Hey all!

So every girl dreams of their wedding day and even down to the last detail...

My question is.. how old did you 'plan' on being when getting married and having kids... are you on 'track' and are you happy with the way things turned out?

I thought I'd be married by 26/27 and have my first baby by 30. Instead, I'll be married when I'm 29 (a few months shy of 30), but I'm totally ok with that. It was worth waiting for the man of my dreams!

Re: * QOTD 10/27/08 *

I didn't have a 'plan' per se, but I grew up knowing and understanding that my mother was 23 almost 24 when she met my father, 24 almost 25 when she got married, and 25 almost 26 when she had me. So that's just what I thought was when you were supposed to do things!

As it turns out, I'm pretty much repeating history, but I've known FH since I was 19. I'll be just about 2 months shy of my 25th bday when we get married, and we're really not going to prevent having kids once we're married, so it's *possible* I could be 25 just shy of 26 when the first one comes along.

I believe that I always wanted to be married by the time I was 30. And although I am 30 now, we will be married before I cross over to 31, so I'm still on my timeline But really, it has just worked out that way - everything will happen whenever it happens and I'll be happy with it

I always thought I would be in my early 20s when I got married and 25 by the time I had my first child.. I will be 26 when I get married so I am only a few years behind!

Thanks for bumping, lol.
I'm on track w/ what I always thought I wanted. I'll be married at 25 and I'd like to have my first child at 27. We'll see what the good Lord wants to give me though.

Re: * QOTD 10/27/08 *

From the age of 24 on I didn't have a set plan for marriage/kids, I was all about my career and living it up in NYC. I met my FH at 28, a year and 5 months ago..whats funny is FH was in the exact same place at the same time I was for those years. When we met we knew after 1 or 2 dates that this was it.
So for FH and I, we are perfectly on track!! He proposed on our 1 year aniiversary, by the time we're married I'll be midway through age 30. We would like to get pregnant after our 1 year anniversary so we can sell our apartmens and buy a house!
