I realized after I posted this that I do have an example from a (good) regency romance that I read recently (A Lady By Midnight) in which the hero (who originally turned down a captaincy and planned to travel to America and live on the frontier) ends up taking the captaincy so he can marry the heroine (who is of a higher social class than he is).
And I think that Han/Leia kind of has implied elements of this? In that Han's moving up in the world as the films go on - Leia certainly isn't running off to be a smuggler with him.
