It's usually beneficial to marry ASAP. Besides gaining an alliance with the princess' father, your king/heir will now be able to produce heirs. That's more important than you may think, as it usually takes a while before they marry of their own volition, and even longer before they start procreating. It's not unknown (though not common) to lose the game because your line died out due to lack of mature heirs.

Sometimes the alliance doesn't follow the marriage. Can't find out when it does and when it doesn't. By the way, Muslim faction heirs marry automatically when they come to the throne.

Happened to me a couple of times. The first was in my very first campaign as Turks. The most hurting was in my French High campaign.

Sometimes there's a clash between alliances if you or your in-laws are at war with each other's allies. But the usual case when an alliance isn't formed is when another power requests your princess in marriage. This seems not to forge an alliance for some reason
