Canon Law states:
Pastors of souls are to take care to dissuade youth from the celebration of marriage before the age at which a person usually enters marriage according to the accepted practices of the region. (Canon 1072) http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P3W.HTM
This means that the minimum age will vary according to the customs and law of the area.
Florida law says: If an individual is under 18 years of age, but older than 16 years of age, a marriage license can be obtained with parental consent. http://www.coolnurse.com/marriage_laws.htm
With love in Christ.

The sooner, the better. Marriage in the Catholic Church tradition means having kids. You marry to have a family. So, the sooner you get married, the more Catholic children you will have.
The more Catholics in the world, the more power and money the Vatican will have.

Anywhere and everywhere, it's 18 BUT no younger than 16 with parents' permission, in the United States.

You have to be of legal age (civil law) or if younger you will require parents or guardian signature on a document. They will not marry you if under 14.

You would have to meet the requirements of getting a marriage license in whichever state or country you live.
