Mormons believe that people's families and future spouses are arranged before they're born, before their souls enter bodies.
Um, nope. I was born and raised Mormon; that's just not accurate in terms of church theology. As for Mormon culture... eh, you'll probably find some of the 'one true love' thing, but it's not actually doctrine.
No arranged marriages, either, at least not in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I'm using the full name for a reason--some splinter groups that are often referred to as Mormon or fundamentalist Mormon or other variations definitely do arrange marriages for young girls. But they're not members of my church, they're separate. And Meyers is LDS, not a member of one of the splinter groups.
Sorry for butting in on trollprincess's LJ. I was giggling while reading the Breaking Dawn recap.
