Weddingbee boards
I'll be 28 on Friday! Whee! I'll be 29 when we marry. I wish the 20 board were split because it seems like it's such a life changing time in your life. I mean from 20-25 and 25-30 you are two different people. At least I was. I can't relate to most things on the 20's boards. So who is in 20's limbo with me?
I'm in 20's limbo! I'm 26. I don't feel like a "young bride" like most of the girls on the 20's board do.
@Miss Tattoo: I feel l ike I am. I'm 26 now and will be 27 when we marry (FI is 27 and will be 28). I feel like I am SO different now from when I was 21-22.
i know exactly what you mean. i'm 27 and the 20s board always seems wayyyy young (no offense to you younger ladies....enjoy your youth! lol)
Happy early birthday! I think 30-something can mean late 20s as well. Hell, I have some friends in their 40s who still consider themselves 30-something.
Me too! I'm 26 but had the mentality of a 26 year old when I was 20....so does that make me 32?
Meeee too! I'm 27 and I don't feel I can relate as much to the young brides on the 20's board. My early 20's feel like forever ago, and I've definitely done a lot of growing and changing.
Sooooooooo true. I'm 28, and will be married just before turning 29, but I also feel much older than the brides in the 20's boards. I think I can related more to the 30s boards, but of course I don't want to speed up my age just yet. I'll just keep fluctuating between the two
yes. . me too. 29 in about 3 weeks! most of my friends and my FI are older than me so I don't think I've ever posted in the 20's board, while I have posted in the 30's board a few times.
@Miss Tattoo: So True! 20-25 is soooo different then 25-30. I'm 27 so right in that "too old for 20s, too young for 30s" too!
As a sidenote, by friend is turning 28 this month and the theme of her b-day party is "Old Enough to Know Better, Still Too Young to Care" I love it!!
@souliganprincess: exactly! I don't want to speed up the process!!! I just feel like there should maybe be a split because I am not going to relate to a 21 year old who is still living at home with her parents and having curfew issues or something.
@Miss Tattoo:Oh Miss Tattoo, I have felt this way since I was 25. Once I turned 25 I became obsessed with being 30. Now I'm 30 and I don't have a lot in common with people my age. Come to the 30's board tell everyone I invited you:o)
I'll be 27 at the wedding (26 now); I know what you mean...but there seem to be a fair amount of late-twenties brides, too.
@Miss Tattoo: totally agree! I got married at 27 and am now 28...*sigh*
Yep, I'm with you. I feel like I relate more often to the 30's board than the 20's. I'm 28 (welcome:)
@Miss Tattoo: I know exactly what you mean. I'm at the ripe old age of 26 ;) I really don't have the same issues as a 22 year old who is waiting.
I'll be almost 28 on my wedding. There are a lot of life changes in the mid-late 20's. I finally feel like I'm comfortable with myself and I have a degree of independence and clarity of purpose that I didn't have when I was 21.
Also my FI is 35 so again, different issues with him than with ladies whose grooms are 22, lol.
I guess it's broken up like that cause it's easy. Naming a board "18-25" just isn't as cute as "20 somethings" :)
I'll be 30 in April-SO glad so I can REALLY post on the 30something board. I don't like the 20something board. I don't like reading about "someone is jealous", "I'm too young", "I'm the first to get married in my group" I have 12 bridesmaids". Seriously, after a certain age, you don't have THAT many close friends, but maybe that's just me and my friends.LOL
I'm 24, but I feel worlds away from people even just a couple years younger than me. I've been out of college for almost three years already, I'm living on my own and paying all my own bills, and I feel like I can officially call myself an adult. I feel weird reading stuff by girls even the same age as me who are still in school and/or living at home. It's not the same.
I TOTALLY agree with you! I a 27 and will be 28 when I get married. I feel that 20's are too young and 30's are to old. There is no in between! :)
@MsMamaBear: You are right! If I got married at 20, I would have had 15 bridesmaids. Now that I'm older, my TRUE friends have stuck around. Usually the "She stole my colors!" threads are started by the 18-25 group and I just can't relate.
Totally agree! I am 28 and life right now is very different than life when i was 23. There should definitely be a 25-30 board.
I may only be 22 (24 when married), but my maturity level is older than my age. Hence why age is just a number. =)
Edit: J and his family call me the "old soul".
I turned 30 right before we got married. I would sometimes read the 20's boards and have a hard time. I think it's the very young 20 posts that I couldn't relate to, and the older 30's posts I wasn't there yet either. I always tell everyone that your entire life changes when you turn 25 and all of my younger friends/family looks at me like I'm crazy until they turn 25 and then they totally agree.
I agree with everyone's thoughts..... maybe the problem is that all of us in our later 20's are just not posting in the 20s board so we feel out of place. After reading all these responses there are clearly a lot of us so lets get posting in that section and maybe it won't feel "too young"
Sometimes I chuckle at the "I'm too young to drink! What should I do for my b-party!?" and I'm like WHAT!? What do you mean you are too young to drink!?
I'm right there now...28yr and will be 3 months shy of 30 when we get married next year. FI is 27 and will be 29 3months after we marry. I hated myself at 21yr and have a real hard time relating to that group. Just not where I am at this time in my life.
@mwitter80: It is something about 25, I totally agree but at 23 or 24 would have thought you were crazy.
I am 27 and pretty new with to the board, I have only checked out the 20's board a few times because I couldn't relate.
*Raises Hand*
I do I do!
I don't feel like I can relate to all a lot of the 20 something posts. I am 27 turning 28 in a month.
@Orange Snakeskin: The part of your brain that controls impulsive high risk behavior doesn't mature until 25. Seriously it's like an effing switch. When I was 22 and 23 all these people kept saying, "oh wait until you turn 25, things will be different." and I was like PUH-LEASE! I'm sure! Yeah, sure enough, about 6 months into 25 I was like...Whoa...who the hell was that person a year ago?
I'm 24, but my friend have been calling me by the nickname "grandma" since I was 16. I have an old soul and only enjoy random things are usually associated with much older people. Also, I've been out of college for a number of years, am a teacher, and am working on another degree, so I feel much older than I am.
I don't think all 20-25 years old act the way that they're portrayed in this thread, but I know what you mean...I don't often post in the 20-something thread.
Well, I'm 23 (24 this year) and I don't really relate to the 20-25 year olds most of the time. I started working a full time job straight out of high school and have climbed my way up the ladder since. I've been supporting myself since I was 19...I find it hard to relate to others my age who are partying, staying out late, or drinking excessively still. I don't understand not having any purpose or sense of responsibility.
Honestly I would probably be classified as a "young" bride, but I can't relate that to myself for some reason and am always wondering "So, why do you want to get married so young?" when people just a couple years younger than me are marrying.
Me too, me too! I'm 26. I dated someone for the first 4 years of my twenties. I can relate to many problems/issues/insecurites that early-20s brides are facing, because I experienced them in that relationship. Now I'm on the other side of a painful, life-changing breakup--and very happily engaged to FI. While my previous relationship was ending and I felt like a was being dragged behind (underneath?) a bus, I learned many things that keep me happy in my relationship now--what I want, what I need, how to tell if something is really a problem or if I'm overreacting, and definitely not to take anything for granted.
It's better on this side.
