There was a scene at the beginning with Regina watching adult (or possibly teenage; either way, it was Ginny Goodwin's version of the character) Snow riding on her horse outside the stables. She married Leopold when Snow was just a child, ten or shortly thereafter, so I don't think it was "not long after her wedding." For Snow to be as old as she was in that scene, it had to be many years after the wedding.
