Definitely a western thing, but actually commonplace since 1200s in England.

Correct. Neolocal households coupled (no pun intended) with later marriage ages are unique aspects of historical marriage patterns in northwestern Europe.

Many more regions besides England have also shown this pattern for centuries, but those are mostly within northwestern Europe to the west and north of the Hajnal line.
