I would think have her come over on a passport and get married while she is here.
And how do you suggest the young couple should proceed from there?

Plenty of marriages last. But what does this have to do with immigration?

It is always good to check someone's passport before you fall in love

Oh, I'm not being snarky. The southern border is open.

Depends where they live in Europe.
Bulgarian, Croatian, Cypriot and Romanian nationals are still required to hold a visa to enter the US. And visa isn't granted automatically.
Me (German) married American man in Germany. Had to have everything professionally translated into English and court approved/affidavit, etc. for the marriage certificate.
Had to file for spouse Visa at the Embassy in Frankfurt (I think people from Munich need to go to Frankfurt, too). You have to jump through many hoops, proof that that marriage is real and not fake, husband needs to have enough income to "sponsor" you to not become a financial burden to the US, I had to have a very thorough medical exam with aids test, lung Xray, diabetes testing, etc.. I think I had to get vaccines, too. Fingerprinting, etc.
This process took about 6 months and was very thorough. Then I got my 6 month Visa. Flew to the US and received my Green Card within 3 months. Friends of mine had to wait up to 1 year - it just depends on how busy they are at the moment.
Or you just fly to Mexico and walk over the border. My friends son just married an illegal girl, she officially worked at Starbucks in the US before they married, and now has the Green Card through marriage. No health exam, no Visa fees.
