Ron for Fleur, imho. BTW, does anyone have a copy of that interview. 
I've heard it (in several variations) but I've never seen it, and it 
would be VERY interesting.

In real life, I agree. In literature, things are a little 
different. :-) OTOH, the children of the wizarding world grow up much 
faster than ours. I believe I posted awhile ago that they are expected 
by around 18 years old to have taken up the position of 30 year olds 
in our society. I wouldn't be surprised if marriages were earlier 
(just as in our own past), and people met their spouses while they 
were still teen-agers. So far, we've seen at least two marriages that 
came out of Hogwarts.
