So lately some people are coming out to me and telling me 'you should wait to get married you're too young'
-_-
Really? i'm 23 years old im going to be 24 when I get married...my FH is a great man (I know bc b4 him I met a few aholes and losers-so I know what im talking about)
seriously...it's getting me annoyed. Before it use to be 'why till 2014? that's soo far away!'
I'm getting married and that's it!

That's so frustrating! People will always have something to say! Try not to let it get to you - you don't know the motive they have for saying something like that to you (jealousy? bitter about something that happened in their life?) You're never 'too young' to be happy!

I know it's so frustrating! I get 'don't get married, don't do it' and I just ignore them.
Like cj52514 said- people will always have something to say. So let them waste their breathe and don't stress over it.

I'm 22, almost 23, and I am the first of my HS classmates to be engaged. All of the moms of my old classmates that live in my town are so nosy and always ask if I have a job, how can we afford to buy a house, whats the rush, etc.... I am getting my Master's in December, my FH is almost 26 with a great job, and we are in the process of home buying! But people still need to make a point to say that we should have waited another 3-4 years... we have been dating for almost 6 years, and felt that the timing was right. My family and his family were so excited for us and those are the only people that really matter anyway!

When I get married, it will be 3 months shy of our 14th anniversary! We've been together since we were 16. For YEARS people have been asking us 'when are you getting married', even suggesting that I break up with him to find somebody who is willing to pop the question. We love each other very much and our reason for holding off was our decision and wasn't anybody else's business. I felt a small sense of relief that people will no longer be asking! Then, the second after we were engaged the questions 'when are you having a baby' and 'when are you buying a house' started immediately. You need to do whatever makes you happy because people will always have their opinions and will always share them with you!

People who want to talk will always have something to say. I am 28, and I have heard my share of people's unwarranted opinions. In the end, it is what makes FH and you happy, so try not to let people get to you.

people always want to give their two cents. not for nothing, but this is why i don't plan on sharing things like my wedding song. i just don't CARE what other people think. (i'll also never share my future children's names before they are born). just do what in your heart is right. following your heart will never lead you astray, seriously. :)

To each their own and don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. I'm 31 years old and I didn't consider getting married until I was about 25 years old. I will say this, at this age I am in a totally different mind set then I was in my 20's so I'm sure that getting married now is a commitment that I am ready for that I wasn't ready for then. Everyone is different though and only you know what you are ready for. It's your life, live it the way you want.
Don't let it bother you! That's just dumb of them to say because first of all, there's no 'magic' age that's 'right' to get married. Second, it's common for people to get married later now, but that's definitely not how it used to be! Before I got engaged, people used to tell me, 'When I was your age, I was married and had two kids already!' Well, bully for you!
Haters gon' hate!

I've gotten good at tuning out unwanted advice. Too many people want to give their two cents. In the end, you are the only one who can know if you are ready for marriage.
