That's a whole pitcher of judgement you just poured over people you probably barely know. The comment about her plain appearance and divorced parents is the little umbrella on top. It seems you have spun a whole Lifetime movie around this couple who are just starting out. MYOB and write them a check.
Also, is it possible you have confused a regional university with community college? Or do you not know the difference between an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree?

What gave it away? The constant looking down on the bride and how she clearly thinks the groom is too good for her?
Possibly the description of him as "her cousin's kid"
Just a guess

I don’t know, but one thing I have figured out after 17+ years of marriage is that the problems we have had are not anything that I would have predicted.
So best wishes to the couple.

I was 23. 40 now.
Similar age. We’re fine, normal, living our lives. Working, homeowners, still happily married.
DH had an interview for post grad years ago. He cited things I brought to the marriage, to our relationship, ideas and practices as a student, as really positive answers during the interview. He didn’t have to mention me, I mean that we both came together and improved our lives together. He makes me a better person. He supported me opening my own successful business. He predicted early that I would be a pushover parent, and he would hold the line. He’s right (I thought i would be the opposite!). And stricter is something our kids need.
The newlyweds are going to be fine.

He is quite intelligent and just graduated with a good STEM degree and nice job. She is hard working, finishing up a bachelor's from a community college and works part time but barely average student.
They also have different race, religions, socioeconomic status and cultures. He is conventionally handsome and she is rather plain. His family is intact and traditional. Hers parents are divorced and one remarried. He was coddled all his life, she wasn't privileged that way. She attended school on financial aid but has some credit debt, he was on merit scholarship and has no debt. He is a bit immature and spoiled.
His family is supportive (after some initial hesitation) paying for the wedding and helping set up an apartment and all and for sure would be supportive in future as well. I'm hopeful for them as she seems like a sensible young woman but do wonder what are the struggles of such couples in long term? Only couples I know who made it against difficult odds were bit older and knew each other for several years.
My good friend met her soulmate at 22, they didn't get married but moved in together within a year. They lived together happily for 20 years until he passed away from Cancer.
Moral of the story: Life is too short to NOT mind your own business!

You haven’t described any real obstacles.
They’ve dated for a good amount of time to get to know each other. Their families are supportive. He has decent earning potential.
What obstacles are they facing???

And now they're 75, and still happily married!!!
Mixing cultures and worldviews is GOOD thing. Otherwise life is too boring

One doesn’t get a bachelors from
Community college. Your family isn’t smart . A 22 year old getting married shows their lack of intelligence.
None of this matters .
They are both dumb and his family supporting this also dumb
Quite dumb to talk so aggressively about people or things you've no knowledge of.
