    Hi! This is my first post!

    My fiance and I started dating when I was 23 and he was 25. We dated almost 4 years, and lived together for 2.5 years before he proposed. I was 27. When we get married, I'll be 29 and he'll be 30.

    I know lots of people here have said that it's different for everyone, and I have to agree. It's whatever works for you. If you know you want to marry him, stick by your guns and hopefully your parents/family will see how serious you are, and in turn take you seriously.

    I was 15 and he was 19 when we started dating. We got engaged when I was 24 and he 28, and will be getting married at 25 & 30. We also knoew from very early on that we would be getting married, but I wanted to finish school (I am finishing up grad school now) and he wanted to start building his career before any weddings! The timing has worked out perfectly for us, and because my family knows how serious and committed we are, they are really happy. I too am the oldest child in my immediate and extended family, so this is our first family wedding, and no one really knows what to do, so we are all figuring it out together! Getting married at 24/25 is considered young where I am, late 20s seems to be more the norm, so I can relate to you in that way. Just do it when the timing feels right, if you are serious about it, and if they like him, you will be supported!

    Wow that's a lot of posts. We met when I was 18, started dating when I was 22, Engaged at 24 (almost 25) and will be married at 26! He's a year and six months older than me. I don't know if any of these ages make you feel better. I think it's best to keep talking about the marriage issue with the fam, they will come around!

    We started dating when I was 19 (almost 20) and got engaged at the age of 23.  We haven't for sure set a date yet for the wedding, but I will at least be 25 years at the earliest we will have the wedding.  My family and my fiancee's are still getting used to the idea (though they are happy too) but I think it'll still take some time for them to feel really comfortable about it.  Just make sure you do what's best for you and keep on talking with your family - I agree with HarleyQuinn. I'm just happy that he wants to the spend the rest of my life with me... Whenever we get married will be the right time :-).  Good luck!!!

    I'm a young one...and a fast one :P
    We met when we were 18, started officially dating 4 months later (still 18), got engaged 3 months later (still 18, almost 19), and we will be married in August, at 20. 

    So yeah, we are given a hard time OFTEN. We got used to it, and know that as long as we're ready to get married, our parents are supportive, other people's opinions don't matter.

    Try to be truly honest with yourself. If you are concerned that you might be too young, than maybe some part of you feels that you are.

    That doesn't mean that its not the right relationship, maybe you just need to wait a little longer.

    My fiance and I dated for 5 years before he proposed. One reason is that he wanted to be older and able to provide as a husband. It should feel right and not be forced or a struggle.

    He will be 31 (32 the following month) and i will be 28 when we get hitched in June!

    My FI and I met when I was 20 (almost 21) and he was 23 (almost 24)...we got enaged when I was 24 and he was 27 and we are going to get married when I am 26 and he is 29.

    I think most parents are like that. My FI and I are both the babies of our families and they were not ready for either one of us to get married. I remember telling my parents about us getting engaged and my mother wanted me to give my ring to my sister's boyfriend so he could propose to her(my sister has two kids and she's not married - my parents are kind of old schooled). But after about a month, my parents came around to it. My FI parents were cool with it, but his six sisters and one brother had another story. They are consistenly asking him is he ready for marriage, which bugs me but oh well.

    We met when I was 16 and he was 18; started dating when I was 17 and he was 19; got engaged when I was 22 and he was 24!  We've been together for five years and ten months :)  It'll probably be another 2 years until we get married as we want to buy a house first and be financially secure!

    I was 20 when we started dating, 21 when we got engaged, and I was 22 when we married. DH was 23 when we started, 24 when we were engaged, and 25 when were married! It was difficult for my mom when we were first engaged, but by the time the wedding rolled around she was ecstatic!

    It's good to see some other youngins on here! ;)

    Started Dating: me 16 (almost 17), him 18

    Engaged: me 19, him 20

    Married: me 20 (2 weeks from 21), him 22

    We'll both have our bachelor's by the time we get married, which I feel like makes some people appeased. We're really lucky in having extremely supportive families, though!

    I was 14 and my SO was 17 when we starting dating its been awhile since then (i dont say my age) im out of highschool and hes in college though and even though were not yet engaged we talk about getting married in the next couple years if everything goes according to plan.  its when you feel like your relationship is ready for that commitment.  everyone is different so just because one person might say you should wait doesnt mean you have to!

    met:  13 (me)   16 (him)

    he went off to college and 'vanished' from my life:  14   /   17

    re-met:  27   /  30

    first marriage talks:  27  /  31

    engagement was going to maybe be 28 / 32, but now it's looking like 29 / 32.  but asking my folks permission might still be 28 /32 (i'll be 29 in 8 days).
