    Is there a right or wrong age to get married? Can you ever be too young or too old to get married? Don't worry ladies I'm not going to ask your age, but when me and my H2B got enggaged I was 21 and he was 23. When we get married I'll be 23 and he'll be 25. We don't think we're too young and at the right age. But I was just interested in your opinions about age and getting married?

    It's not really about age, more about whether you've met the right person and if you're emotionally mature. I'll be 24 when we get married, and h2b will be 28. x

    Next year when we get married I will be 36 and h2b will be 3 days off 40. I dont think theres any right or wrong way. The one thing I do love about the age I am now is that our 2 boys will be able to share our day. xxx

    I think only you know how you feel and when it's the right time. Everyone's different. I always thought that I'd be married by 25 and have children before I was 29 (my mum was 29 when she had me and she was by far the oldest mum in my class)!!!
    I'm 33 now and I'm glad I waited this long (I wouldn't have even met my H2B when I was 25, for a start)! I've got my career (even if I hate it at this very moment) and I feel I know myself a hell of a lot better than when I was in my 20's. I'm much more self-assured (H2B says bl00dy minded, lol!) and confident about asking for what I want and need. But I always have been a bit of a late starter, lol!

    i will be 21 when we get married and my H2B will be 22 - we know that we are looked upon as 'being too young' by some people, but we both know that we want to spend the rest of our lives with each other.

    i dont think its the age i thinks it the maturity like some people think they are in love but infact there in love with the idea of been in love, and dont realise the difference.
    at the end of the day and i dont mean to sound like a cow and its not aimed at ANYONE but out of us all gettin married half of us will end up divorced no matter how in love wi are u never know whats round teh corner or whats goin to happen.

    when i walk down the isle i plan on spending the rest of my life with him, but im also aware that things could go tits up and we are part of the percentage risk that could end up in divorce.

    but i say if u feel ready go for it other wise u will never know will u.
    and goodluck and i wish everyone a full long happy fun married life together x

    i dont think there is a right or wrong age to be honest. if you love each other, are happy and want to spend the rest of your life together then that is all that matters. however saying that i was watching a program about teens getting married at like 18 last week by the time the show had aired they had split up as they were too immature to handle marriage and didnt understand what it involved.

    at that age people are so easily influenced whether you think that at the time or not and they dont think about the long term future.

    i got enaged when i was 21 and h2b was 35 and when we marry i will be 23 and h2b 37. i would say this is a good age as i have done things like have girly holidays and clubbing, getting drunk and am ready to settle down, but again everyone is different so some people may not be ready still.

    only you know if you are ready there is no right or wrong age xx

    I don't think age matters. Ill be 20 and h2b will be 23 when we get married. We got engaged 3rd April 2010. we weren't expecting to get married this year though. But it just feels so right! I can not wait to marry him. We were together when I was 15 but broke up and got together again when I was 18 we have been inseparable ever since. Well when hes home anyways. My friend got married when she was 19 and is very happy!! -

    Its a celebration of your love for one another. When the time is right the time is right to show yourselves off to your family and friends :) xx

    I don't think it matters how old you are. What matters is how you both cope and deal with situations. Communication and listening skills are the key to any relationship as well as being able to both give/take and respect each others thoughts and feelings. Some people never master these skills no matter how old they get. If you and your h2b can do this then it doesn't matter how tough times get you can get through anything. Age really has nothing to do with it. I guess the only reason they usually say the older you get the better it is because most people learn through mistakes. It doesn't mean that you have to make mistakes to get it right though. Some people are naturals and others are not. I have to admit I was one that had to learn by mistakes but I'm thankful I got there in the end.

    My mum got married for the 4th time last July at 44 she re-married her 3rd hubby it was the first time she had the proper dress and her hair done all nice she looked amazing but in the 6 months leading up to it she worried about her age and thought she was too old for her first proper wedding on the day her feelings got worse until she signed the register and was a wife again Then she had the most amazing day and loved it.
    I don't think there's a right age or wrong age but think if I'd said at 18 I'm getting married my mum may have said something about it as by my age 23 she was already divorced twice but that's just based on her mistakes. Now she's happy and glad I'm going to be married next year XX

    If you've found the perfect person for you then that's all that matters. Sometimes I think people think me and H2B are young, we're both 21, but we've been friends since we were 11 and lived together for 3 years, if we were going to get fed up of each other we would know by now! = D We are hoping to get married when we're 23 (getting a house is our top priority atm!) but we may have to wait even longer to afford a wedding, but I know I've found my partner in life.. I've never felt this happy. I would say to anyone who feels the way I do then you are ready! = D xxx

    i think 21+ is ideal. Wouldnt recc younger as I would have married ex and he was a right *** but you dont realise at the time as you are still learning and finding things out for yourselves.... you are also still growing psycholigically and could be a different person when older and may have founf you grow apart. At 21 tho then this should be ideal.

    hummmm... i think this one is a hard one to ask really.. personally i think im to young to get married as im only 22.. and i can honestly say you change a lot in what you think you want and who you are from 16 to 19 to 20 even from 21 to 22.. i dont think there is any rush to get married.. i think it all depends on your situation rather than ur age.. so if you are living together have plans for the further ect ect.. Plus my mother always said you never know someone untill you live with them!!!

    i got engaged when i was 21 but dont want to get married until im 26 as i think by then i will be ready to start living life with my H2b.. and i guess it cost a lot to get married so you have to weigh everything up.. and the reason why.. i know a lot of my friends wanted to get engaged just for the status of it.. so if you can say your ready your ready no matter if you were 16 or 61! :D xxxx

    I agree with most of you, age doesn't matter but you have to know what it is/means to get married, its not just a word or a big party you have to be prepared for the responsabilty of life once you become married and that its about working together as a couple and finding the right balence in your relationship to keep it strong and for it to last. The people i look up too in regards to relationships is my mum, her and my dad have been married 29 years they were both 20 when they got married and i often sit with her and talk a while and she always says to me what xjox said in a relationship its about communication and listening and having respect for each other.
    I will be 25 when we get married and h2b will be 33 xx

We have booked the church and venue and people still arnt interested. We have been together 7yrs(8 when we get married) and have a gorgeous little boy who is 3 in July, I think we are more than ready to settle down and love each other a lot.

    I don't think there is a right or wrong age to get wed, it's when you're ready for it. When we get married in two years I'll be 34 and H2B will be 47. There's 13 years between us but it never feels like it as OH looks young for his age plus we're so similar in our attitudes, outlook on life etc....

    We've been together 6 years and when we announced our engagement our friends and family said, about time! lol ;)
