How old are you?

Posted on Planning 175

New and being cheeky, as I don't know what the average age is that girls are getting married nowadays, so if you want to please share your age! I thought I would be a lot older than everyone on this forum at 38 but it seems there are quite a few older brides and everyone isn't in their early...

    I'm 27, OH is 32. I think we discovered that the average age of the 2013 brides group was 28!

    Haha yup from the replies on here you are so far, and I'm second place ?, a lot of the 2014 brides are quite young though so far - how old will you be when you get married? Me & H2B will both be 22!

    Aww lovely ? I don't see the point in waiting until I'm older when I know it's inevitable we'll get married haha, will have been together 6 years the day we get married!! Most of our family members got married when they were around our age too. I just wish mine was closer now hehe ?

    Yes same here, my parents married about our age too...
    I feel sometimes that people don't take me seriously because I'm so young (do you get that too?)
    but we're going ahead with it, I'm just glad my family have been so supportive Smiley smile x

    Get that all the time, but I also think they do that as I'm planning our wedding so far in advance too!! But I know how stressed out I can get and how I want everything perfect, so for me starting this early is for the best ?

    Yeah, H2B's parents married at the same age and have been married nearly 30 years! All of our family have been supportive, apart from my sister who thinks I look too young - but we have a very big age gap between us so I think she just still sees me as her kid sister ? she was 27 when she got married but my BIL is a lot older than her!

    I'm 24! I'll be 25 when we get married. My OH is 24 at the moment, but 25 in June, so he'll be 26 by the time we get married. We've been together since we were 19 (five years on Tuesday, very exciting! ?), and I think I've known for a long time that I wanted to marry him, but we had a lot of stuff going on, and he told me when he proposed on Christmas Day just gone that when we moved in together in May last year that that's when he knew for certain that he was going to ask me, although we'd been talking about it for quite a while ?

    My Mom got married when she was 21 so when I was getting to that age she got very anxious about me ? I don't think she'd have forgiven me if we'd gone all "modern" and just lived together forever instead of getting married - OH doesn't really believe in marriage per se, but he's willing to do it for me because he knows it's what I want, and he's very much excited about planning the actual ceremony and reception ?

    Honestly, I still feel quite young to be getting married, but I think that's partly do with the fact that I'm a big kid ?

    25 is still young ?! We're very much the same - got engaged a couple of months after we moved in together, I think that's a big step and if you can live together & not argue with all the stress that it all entails, you're definitely made for each other ?!! The reason we're really getting married quite young is as I am quite traditional (in some ways) and want to be married before we have children. My H2B doesn't mind but it has always been a big thing for me and obviously he respects that ?. So the plan is wedding, mortgage then babies!! ?

    I'm 26 and OH is 29 which I think must be around average these days. When we went to ask the priest to marry us he told me "you know you have to be 16 to get married", I do look young for my age but not that young! ?

    I feel like this sometimes, but most people of my grandparents generation got married at this kind of age and they are the ones that seem the happiest. I've been with OH since I was 16 and I cant imagine being apart. To us, it's inevitable that we will get married so why wait?

    People doubting us makes me more sure that we will be happy forever because I always have to prove people wrong ?

    Engaged at 21, married at 22 and now I'm 23.

    He's a few months' older than me so it worked out as engaged at 22 and married at 23 for him.

    ETA: We were 17 when we met, together for just over 5 years on our wedding day.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one... I know we'll last, because we're both willing to work on it... we're not being naive and we know that you have to work hard at a marriage to make it work forever...
    we may be young, but age doesn't matter as long as you're ready and mature enough to make you're own decisions x

    Got engaged the week after my 21st birthday will be turning 23 just after we get married OH will be 28 . We have been together 5 years this year and have lived together almost two years so feel its the right time for us.

    I do get the odd person making comments such as '' I could never get married that young '' but thats there opinion my whole family and his are very happy for us and i think even a bit more excited than us .... at this stage anyway ?

    OMG! I got this from my brother's girlfriend saying she doesn't want to be a "young wife" in an obvious dig at me! But she's just had a baby with my brother, so obviously doesn't mind being a young mum! Grrrr that really annoyed me ??
