![My engagement pictures were blogged! =]](http://boards-static.weddingbee.com/images/right-loop-button-on.gif)
I'm 21 and will get married on May 5, 2012. I'm really excited about what my life is going to be, and how I'm going to be able to experience it with my FI. We've grown so much together, and are not the same as we were when we first met. I just wish my family was a little more supportive of everything.
But enoguh about me, what about you? How is wedding planning? How are your families handling everything? And do you have anything you'd like to vent?
My husband and I got married when we were 22/23. We are both very mature for our age and bought a house before I was 20. I didn't listen to people and still don't about our relationship!
While I'll be 24 on our wedding day, J will have just turned 29. :)
I've always been very mature for my age. It has a lot to do with my past and how I grew up. I decided to take on a lot more responsibilities than I needed to. There are times where I wish I could act my age (more when I first turned 21), but I've accepted the fact that I am a bright, young, successful woman.
As for the wedding planning, things are going. Slowly, but surely. Which is fine by me. We haven't hit the one year mark yet (but we're inching our way towards it!). I really need to find a photographer, but I'm procrastinating. I have no idea why!
I haven't gone dress shopping yet. I'm still trying to drop a few pounds before I do, but sadly, I don't think that'll happen. :(
Everything is in order regarding the ceremony, venue, etc.
Oh, and I really should get a move on with my DIY projects. Yikes.
449 days and counting!
FI and I will both be 22 and we couldn't be happier.. We have known each other for over 10 years and been best friends for most of it.. We were each other's first loves, and even as we grew, that never changed.. He still is my best friend.. We've been through a lot together for how young we are too, and we've made it through stronger than ever.. We're getting married this November, and it's coming up fast!! I thought it would never get here, but here it is.. Pretty much all the planning is set, and I'm just waiting for time to pass to take care of more small details..
I'll be a month away from my 22nd birthday when I get married. I feel lucky that I don't get too much judgement from either of our families about our age. My mom has two sisters that got married at 18, and are still very much in love with their husbands today. My FI's family is religious, and think that getting married is the right thing to do. We have been together for three years now, and it will be over 4 when we wed.
I don't get when people say that you are "rushing in" just because of your age. To me, 'rushing in' is when you meet, date, get engaged, and get married in a year or less. And even in those cases, they have every chance of being sucessful marriages. But 'rushing in' is not dating for three years, and being engaged for over a year after that. Lol, sorry, I had to vent!
We will both be 21. :) Couldn't be happier with our desicion.
I am currently 24, was Engaged at 23 and getting married at 25!
I truly think its the PERFECT age...but most importantly its our perfect timing!
Best of luck to all you girls! xo
I am 20 and FI is 21, He will be 22 and I will be 2 months shy of my 21st birthday. We have been together for 5 years and 3 months and were best friends 6 months before that. We have a little girl who is 18 months old and we are so ready to tie the knot. We love each other so much and are highschool sweethearts :)
My family and his family are very supportive! They are excited that we are getting married and going to school and doing what we need to be doing. Im not being forced to marry my FI just because we have a kid, we are wanting to get married! Right now we are living with my dad saving up and going to school and we will be moving probably a year after we are married :)
Congrats early 20's brides :P
Everyone in my family has gotten married young. My parents were 21, grandparents were all teenagers, my sister was 20, and we were 23. I think it was the perfect choice for us!
We'll be 23, he'll be 24 w/in a month though. Part of our stipulation for getting married is that one of us has a full time job that can support both of us and offers health insurance.
I'll be 18 when I get married! And my fiance will be 19(less than 3 weeks from 20)!! But both of our families are supportive!
I'm so happy for you! I'm glad to have some sort of support, even if it's in the form of people I've never met being so positive. =] Thank you and I hope you all have beautiful weddings and amazing marriages!
I'm 22 (23 in a few months) and he's 28, we're getting married in 3 weeks! We've been through a lot together and I know we've got a strong relationship. We don't get comments so much about my age, but more about how we aren't established. Honestly, I'm ok with the fact that we don't have a lot, I'm looking forward to working for everything together. My family was hesitant at first, but they've really become great and supportive. They're paying for the wedding and letting us live with them until we're more financially stable. Hopefully once I finish law school and take the bar in Feb. we'll be good to go, I can't wait to get a job and have our own place! I hope everything goes well for you! Family sometimes takes their time, but hopefully they'll come around! Good luck!
I was 19 when we got engaged (DH was 20) and we were 21 and 22 on our wedding day. My auntmom was a little hesitant, but DH really grew on her. I was entering my last semester of college when we got married and am currently working two jobs (one's an internship). DH is about to start an apprenticeship with a local electrician. So, all the naysayers who say your life will be ruined if you get married young are wrong--being married hasn't held either of us back, and to tell you the truth, it's not much different than NOT being married.
I'll be 23 and he'll be 27 when we get married. He proposed to me last year before I turned 22. Overall, I think our families are very supportive of us. My guys parents were married fairly young and my father had his first marriage around my age. My mother is the only person who would like me to wait. However, my mother is also a militant feminist and in her opinion I'm throwing my life away by getting married before I'm 35. I think after I showed her my dress and everything she is warming to the idea lol.
I will be 25 by the time we get married and my FI will be 27 a week afer the wedding. i dont think you can put an age limit on love so dont listen to what other people say. as long as you know yor getting married for the right reason thats all that matters!
I will still be 21 in a week, and FH will be turning 25 about a month after the wedding. His parents are fine and mine only needed a little convincing. I will have my BA in the spring and the wedding is not changing my plans of going right on for my MA, which seems to be the most prominent concern among people outside my immediate family, which seems ridiculous as they should know me, and know that I am rather focused academically. In all, those that fussed at all about my age are those that didn't really know me all that well.
Planning is going pretty well, printing out the last of table things today, doing laundry to pack for the honeymoon, and then making the favors on Wednesday and Thursday when the wedding party flys/drives in. I'm pretty excited for the week leading up- some of my closest friends growing up are staying in a house with my family that we rented out. And the wedding too, of course.
I am 22 I will be 23 when we tie the knot. FI is just a few months younger than I am (3)
We were 20/21 when we got married. Our immediate families were very supportive, it was just the extended family that had issues and we didn't take any notice of that. As I have said many times before, I dont think there is a perfect age bracket for marriage even though many people will try to tell you so :)
I am 22 and FI is 27, and were getting married in 41 days!!woohoo!! Weve mostly had huge support,more so when we actually started planning the wedding though. I am very independant and have lived on my own since I was 17,and although Im close with my family,I like to keep my life very private,so a lot of my family hadnt seen FI and I "together" in our own environment and acting ourselves. So my mum told me she would like us to have a long engagement.
The turning point came when both of our families went out for FI birthday a few months ago, and they saw us interacting and just being ourselves. My mum said it was the happiest she had seen me in years (I had previously been in an abusive relationship) and since then shes been full steam ahead for us as a couple!
Now I just cant get her to stop helping us out,shes oragnising so many suprises for us,decorating the room on the day, organised the cake, and contributing financially.
Bless
When I met DH I was only 18, we have been together 3 years and on our wedding day I was 21. DH is 5 years older than me too. We are both mature and had a son together last year. Age is just a number, it doesn't indicate wisedom or maturity. My family was very supportive of us the whole time we have been together.
I am 23 and will be 24 when we get married. FI is 27 and will be 28 when we get married. We have been together for 6 years (7 when we get married!), live together, have two cats together, have travelled the world together and have grown up together... family was not surprised, I think they thought it was long over due!
Most of the people who have made comments have been those at work. Even when I explain we would have been together for 7 years by the time we get married they still say 'your too young to be that committed!'... umm we have been living together for 5 years, I dont think marriage will be some big, crazy experience that we are too young for. We will be fine.
@armywife1029: and @organizedbride11:Another November bride! It's so quickly approaching :)
I'm 21 but will be 22 when we get married; FI will turn 24 the weekend after the wedding! We both have full time careers and we own a house. We haven't heard a single negative word about our ages so that has been nice! Pretty much everything is planned and just waiting to send out invites and last minute DIY things.
Me and my FI are both 21 and will be married this weekend. Our families have been supportive, but we've definitely had a hard time getting support from friends and coworkers. I feel like i've been constantly defending myself and its worn me down a bit. But now that the day is practically here I know I've made the right choice. I can't imagine waiting any longer! Also we've been together for 7years so why put off something we know is going to happen? Just stick to your guns and don't let other people's opinions bring you down. What makes you happy isn't up to them.
I'm 21. FH is 21. Wedding planning is on the backburner due to some relationship troubles. My family is not supportive. His is very supportive.
We will both be 23 on our wedding day and I will be turning 24 a month and 9 days after our wedding. My FH proposed when he was only 19 (he turned 20 a month later) and I was 20.
I am 24 and FI will be 26 when we get married. I got engaged when I was 23 and my parents and his have always been supportive of our relationship. We are both also very mature, finished college and bought a house when I was 21 and FI was 23. We are old souls. As long as you know what your doing and it feels right, it doesnt matter what other people say.
i am 23 years old and by the time we are mariied i will be 24. my fiance will only be 23. our families are very supportive of us and want to help out in EVERY aspect. we have a son and it been rough but worth every moment. we will be together 3 years this year(most spent long distance) have have still maintained a growing and beautiful, loving relationship. to me the bottom line is this: love conquers any and everything! regardless of what people say or feel about your relationship/decisions, as long as the two of you love and believe in that love then you have something golden! i am excited to be getting married to someone that is just the man i NEED!
@CupCakeMeg: Same for me, Im 24, was 23 when engaged and will be 25 when I get married.
My family is extreamly supportive me and FI have been together for 6 years so my mom was just waiting for us to set the date!! Now im being pressured on babys... that I think I can wait a little while for ;) Best of luck to you, you have to do whatever feels right for you!
I will be 24 when we get married and FI will be 27. Our family & friends have been 100% supportive and we haven't had anyone question our decision to get married.
I'm 24, FI is 36. I get as many comments about my age as I do about our age difference. It's best just to let it go in one eat and out the other. I just commented on a post here today referring negatively to someone's age. It goes with the territory. As long as you're happy- that's all that matters ;o] Anywho, currently FI and I are long distance a few days a week, and shhhhhhhhh, we're considering just eloping! Hello all my early/mid twenty-somethings!!!
I'll be 25 when we get married (24 now), Fi will be 27. Wow. That's old. haha We've been dating since I was 19, and when I told my dad he had proposed, by dad told me he knew it had to be soon. Both families are super supportive. They always have been. We've been considered part of the other's family (family outings and trips and the like) for probably the past five years. Everyone knew we'd get married pretty early on.
But, when I was teenager I was engaged to my boyfriend of four years, and no one supported that. And they were right. It was bad news bears. I met my husband to be five days after breaking up with him.
I always wanted to be married by 23... but hey, life happens, and we're having the wedding of our dreams.
I'm 23, will be 24 when we get married, Fiance will be 24. We have wanted to get married for years, but we are waiting for him to get a full time job (He is finishing up his masters).
I will be 24 at the wedding, FI is 30. We're also both "old souls". I think it's a little strange for people to judge couples getting married in their early 20's (or where one person is in their early 20's)... it's sooooooooo common. My mom was 23, dad was 24 (married 35 years) and my dad's parents were 16 & 18 (married over 50 years). Even now, half of my graduating class is married. Especially considering we're at war and a lot of military people get married young.
My parents are completely supportive and I haven't heard one negative word from anyone about my age or our age difference. He does have an ex girlfriend who's 32 (making her 8 years older than me) who thinks it's "disgusting" that I'm "like... five." (twenty three, five... what's the difference right?) and he's "creepy". I'm sure she's so very concerned for my well-being.
Anyone who loves you won't care how old you are. They'll care that you have a happy and successful marriage. Anyone who comments about it, as my fiance would say "piss on 'em"
I'll be 21 and FI will be 23. We've dated for 2 1/2 years now, and been through a lot together. I've only had one person tell us we should wait, but it was only a coworker who really doesn't know us at all. We both support ourselves anyway and since I live in a different city now it will be nice to be together all the time :) Both our families are extremely supportive.
I'll be 23 and FI will be 25 on our wedding day. We will have been together 8 years when we marry. I think it's appropriate for us. We know each other very well and are very, very excited about the wedding. We both waited until we were done school, careers are underway and we're ready to start our adult life together.
My family is very supportive, his is starting to come around but initially weren't. They've never commented on my age though, they just don't care for me. We're marrying a bit on the young side, but it's nothing anyone has raised an eyebrow at.
I was 18 when we got married and he was 25. Age really doesn't have any significant bearing on whether your marriage is set up for success or not- rather the maturity and dedication of the both of you.
Love this! I'm constantly getting the "oh wow you guys are so young!" reaction. I'll be 23 when we get married in the church and have the reception. My FI is 25 and a Lieutenant in the Marine Corps serving in Japan right now, so we're thinking of getting married legally next time he comes home. So technically I'll be 21 when we get married which is probably going to be in October!!
