Marriage Age: Dream vs Reality

I wanted to be married by the age of 21 but actually got married at the age of 28.

What about you? What age did you dream of getting married? What age will you be when you actually get married?

    I don't think I ever had a real "dream age" to get married, but I always knew I wanted to have my first child in my mid 20s, so I guess the fact that I got married at 22 ended up working perfectly Smiley smile

    I have a long history of an eating disorder so didn’t really think I would be alive past my early 20s much less find someone to love me.

    Growing up, I always dreamed I'd be married by age 25 (after college, but before I got "old"). I'm actually getting married for the first time at age 52. Yikes. Smiley smile I guess better late than never!

    I never had an ‘ideal age’ but I never dreamed I’d be 43 by the time I got married.

    I never wanted to get married before I met my FH but I figured if I did get married I'd be close to 30 but I'm actually getting married at 20! What are the odds

    Did you think you'd get married earlier or later?

    I’m too old. Very few women my age conceive without medical intervention. And we’re not prepared to spend that kind of money just to have a baby.
    We’ve talked about adopting in a year or two but I doubt we’ll do it.

    I always wanted to be engaged at 19 and married at 21. I was blessed enough to find the man of my dreams, who is more than willing to make that happen❤️

    I actually never wanted to get married. I never intended to find a husband. Just enjoy my life. Life is funny that way. But I will be 37 when I get married.

    I’ll be just turning 30 when we get married, but I don’t think I ever had an age expectation prior
