If you really want to get married you may wish to look into marriage in another state.

I was too scared to contemplate marriage at 16, so admire your courage.

On the same token please don't decide on marriage for the wrong reasons. Someone can be your strength wether they are your boyfriend, fiance, friend or husband.... the term means nothing. Marriage also costs ALOT of money. Please look into it... maybe fill in a wedding budget planner etc, there tends to be legal fees even if you elope. Now that I am in the throws of planning my wedding I kinda wish that we had of waited longer- cause we have so little money at the moment.

Good luck whatever you choose to do- and remember that you are your own strength, and another person's light only illuminates what you already have.

Do NOT get married.

If you are in a position where you require a legal guardian's consent to get married because the state won't recognize your decision, is a sure sign that you should be thinking this over.

I realize that you must really care and love this person. And at 17, you feel overly optimistic and good. But why can't you wait a few years? Why the rush? If you truly love each other, a few more years of devotion and commitment, without the paperwork, won't make a difference. You owe it to yourself in spending the next few years on your future--growing up, getting an education, getting a job, finding out who you are, becoming independent, etc. You need and deserve to be taking care of those things right now. Because without those things, how do you expect the marriage to succeed???

To be honest I think its best for you to wait with getting married. Wait until everything in the family is going fine, that way you are also sure that no one will object at the wedding. Really, you don't want an argument with your dad on your wedding day. It's supposed to be a happy day, so please prevent that it will turn out into something bad. besides, you are still so young. Of course you think your boyfriend is great and everything, and that good, but things can change prety fast, especially when you're still so young. Anyway, do you really think you're ready for marrige. Because that's the most important thing you need to ask yourself. I suggest you put down why you should and shouldn't get married. Believe me, it might help because you have to know that married life isn't everything either. You really need to think this through before you make such an important decision. good luck

I`m not being mean but why would you wanna get married at 17 you have your who life ahead of you to be married at this age is terrible you will never get to know how it is to be single or be able to experince living alone or any other thing. i will tell you that being married is the hardest thing you will do in your lifetime many people just get married and don`t think about it it`s a very very very big step where are you gonna live do you guys have a job are you gonna have kids what about education??? your just making your life harder than it has to be you`ll see i really feel sorry for you. I was married for 14yrs and got a divorce it was the worst and most happy time of my life all rolled up into one. I`m glad it`s over cause it was the hardest thing i did in my life i will never do it again. Good luck sweetie your gonna need it..Allen

How many times do you want to post this question? You are just hanging out for someone to tell you yes, get married. Well if you want that sort of answer you have come to the wrong place. Most people will say that you are too young. By all means get engaged, but why not have a long engagement, travel a bit, and enjoy your late teen years, have some fun before settling down.

My advice to you would be to wait atleast until you're 18 when you don't have to worry about parent's consent. I am 18, I will be married next March when I am 19. If you are 100% sure that this guy is the one, then congratulations for finding that in someone at such a young age. I agree that you should maybe just get engaged until you are 18. If this guy really loves you, he'll wait and if you guys are really meant to last, you will still be together then. Also, if you wait, you'll be able to save up some money for your wedding (if you'd have to pay for it) and also save up money for your life. Its tough starting out a marriage broke. So good luck! Be smart! Congratulations!

I know that in Mississippi only one parent must sign. I'm only three years older than you and getting married in two months. Honestly, when I was sixteen, I didn't know what I wanted. Why not have a long engagement? You can get married in Alabama at eighteen with no parental consent.

Nope, no need to get married at that age, you are a kid, and marriage more especially these days is not a joke, if that guy really loves you he will wait until the right time let your mother or guy not drag you, if a worst to come to a worst it will be you suffering and your final resort will be going back to your parents. Dont dare do that.

i mean this in a very nice way......"YOU ARE NUTS!" im sorry hun, but you are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too young for marriage! wait until you are at least 35 and have your own house, a career, and everything. you NEVER want to rush into marriage,especially because you are so young. you need to experience natural things with lots of other guys first. dump your current boyfriend right now. get involved with lots of other guys, you need to learn about ppl. when you have dated and done natural things with at least 12 other guys, then try to win your current boy back. if it works, it works. if it don't, then you know its not meant to be at all, and then you will know that your relationship with him was a huge mistake, and you will be GREATFUL that you took my advice. when you are 35 is the perfect age to get married, because you have a career a house and everything else. plus, you are much more mature at that age. i've been engaged since i was 15, and im 25 now, but i wont marry him until we are 35, plus it gives you lots more time to save up for your dream wedding! i already have $50,000 saved up towards my wedding, but i want it to be at least a $100,000 wedding. dont rush, you can only get married once, and you want your wedding day to be absolutely perfect!

I think that if your that emotionally unstable perhaps you should put getting married on hold. I think your dad is just concerned and possibly thinks your too young. If you need the consent of your parents where you live mabye the state thinks that your too young to make that desicion yoursele. If you and your husband to be genuinely love eachother and its meant to be then you can both wait till your eighteen when you dont need your fathers consent ?
