This is not historically accurate. Ribbons were used rather than bands for hair because elastic wasn't used for hair ties until the 1900s. Women also typically got married in their 20s in the mid 1800s, not at 15, and even so, they would have courted for some time before being married, even if their parents desired them to marry one another for social standing. There are a few other era discrepencies as well, though they would make this post quite a bit longer.

Overall though, I do like this story, despite it being historically inacurate.
