Wedding Forum - Being told I'm too young ):...

I'm 19, (20 july 1st and will be 22 on my wedding) my friends and family say I was born 30 and I'm 'older than my years' me and my fiancée have been together 3 years, one summers day we hooked up and have been together ever since.
At first everyone was happy for us, just lately ive discovered some friends b****ing about how old I am ... Am I too young? Personally I don't think so, but from other women's points of views not just my friends who think its okay to sleep around :/ xo

I don't think your young at all.
Me and oh got together when I was 17 he was 22 we had our little boy a year later and got engaged in 2011 we are getting married end of this year. I will be 22 when we marry and other half will be 27 :)
Like bev said, age has no difference, as long as your love your other half, you want to be together etc and ur solid. Then who cares
Xxx

Good post.

I felt like that having a baby at 18 lol

But like Cathryn said, your true friends will be there for you and happy for you, ignore what others have to say.

Xx

So ur birthday is July the 1st??? X has that's my birthday!!! But a erm few years older lol not to young if u know u have found the one!!! X

age doesn't matter, i know people who got married young and are still together 30 odd years later and also others who got married older and divorced within a year. if you're happy ignore what everyone else says xxx

I will be 21 and h2b will be 22 got together 4 years ago this month! Xx

Just think about this, my mum got married 2 days before her 20th birthday. 33 years later my mum and dad are still happily married and are as strong as ever. Age doesn't matter when you love someone one xx

If you are a in a long term, strong and stable relationship then who gives a monkeys behind!! age is only a number....!!
If you feel its right to get married then thats all that matters! it's about your happiness not everyone else's opinion.
I'm 24 and he'll be 26 when we get married! x

I will be 22 when I get married and me and h2b will have been together 5 years. Don't worry about what people say. Age is just a number. xxx

I would ignore them all. If you had been together three months rather than three years then they may have cause for concern. You seem to be level headed about the whole thing so enjoy it and leave them to gossip. They can't be enjoying their own lives much if they are busy about yours x

I was 20 when I met my h2b, he was 26, personally I felt too young to be thinking about marriage back then! But that was me, it didn't mean I didn't think I wouldn't marry him and have children one day but I wanted us to enjoy ourselves a bit first! We spent the next 7 years travelling, buying and renovating our house and now the time is right for us to take the next step and we are getting married next year, I'll be 28!

Hopefully we will be blessed with a baby shortly after but I find some people look at me like "what, your 27 and ain't had a baby yet??!!" so clearly you can't win either way, people will always have something to say!! As long as your happy, stuff what people think cos we are all different!!

My dad thinks I'm to young to even be engaged but I don't think so I'm 19 now like you will be 23 when I finally tie the knot age is just a number ignore what others say their not worth your time if they are talking behind your back and if they are real friends they would be straight with you and tell you face to face

People always find something to complain about. If it wasn't your age it would be something else. Do your best to ignore them. at the end of the day it's none of their business anyways.

Wow, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who gets stick for being engaged, I suppose your right about the green eyed monster business, a lot of my "friends" didn't want to know me when me and steven got together, then b****ed all over book of face that I abandoned them, as soon as i got engaged they piped up but once they found out who my bridesmaids were, i was forgotten about again and then I hear that they've said I'm too young, my mum was married at 16, nanna was married at the same age, my nan and grandad just celebrated 42 years of marriage! I just don't understand why girls have to be so b****y over something that they should be happy about for me! Xxx

Everyone will have an opinion but at the end of the day it is your decison.

I met H2B at 17, moved in with him at 18 and brought a house together at 19, everyone said we were way too young and doing everything so quickly.... we grew up together. However we hit about 24 and everything started to go down hill a bit, we had not fallen out of love but almost gone stale and too compliacent with each other so we ended up splitting up.... everyone then said, we knew it would happen, you got together too young, blah blah blah! We got back together 3 months later then engaged 6 months later. My point is everyone likes an opinion, we were young when we got together but still strong now 9 years later but you can hit that blib we had at any age, it was nothing to do with how old we were but how long we had been together and stopped working at our realtonship. My parents got married in their late 20's but divorced now yet we have some good friends who were married at 21 and really strong !! xxx

Your 'friends' are not worth it honey.... they are probably just concerned ! I am however glad me and H2B waited so long, it has almost cemented our realtonship more and actually in our early 20's we spent all our money on our house and building a future, Yes marriage is important to us both but actually spending money on the right things was more important as knew we would be together anyway so getting married at 20 or 30 made no difference to us.

I am the same, people say "Is this your boyfriend" and i reply no this is my husband.. "oh right.. sorry thought with your age.." and get it on the phone when i say MRS, they always reply ok Miss. I even get "Aren't you too young to be married"

I got married this janaury and im 22 same as my husband. My family do not think were too young, its just people who don't know us. Don't let them get to you, at the end of the day its about you and your H2B, but i do get why is anoyoying

I'm 36 and getting married for the first time..... Do you think I'm too old??
No???
It's just taken me all this time to find the man I want to marry??

You've found yours when you were young, LUCKY YOU!!!!
:-)

I'm in the same boat hun, i met my other half when i was 18 - will be 23 when we get married, plenty of people saying i'm too young but i'm older then what my mum, nan and brother were. And anyway it's about me and my OH celebrating our love for each other... xx

Mhmm, It is anoying when because just assume!
