as well these days.
