I'm 22 and my fiance is 23, although my mother hasn't come out and said it. I think she believes that I'm to young to get married. I was just wondering how old you were when you got married?

My first wedding, I was 18 and he was 21 (our daughter was six months). My second wedding, we were both 33 (it was a month before our youngest son was born).

i'll be 29 and getting married in a couple months.
There's nothing written that says that you have to get married right away. You could possible wait till your fiance is 25. That's only two years away. Two years in planning a wedding is not unheard of. It will give you time to save money and plan everything out leisurely.
In my opinion, 22 is young to get married... How long have you known your fiance for? If you've known him for less than 3 years, I would wait another two years before tying the knot.
During your early twenties, you will change the most in developing values and interests.

I got married last year at 33 and I am glad that I waited as I was able to pursue my career, travel the world, make my own money and be truly independent. I remember being 22 and if I had gotton married at that age I would have missed out on all of the opportunities and experiences which I had as a single adult.

I just got married June 10th of this year, I am 23 and my HUSBAND (sorry I like saying it! :) ) is 25. We were originally going to wait until I graduated college but it seemed silly to wait when we love each other so much. I don't think my parents were extremely thrilled about it at first but we had a long engagement and by the time the wedding got here they seemed fine with it. You need to trust how you feel and not worry about what other people think. Congrats and Good Luck with your planning process!

I was 21 and my husband was 23...we've been married for almost 3 years now and have a beautiful 1 yr. old son. When it's right you know it...Congratulations and good luck!!
P.S. We were engaged 2 months after we started dating, and we dated for 2 /2 years before we got married...it took that long to plan it!!

i got married in february and turned 29 five days after the wedding. i think it was great timing - i had lots of time in my 20's to figure out who i was and do all of the things that i needed to do before settling down. plus, i was mature enough to take on a divorced man and his children.
on the other hand, my sister got married at 20, was pregnant (despite using birth control) and had my nephew at 21. her husband is just a year older than her. seven years and another child later, they are still trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up, there is tension because of stressful finances and an unsure future and the kids, though gorgeous, are big handfuls as they act out the stress they see between their parents. additionally, i was in three weddings for friends who got married just out of high school or in college. all three of these have wound up in divorce.
give yourself time to make certain that you know who you are, what you want and where you want to be down the road. if you can wait for marriage, then wait. it won't cause any harm to postpone a wedding (and perhaps seek some pre-marital counseling with your fiance) while you discern what you truly want.
