I'm 19, and the love of my life is 21. We will be together 5 years this September...now, we are both in college, full-time students, and are, of course, working hard to try and live together and create a life together. We have been through a lot together in the time passed, and we continually grow closer and closer each day.
We really want to get married, and it almost pains us that it may not be possible at this point. We've been together a long time and really and whole-heartedly know we are the ones for each other.
Of course, parents have opinions, and it hasn't exactly been easy. Both of our parents want us to finish college first...but even if we do, I am certain they would not let us get married afterwards because we'd have to get jobs and get a steady income and all that jazz, which would take even more time....so I'm thinking we'd be up to at least 8-10 years of dating...which seems quite ridiculous to me.
My question is...do you think it is possible to tie the knot?

I know how you feel I was in that same spot!! I have been with my boy for 6 years now but we decided to get married and no worry about what other people say we are in love with each other and want to be with each other. Your parents will get over it you have to do what makes you happy your 19!! Do not let your parents get in between your true love your happiness!! They will be happy for you if not now later!! Just make sure you do finish school!!

Make plans and write them out on paper. See how long it will take the two of you to finish your college. Are either of you planning on working part time while in school? How are you planning on making ends meet when you get married? What about medical coverage, birth control, and all that? All of these types of questions must be answered before you can think of marriage. And if you do truly love each other, then do what you can to ensure you stay together.
All the best.

There's never going to be a "right" time for doing that, when it's not the school, is getting a steady job, getting a masters degree, whatever, ther's always going to be a good excuse for not doing it, just be sure to do it for the right reasons, not just cause ur parents, won't let you, ur an adult now, take some choices

it is possible but maybe you shuld wait unitl both of you get settled because then wait if one of u finds a job in a nother city but the other doesnt want to move or something like that so maybe its best if you guys wait to get settled and know whats going on, if u guys have been this long together y cant it wait a couple of years more that way itll be better

yes it's possible to get married. I'm married and I'm still in school, my husband works, cuz we're 5 years apart. he's 27 and I'm 21 (almost 22) , we had a really really small wedding. We got married almost 3 months now. We got married just me and him, and hired 2 witnessess.

it's all very romantic, but stop to think about it. If you get married, who will economically support you? You have to stand on your own before you get married.
