Will an Overstay Invalidate a Marriage (US Citizen/Canadian Fiance)

I am a US citizen, and met my girlfriend while she was in the US. Recently she returned to Canada and on her way back to the US was allow to withdraw her application due to her not having a return ticket, cash, etc. They noted her times in and out of the US, and one particular instance a few years ago, she overstayed more than 180 days (though less than 270).

We had planned to marry, but understand there is a possibility that she could be banned from entering the US for 3 years.

My question is, how likely is this to happen? Does anyone have any experience or know about this type of situation?

Obviously I am already speaking to an immigration lawyer, but I'm looking for personal experiences here. Thanks.
