Marrying Young

Super confused, I thought you said your family didn't want you to marry this guy? But this is saying your parents really want you to? Can you further explain?

I agree with a lot of previous posters, like many of them, I'm also marrying young, so clearly not against it, but if you've been together for 2 years, meaning you were 15 and he was 20, that's not an age where that age gap is ok. Also, considering not inviting your family, like a previous poster said, can definitely be a sign of immaturity in some cases, I wouldn't go that route if you're able! The need to consider not even telling your family about your wedding would make me think that there is more to it than them being concerned that you are young, but maybe that there are other things they are concerned about. Obviously, there is a TON more to your relationship that those two facts that I, a stranger, know nothing about, but I would caution you to hear out those in your life that DO know your situation. Are they just upset because "you're young?" Then obviously, that's bull. But are they pointing out the age difference as an issue and citing reasons specific to the two of you as a couple? Are people in your life that you trust the opinion of cautioning you and making points besides your age, maybe telling you you have some growing to do before making this decision? Find the voices in your life that you trust, and hear them out, even if you don't like what they're saying. Best of luck!

I was thinking this exact thing. I was very confused where the story was going...
