When you were little did you decide inside that one day you would like to get married? If you did what age were you? Did you already picture the type of man or women you would like to marry? And anything else you would like to add perhaps you knew at a certain age that you did not want to get married.

When I was 4 I wanted to marry Bob from Sesame Street.. Because he was always so kind and nice and he could sing and dance...
When I was 5 and learned to write I wrote him a love letter about how I wanted to marry him... I offered to share all my dolls even my favorite one, I offered to let him choose which bunk he wanted (something I never would have dreamed of letting someone I didn't love with all my heart do.) I drew him a picture of myself wearing my extra special pink and yellow polk-a-dot sun dress with veil and bouquet... I was going to wear it to the wedding. and I told him we didn't have to kiss at the wedding because of cooties... (Cooties are a major concern at age 5)
I addressed my letter to:
Bob on Sesame Street
(I figured the mail man would know exactly where to take it..)
I used 26 stamps (dad was not too impressed) The only thing showing was his address and the stamps.. (When sending an important marriage proposal it's important to use enough postage... Dad was still not impressed ever after such a clearly devestating unflappable arguement... he just turned really red)...
I practiced walking down the aisle using a towel for a veil and moms entire flowerbed of petunias as a bouquet....Mom wasn't impressed but at least she listened to my "it's important marriage stuff" arguement and didn't turn really red like dad... She just stood there looking at the dirt in the flowerbed making weird mumbling noises under her breath and shaking her head... (She seemed ok to me this was a common occurance when I explained why I did something...)
I waited and waited, I watched Sesame Street everyday... I was sure Bob would either send a letter saying yes or tell me on the show... About 3 months later when I hadn't heard from Bob, my poor little pointed heart broken, I tore Bob out of my "Bob and Cookie Monster Poster". I boycotted Sesame Street... I threw my pink and yellow polkadot sundress in the garbage disposal (mom shook her head and mumbled, dad turned red... they were ok, quite normal actually)...
I wrote in my diary "I am never getting married EVER!!!!!!!! I HATE BOB!!!!!!" plus 5 underlines all in red ink .. (Obviously very serious)
Luckily I eventually got over my heartbreak...
I got my first real boyfriend at about age 10.. He tripped me on the playground and pulled my hair, I kicked him in the shin and told the teacher (It was true love).. Maybe I would marry him or push him into the sandbox.. either seemed plausable at age 10..
By age 15 I knew for sure I wanted to get married eventually it just took me 3 marriages over 11 years to find the right groom...
Luckily my mother had the forsight to save the Bob letter "marked undeliverable" as well as the mangled sundress, the mangled poster and my childhood diary.. She gave them all to me about 8 years ago when she found them in a box in the attic...

I'm 17, but I don't remember exactly how old I was when I knew for sure I want to ge married someday... I definitely want to find someone to spend my life with and have a family with. I want to have kids so much. I want to finish college before I get married (the track I am on I will have my masters when I am 24) and I hope to get married shortly after that. I want to have my own life established before I bring someone else into it, especially something permanent. But most importantly is finding the right guy for me; someone who will love me, respect me, be loyal, be my best friend... all of that. I have an idea of the qualities I would like my future husband to possess, but as far as physical characteristics that is entirely secondary. I've said this many times before: I will always choose the mediocre looking guy with a great personality than the guy who looks like a model but turns out to be a jerk. a relationship is so much more than just physical.

when i was little i knew that one day i was going to married. I was about 12. I didn't imagine the man that i was going to married but I imagine how my wedding would me like. I also imagine what kinds of morals does my future husband have. I want to be married at least by 25 or 26 and have a baby at the age 28...... and that would be a happy family.
how about you?

I know at thirteen I decided to not get married with the traditional ceremony, but donate money do charities and things. I might have a recpetion but get married at city hall or something. If I make an ideal everything, nothing I want will come true and I will become upset with life and bitter and won't pay mind to the actual perfect everything...

Unlike other little girls I never fantasized about marriage.
Monogamy seems almost unattainable and perhaps against human nature. Chemistry fades. Being in love fades. For awhile I feared any man would cheat and then for awhile I feared that my desire to be alone would make me abandon a marriage.
I'm still not sure it's possible (in my late 30's) for me personally to get married and remain truly happy. I'm in love with life and already feel fulfilled.

I knew at 19 that I wanted to marry. I did not marry that man,
but I did meet a better one a few years later, and married him
at 26.

I never wanted to get married. I never wanted children. I ended up getting married and having one child. The child part worked out well, but not the marriage.

Around 32. That is the first time I wanted kids and to live with a man and be a family. Before then having a boyfriend was good enough.

I always knew I would get married someday but did not
decide to do so until I was 27 yrs. old...I was 28 when I
was actually married.
