Time to look for that trusty brake pedal. S-L-O-W-D-O-W-N you're moving way too fast for someone who is sweet 16! Oh yes! It's possible to be in love at 16 - no doubt about that - but 16 is yet way too young to make a lifetime commitment. Give it some time (at least till 18 and even that's young!) before you take that big step. If the love you guys together is real - it will stand the test of time!

You should at least wait until you are 18, you need and he needs a steady job and a stable place of your own before thinking about marriage, but I would not say you are too young to fall in love, I feel in love with my husband at 15, got married at 18 and have been married for 9 1/2 years now!! Just wait a couple of years for the wedding part!!

If you really love someone so much, you will still love them even if there is no marriage certificate binding you two. Although it's much easier to get paperwork done when it comes to kids, getting married doesn't make much of a difference if you really love each other. You can live together, travel together and do anything together without a marriage cert.
A whole year isn't a very long time for a couple to be together..and if you get married so soon you may just regret it when you have clashing views on matters like college, work, finances.
So if you really love him, you wouldn't mind waiting til you're more independent and have achieve other goals (e.g. do you want to go to college? Get that dream job? travel around the world?).

We call that "puppy love" where I'm from. Your feelings are genuine, however there are other issues that should be in the forefront of your life's journey right now. Finish your education first (there are so, so many things to learn, even in regards to relationships). You'll be surprised by your new found perspective once you've become a full grown women. In the meantime, have fun with this guy. Keep him around. But don't rush into marriage or anything that is connected to an adult level of responsibility. Enjoy being young and free...and in love!

I speak from experience when I say this, because I got married when I was 19. I am a completely different person from when I was 16 (being 26 now). Night and day. Not in a bad way either, and what happened between my former husband and I was that we grew up and apart from each other. You are going to evolve into different people, and please, consider this before doing something as drastic as marriage. If he is truly the man you were meant for, he will wait for you to finish with your education. Don't tie yourself down so young! Go, experience life while you still can. You won't regret it.

You are not too young to know what true love is. I met my husband when I was turning 15. I was completely in love with him. I knew that one day I would marry him but we didn't get married young. We both wanted to get certain things out of the way first like college and starting a career. We wanted to have our finances in order and not struggle when we got married. We married when I was 25 and bought our first house. That was 7 years and 2 beautiful little boys ago. Just remember that marriage is something that can wait. Enjoy your love and all that it brings to your life. Grow with it and embrace it but save marriage for when you are an adult. If it is true love, then marriage will wait.

Wow, almost a whole year. That's like a lifetime :)
Sorry, I really don’t mean to sound condescending (for lack of a better word) but you just sound like such a teenager :) And there is nothing with that because you are a teenager.
At 16 you are certainly more than capable of feeling affection (who knows if it's love), but, in my personal opinion, you are entirely too young to get married. (and by the way, you need parental permission to do it). Finish high school, go to college, have some fun before you tie yourself down to a LIFETIME commitment.

Oh honey you are way to young, hell I am 28 and been married 5 years and still ask myself sometimes if I should have married him LOL.
You are not to young to be in love, you you are to young to understand what it means to be married, and all that comes with it. It is wonderful that he makes you feel so great. Just be careful, always use some kind of protection before sex. The safest bet is a condom with a spermicidal foam back up.
Im not going to preach to you not to have sex, or tell you that you are not in love, I know that you do love him and at your age love is possible. But remember with love comes responsibility.
Finish highschool and college and take care of yourself first and foremost.

I don't doubt that you could feel in love, but I do doubt that either of you really know who you are. Meaning as you mature, go to college, get out into the "real world," etc., you will understand your own likes and dislikes more. You will develop goals, opinions of the world, and a sense of self.
Many times young people go opposite directions in their beliefs as they mature. Then you have no common goals and nothing in common.
If you're certain you are going to spend the rest of your life with this person, why is there a rush to be married? Just continue dating. If the two of you are still together by the time you're a Junior in college, get married then. Until then you're just selling yourself short.

Alright, honey I'm going to tell you a story...
Yes, your and your boyfriend has been together for a whole year, but thats not that long compared to a lifetime.
I am 18, married and pregnant. I married a guy that's 22 we knew each other and dated for 6 months...
We have been married for a total of six months, and three of those months we have spent seperated. We are now trying to work things out. But, I realize now I wasn't completly ready for committment at the time of my marriage because if I was we wouldn't have been split up for those three months. I think that if I would have waited to get married I would have been better off....Please...Please...Please, wait to get married for awhile, because marriage is not all that its cracked up to be. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to the other person. There are going to be fights that your going to have and everything...Please wait until your older to think about such a committment....
