Hon, you're way too young to think about marriage.... what you like at 18 ain't gonna be anything even close at 22, and by the time you are 28, fergetit. Oh, and have no children until your are in a rock solid marriage.... Just read all the questions on this site:
"Oh, what do I do? I am pregnant with my 3rd child by a second man. I have no job, no education, in a foreign country, he is beating me, I have no money, what do I do?????" Read 'em hon, and protect your future.... Don't be a fooooooollll.

A) Would you be able to afford flying to a different country often?
B) If this is a military marriage, I don't suggest doing so unless he will be stationed near you, or getting out of the service soon.
C) YOU'RE 18!!! What's the hurry with getting married. You have the rest of your life to live.
1) College
2) A career
3) Not legal drinking age ( and you'll want to go to clubs once you are of age)
4) You have many years ahead of you to plan a family
5) See the world.
6) Date! Jeez, there's so many single guys out there around your age.
There are more reasons to stay single than to be MARRIED to one guy at your age.

Getting married just so that you can get married at the same time as your friend is--I shall try to be polite--an extremely poor reason to get married. So, if that is your reason, then NO it is not worth it. Don't let her pregnancy and her decision to get married determine your own lot in life. I won't elaborate on the myriad of other reasons why this is a poor idea.

Wow
Difficult!
Different countries and hence - long distance relationship
Any culture clash issues? What would his parents expect of you? What would your parents think?
Would you live there or here?
I think 18 is maybe a bit young, but if you have your heart set on it and it is your deepest desire to make it happen - make it happen.
However, I feel that it is fraught with dangers and that because you are posting the question I don't think it is your deepest desire. I'd suggest you wait.

Yes it is worth it if you want a 86% chance of being divorced in less than 18 months.

18 is very young yet.. You are just beginning to see the adult world and believe me your wants, dreams, and desires will change drastically over the next few years.. Give yourself some time to settle in to your life before you take such a big step.

'We always wanted to get married at the same time'
If your going to get married and use this as one of your reasons, then DONT GET MARRIED

well,you should accept the fact that most marriages end,whether you get married in 35 or 18...i say go for it,because if it doesn't work out,you can always get divorced or get annulment...
