i think it depends on your financial situation and maturity

FH and I are way more established than some 30 year olds we know and they have almost 8 years on me! we have an apartment and nice things (IMO), a new car, real estate in florida and we are paying for our wedding ourselves....and we have 0 debt

---

Agreed!!!!

Where in Fla.?

---

Palm Bay
its south of Melbourne Florida
its Central Florida on the East Coast

---

Cool!! We have an apt down south too............only it's not finished yet so I guess that doesnt count.

Exactly what I'm saying. When I was 22 or 24 I personally did not feel ready.

---

i had to grow up fast......my parents decided to move across the country so i had to make a decision and i chose to stay in NY and i had to grow up real fast.....if my parents didnt move - i probably would still live at home and mooch off them! i def wouldnt be ready for marriage then!

---

I give you a lot of credit! It's not easy to do, especially with your parents gone. I know a lot of people that still need to grow up and live at home and mooch off their parents

age shouldnt matter
if we u wernt ready u wouldnt be doing it

I think it's this area. I grew up in PA and people get married a lot younger down there. My sister is 24 and she has more friends married then I do! I personally think people wait too long to get married. I am 27 and happy with how things went for me, but if it happend when I was younger I don't think it would've been bad. I know my dad was 22 when he got married and my mom 23....my grandparents were 18...I think older people just forget how old they were when they did it....

---

My parents were in their 32 when they got married. They were together 8 years before they got married.

I know how you feel, im 20 and hear it so much from all the divorsee's at my job. But I know in my heart he is the one, and I don't care what anybody has to say! Plus my parents got married very young and there celebrating 29 years in march and couldn't be happier!

---

My cousin is 20 years old and her wedding is before mine so when we're with the family she gets more heat than I do. She's going to be my 20 yr old Matron of Honor and I love it!

---

Thankfully our familes are so excited for the wedding! Sometimes people just don't understand because they don't want to see us get hurt, but once we're all married and everything is good they will realize that its true love

thanks - but i have to say that i did have a lot of help from FH - without him i dont know if i could have done it the point im trying to make is that life experience, maturity and even income/money has a lot to do with how ready you are.....

wow go yoU!!!

I find it funny how opinionated people are in general about the age you are when you get married. It definitely is a fairly new thing to wait. My parents started dating when they were 15, were married at 19, had their first baby at 21 and three kids after that...guess what...sunday they will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. Only you and FH know how you feel and that's all that matters!

yeah right on!!!!!!!

Lucky for me I haven't heard that yet, but it might be because my cousin got married at the same age I'll be getting married, so the family has adjusted. At work, I think people are way too scared to say that (and my firm is big so I think people just don't know enough about me to know how old I am).

My Mom was 23 when she got married, and my aunt was 19!! I know they were 'different times then' but whatever. I'll be 24 and if anyone doesn't like it they can kiss my irish-cuban arse!

People will always have something to say.....
You always either too young, too old, too fat, too skinny...blah blah blah. I'll be 30 when I get married and I really want to wait like 3 or 4 years until I have kids....and you know people will raise their brows b/c I will be getting 'old' for kids...

There is no right age.....just a right time....
Congrats to you for finding the one at 24.....I would say now you don't have to waste time with losers and you have more time with someone great!!

i'll be NEWELY 23 when i get married, and the FH will be 25.

i rather start my life with the person i love right away, because who knows how long you have with that person.

Some are not mentally ready., and for some yes they are., as long as you know you are ready then dont be offended.

They dont have any right to say that., they dont know the age of your soul.

I am 25 and I don't think I am a 'young' bride

i do feel young to get married 'age' wise.....i would have never thought that i would only be 23! i am happy and ready to do it....but if someone would have told me that i would have never believed them! i would have never guessed it!

but i also wouldnt have believed all of the other things ive accomplished by this age either!

tell them to mind their own i dont think it matters what age you are it is your wedding not theirs...

try being 22 and getting married. i get crap all the time from people. sometimes i wanna smack them. especially coworkers who have been married and divorced.....they have th emost to say.

I get this all the time! I'm 22 also and it's sooo annoying. My parents were married at 21 and 22 and they have been happily married for over 26 years!!
