How Old Were You When You Got Married?

We'll both be 22. We've been together since we were 16 so our families are totally supportive.

My first marriage I was 24 - in hind sight I should have waited, we rushed into it, and really had no idea who we were and what we wanted out of life. I am not saying that is the issue for everyone, but I wish we had waited another 2 years...things would have been so different.

This time around I am older/wiser and definitely would never settle or get confused by certain things.

I will be 26 when we get married and FH will be 30. I think we are both at the perfect time in our lives to get married. We will have been together almost 7 years when we get married. I think it would not have been right if we rushed it and got married earlier. This has given us time to live together for a few years and truly get to know ourselves and one another.

We’ve been together since we were 16 and will be getting married at 21.

First time, 29, this time I was 52. People were surprised my hubby finally got married at 52 for the first time, lol!

When we get married we will have been together for 4 years, I will be 31 and he will be 29. I’m happy I waited because I know my FH is my person. Our families are supportive of us getting married but about 50% of them don’t seem to really care. My FH dad, stepmom, and brother and my sister and brother just don’t seem to care, they will not be attending the coed bridal shower or the night before dinner. My sister isn’t even coming to our wedding due to her having a vacation 2 weeks before hand (she can cancel her vacation with no extra fees). But we’re happy we found eachother.

We are 45 and 44 it's my FH 1st too he knocked some people literally off their feet when we told them!

We don't get married for a few more months, but I will be 24 and he will have just turned 26. We got engaged at 22 and 24, after being together for 3 years and living together for 1 1/2 of those. A few family members suspected I was pregnant (I wasn't) and our parents were a little surprised and pushing us to wait a bit (we were both still in college), but everyone calmed down and was excited for us as soon as they heard we planned on a longer engagement for the sake of graduating and starting careers.

I was engaged when I was 25, he was a bit older, 31 I think? Glad I didn’t go through with that because that would have definitely ended in divorce. Now I’m 31 and my FH is 36. We will be 32 and 37 when we get married in April. 😊

I got engaged when I was 30 and he was 33. I personally am glad I waited. I would not have made the right decision when I was younger. I didn't have the wisdom to know what I wanted and needed out of a life partner.

I’ll be 22 at our wedding and FH will be 24 (1 month before his 25th birthday though).

No one close to ME thinks we’re too young (or at least, they don’t say so lol). We were together for 2 years when we got engaged, will be 3.5 years by the time of the wedding. My friends love him and my family has basically adopted him (mom calls him her “third child”). Most of FH’s friends are supportive but one of his friends gave us a ton of crap about being too young, though this guy is a huge commitment-phobe himself so he was not the most objective source 🙄 FH’s extended family is supportive, immediate family says we’re too young but they also just don’t like me in general so I think the age thing is just their excuse for not being supportive lol.

Not that I really care what other people think anyway! I’m an old soul in a young person’s body! My grandparents were married at 19 and have been happily married for 60 years. My parents got married in their mid 30s and are divorced. Age means nothing to me!

We married when we were 19 through the state, and recently just married through the church (25 about to turn 26)

Met hubby on my 26th birthday, he was 24 years old. We got married 2 1/2 years later so I’m 28 and he just turned 26.

I’ll be 27 and he’ll be 28. Been dating since we were 16/17!

I got married last month at 27, husband 30. That's pretty much the national average. When I think about it, it's probably the sweet spot for avoiding judgment. Nobody has made passive comments about us being too young nor have we received any comments about us waiting too long. It's surprising to me because the one thing I can rely on is judgment from others haha. Nobody should be judging others regardless.

Engaged at 26..will be 28 when I’m married..he’ll be just shy of 28..my family was basically saying “about time”..well a couple did lol we were together 5 years & it will be 7 by the time we’re married.

I’ll be almost 22 and FW will be 30 when we get married in May. Our engagement will be about a year and a half long. We moved in together pretty fast, 6 months of dating, but we’ve lived together for over a year now. Both of our families are super excited and supportive of us

We’ll both be 21 (or 22 honestly it depends on the venue) and we’ve been together since we were 17. We’re having a very long engagement lol.

Omg I used to feel old knowing we’re 31 and 36 and dating for 4 years. Although, I had a blast as a single, working girl doing my own thing in my early/mid 20’s even though I always probably wanted to find “the one” sooner and have kids already... but now I look at our life thus far and am so happy we have careers we love and we have been able to travel a lot. It feels natural to have a new chapter and parenthood to look forward to! No regrets!
