Young brides

I'm 22 but me and my FH have been together for almost 5 years. I have only received one comment telling me that I'm too young but it was from someone I hardly even know so I just let it go. I am aware that I'm young but I have never been more sure of my decision to marry my fiance!

I'm 24 and FH is 26 but we will be 25 and 27 when we get married.

I'll have graduated law school and he with his masters. We've already bought a house and financially independent.

When I am around 21 and younger couples.... There's just such a different dynamic. We haven't received any negative comments... moreso "about time!" Since we've been together 6 years. I think young bride should be cut off at 22...

I couldn't resist from reading through all of these comments.

Hi y'all !

I miss you Greene !

I love how its insulting to be not included in this "young bride" category, but frequently on weddingwire posters will consider it a bad/irresponsible thing to be getting married before 25.

Just my 2 cents

I don't think anyone serious when they said they were insulted at being over the age of 24

I just hope poor Hannah was not as silly as I was when I first started posting and forget to turn off email notifications...I can only imagine what her inbox looks like right now.

I got engaged at 19 and I'm getting married at 21. When I got engaged i had family members questioning that I was pregnant and that was why I was getting engaged so young. 2 years later and no baby so that assumption went away . I think it's interesting that people feel the need to tell me I need to wait when they know nothing about my life. As of now, people seem pretty happy.

Hi, my fiancé and I started dated when I was 18, he was 26. Five years later I'm 23 and he's 31 and we're getting married a month after my 24th birthday. Not really had any negative comments my fiancé slightly older and most of our family & friends always knew our plan was to get married so it came as no surprise .

I think it's difficult to class 23 as too young to get married. Everyone is different. I have friends that are 30+ and are no way near ready to be settling down and getting married (nor do they want to) It really depends on the individuals involved and their circumstances.

We're getting married in just over 7 months on Lake Como, Italy and I can't wait! Hope all your wedding plans are going smoothly! Best Wishes for your special day!

I was engaged at 19 with my son's father and I am glad that never went anywhere. He proposed when I was pregnant which, in our young minds, was the right thing to do. After my son was born he became abusive and I left.

Now I am nothing like that 19yo girl I used to be. Even if things didn't take a turn for the worst with my son's father I doubt we would have lasted. We were babies - babies having babies HA!

Growing up is hard when you're in your late teens/early 20s. You'll be a completely different person when you're old and 30 like me.

However, I do wish all you young brides the best!

I am 27 now, and had you asked me at 15 when I'd get married I would have said 22 or something. Thank god that didn't happen, I would definitely be divorced or in a terrible marriage if it had been any of the guys I dated back then. Brain development studies are no joke! I have grown up so much between 18-25 it's insane. Of course you don't realize it at the time, but in retrospect it will seem crazy. Honestly, love is great, being engaged is great. Stay engaged until you're 25 or so! Enjoy it! What is the rush? I sometimes feel like an "older" bride, but I'll add in there that I am a more mature, WISER bride as well.

I am 21 and I am getting good feed back but a lot of vendors keep saying how young I am. I have been with my fiance 4 years now so I think our family saw it coming. The wedding planning is a lot of fun but stressful.

This whole thread made me shudder.

I'm 20 and I just shrug whatever is said off. My parents married at 17, and they're still kicking it today. It's your life!

Also: "Ya well my parents told him that and they keep putting it in my head that hes tge only one that they willk allow me with and to marry"

What????

Why is this thread still a thing?

I'm 22. Everyone has been encouraging and supportive. FH is 23 almost 24. No I ever has told us we're too young or not ready. We know we will have some issues (as every couple does), but I'd much rather go through those together than apart. I'm so blessed by my fiance.

I'm 24. Got engaged at 23. I'm pretty much taking my time with things because I'm also in grad school and working full time so wedding planning is here and there. We finally booked the venue and the church so now I'm in the stages of dress shopping and soon to choose the vendors

The only people who have been critical are people who don't know me. Everyone else is super happy for me and FH!

I am 21. Will be 22 when FH and I get married. FH will be 24. We have been together 3 years. I can honestly say, 3 years ago when I met this man, it was literally the best day of my life. He has brought so much love and happiness into my life, and I him. We have been through things that most couples our age have not. We have talked about the odds and the fact that they are against us. However, for us it's a risk we are willing to take. Neither of us believe in divorce, and we have both agreed if the going gets tough we will try everything before giving up. We are both a little bit scared, but above all we are so excited to take this next step.
