We both have the same age. We both work and are independent. We both study. No kids, never been married. What's the matter in wanting to spend the rest of my life with the man I love? And everybody knows we get a long and care for each other. We are the perfect couple. I believe it's envy. What do you think?

My boyfriend's parents married at 19, still together today. My parents married when my mom was 25 and my dad 28, and by 31 he had cheated on her.
There is no "appropriate age". All the best in your lives ahead together, may it be a lovely day, and may all the days that follow it be even lovelier. =)

I think everyone different and people tend to go on their own personal experience and feelings. I am 29 and getting married next year so when I think 22...... I think wow that's young cause when I was 22, I was wild and partying.... and didn't have a care or thought in the world. But my best friend got married when she was 20- which is almost unheard of in this day and age... and she is very happy with 2 kids now. And then on the other hand another friend is 28 and divorced already because she married at 22 and they both changed... It's different for everyone.
I think people are just relating to how they feel or how they saw themselves at 22. I know I for one was not mature enough to be married or even is a good relationship. But that doesn't mean your not.
Good luck, and don't worry about other people :)

Yep ... that's how I felt when I was 22 !! Marriage was just what we both wanted n we were over the moon at that point in time. Have u heard "marriage is the grave of love" n "marriage is like birds in a cage, those in it r trying so hard to get out, those out r trying to get in" (n lots more but not enough space here to quote the rest. So u have to decide, people don't say these things for nothing - sorry if I also sound like the others, I have nothing to envy u about. If u still go ahead, we can only wish u much blessings from God !!

LOL! Congratulations to you! I don't mean to chuckle, but I have heard that before. I think nowadays it's just a thing to say to someone still in his/her early twenties. Sometimes we still "grow" as an individual at that age and can find that who we once used to be first out of college, we may change into completely different people. While there's nothing wrong with that, most couples have a hard time learning to grow with each other. They may one day sit back and say "this is not that person that I married." I think you two will probably be just fine. Don't worry about that silly saying that others may say to you!
Congratulations! It's so exciting to hear when two people are happy together!

I don't see why they think it is crazy. I think that it is a wonderful idea. Your man loves u and u love your man. People just think that before one gets married, you should try other men and things like that, I really don't see why? If you found the man you want ...take him, marry him. No need to try something else to get hurt. You can enjoy and go out with him the same as being single., but this way you and him have the security of your love to each other.Congratulations in your upcoming wedding !! May God bless both of you.

I got married at 22 as well-- husband was 23. People thought we were insane. We were barely out of school, dirt poor, but were crazy in love. I'd be lying if I said it was a cakewalk the entire way. We struggled financially for a few years and our own immaturity at times made for some blowout fights. But we muddled through and we've been married just over ten years now. We're happier today than we've ever been, so don't listen to those naysayers. If you just know it to be true, that he's the only one meant for you and vice versa, go for it!!!

Did you just get engaged? People might think you're crazy for wanting to plan a wedding so fast. Other than that...
I've gotten a few snide comments about my sanity, too. I'm 20, but I'm not getting married until I am 22. Everyone says I'm too young, but my other option is to move halfway across the country and leave the man I love here until they say I'm "old enough." Don't listen to people, they're basing it off of what would work for them and/or a lack of understanding of your situation.

Well, many think that 22 is a bit young. However, you both sounds like you have good heads on your shoulders. Good luck to both of you! And don't have kids too soon, there will be plenty of time for that later. Travel, get a house, enjoy each other's company first.

screw um, when I get married, I will be 3 weeks shy of my 22nd bday, and I can tell you, I have done more and been happier in the 3.5 years Ive been with my fiance than I ever was in the 18 yrs preceeding knowing him, my life really started when we met, and I want to keep this feeling forever, I figure this way, I have a few more years to feel this way than if I waited till I was 30 or something! Whats the point, I found what I was looking for! why screw that up cuz your 2 young? what to "live more of your life?" You can do that (in my opinion, more enjoyably) with this man you are marrying! as long as you know hes the one for you, go for it! congrats and good luck!
