I'm 27 and my fiance is 20. We're getting married in Mexico this winter. Do you think the age thing is a big deal? We are so in love and he's the best man I've ever been with.

Age is NEVER a big deal, unless the people involved have an issue with it.
Don't let sociological restraints dictate your life.

Ew....this is a tricky one.
He might be 20, but what's his MENTAL age..? Because..I'm 26 and married to a 29 year old which a varying mental age. Women are usually older then men mentally and I worry later down the road that this might become more of an issue.
Make sure he's old enough mentally to be able to understand you and be able to communicate emotionally with you. How long have you been together? That's the big one...took us 7 years to decide to tie the knot and it's still not easy.. :) And there isn't a 7 year difference in there either...it's hard work, has he had enough living to be prepared for that type of commitment?

I don't think it is a big deal. The only problems with age gaps would be between you two. If he behaves a certain way you don't like or something like that but society wise, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Love has no age.
My boyfriend is your fiance's age and I'm eleven years younger than you. It's up to the people involved.

If the two of you have good communication, respect each other for who you are, trust each other and and are ready to make a commitment, then go for it. You are both adults and obviously have a lot in common, so age isn't a factor. My wife is 15 yrs older than I am and this is the best relationship I've ever had. We are best friends. That's important, too. Always be each others best friend!
Good luck to you!
