Are there any young brides out there? 18-24 how is your wedding planning going so far? Are any of you getting any negative comments or just happy ones? Congratulations to all who are getting married I know how excited I am! Just curious to see how everyone else is handling this process.

*Update*

I apologize if anyone thought I was being rude or calling them old. I was just looking for people around my age to comment to see what they were feeling and what not. Thank you to all the people who did comment and were helpful!

    Agreed @OG Kathryn, hence why I mentioned that my FH's parents didn't meet until they were past 30, 32 and 53 respectively and did not marry until 3 years after that. Getting married young is not for everyone and is certainly not always the wisest choice, but that doesn't mean it never works. I think it takes some deep personal reflection and listening to friends and family's opinions before this kind of decision should be made

    I haven't read all the comments yet, but I'm 22 (turning 23 in three months) and we're waiting until we're 26 for the wedding.

    @Kasandra- Just a general tip, using sentences and proper grammar make it much easier to understand what you're trying to say.

    I am 21/ will still be 21 when I get married this summer, FH is 27 and will be when we get married. As far as comments we had more negative comments about our age difference when we started dating (mainly my family) than when he proposed. Our wedding planning has gone well, we didn't start planning until after being engaged for a year. By the time of the wedding we will have been together 2 years and 10 months. So far with the engagement the only negative comments have been from my dad. But my dad and I are not very close so he gets all his info about me from my brother so I don't know how true what he is saying is.

    Well damn.

    Miss me with the over 24 being an old bride shit.

    I am very young in my 30's. There is levels to this shit. Obviously- since you classify yourself a "young bride" you ain't on my level.

    I guess I'm old now at 25. Some days I feel like I'm adulting, other days I feel like a kid playing dress up. I've been w FH since I was seventeen so everyone is excited for us!

    I was married at 21. Now I'm 30 going to be married again at 31. There is a huge mentality gap there!! I was "mature" at 21, but I'm definitely seasoned, traveled and more mature now.

    College roommate got married at 20, between our junior and senior year. Her parents had been divorced and she was essentially raised by her mom, dad was not around much. She always said how important it was to her to never get divorced, and how marriage means much more than that. She was divorced after about 4 years.

    I think the beauty of getting married to your high school sweet heart or someone you've been with since you were 15 is that you can learn and grow with them. They've been with you at major events in your life, and you can both grow into adults together. Smiley smile just my take. Do what makes you happy people.

    I got engaged at 23 and married at 25. We made it 10 years but grew a part. Strangely enough I know like 4 other people who got married at 25 and divorced after the 10 year mark. Now I'm not saying all you 24 to 26 year olds will have that issue I think it couldn've went either way. You're both going to grow and change. It can either be together or a part.

    Noooow I'm an old AF bride at 36 lol

    I'm still confused why 24 years old and 18 year old are being clumped together....

    @Kasandra she's right though. You might not like to hear it. If you wait until you can afford to pay for your own wedding you won't need to worry about anyone else's opinions about what you are doing. A lot less drama there.

    Kasandra, you can't tell people how/not to post. It's against the forum rules.
