I think you are doing the right thing here. Do what is best for YOU and your girlfriend.

You are a Deist (person believes in god, no formal religion)

my wife and I dated 7 years before getting married, we met while in college, she was 19, I was 20. We went to schools in Different states, her in PA, I in NJ, we also wanted to FINISH college, before moving on with our lives, our Degree's came first.

We have now been married 11 years with three children, both with great jobs and we provide well for our children. We have a Very healthy marriage.

I would simply tell the pastor not involve himself in your personal relationship. Tell him to respect your choices and decisions.

Living down south now, I see this "rush to marriage" quite often especially at a young age. I simply do not understand what the rush is.
