CommentAuthorOneDayMrsSmith
My Mom first got married when she was 17. But back then it was fine lol H2B's N+G were married at 16! Maybe you should try styles for your wedding day that will make you look older? x
CommentAuthorsarahwasabride

I found this really hard to read - wabu??? Enjoy yourself, just think you have more of a chance of hitting those milestones like 50 year anniversary than others and you'l still be young enough to enjoy your big party :)
I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do
CommentAuthorAtaraxia
Me too Rags :P
Don't worry about people thinking you're too young or whatever... it happens to most of us younger ones(I'm 21 next month) and there isn't really anything you can do... people will judge and make comments but at the end of day its not about them, it's about you and your fiancé.
Lots of parents and grandparents were married at 16-18 , which was the standard back then. When we get married, both me and h2b will be 21. And like Rags said, you have more time to enjoy marriage and the years ahead of you if you get married younger :) Me and h2b both want to get married now because whether we do it next year or in five years won't change the fact that we want to do it... why wait for the sake of it?
Got married 27th June and blessed on July 5th 2012
Finally Mrs M :3
Love, love... Here we are.

just think most of us are able to have babies at 10 years old and a couple hundred years ago, well a little more they worried if yotu werent married and had a child by age 12, but also they only lived till they were about 40. so its just gone up because our life expectancy has. Ill be 24 when we marry, pauls mum married at 8 and my mum at 21. i was engaged at 20and at 18 with previous partner (didnt last long after engagement i'll admit) but that wasnt because of my age. Just think they say a man doesnt get any maturer than he is at the age of 17. does that mean men shouldnt get married lol. Tht there are so many oppotunities you get these days, but you can do them as couple. just ignore them hun.
CommentAuthorfelicity.h
i ment pauls mum married at 18 lol
CommentAuthorRags
If I'd have met h2b when we were young I'd have been marrying him by the time I was 16! Unfortunately I had to put up with a couple of di c k head boyfriends who really messed with my head for a few years, then get over that and learn to love me again, be happy on my own so as soon as I got that down, I met h2b. I knew I was gonna marry him within about 3-4 months :)

My munm got married at 16 and her and my dad are still together, your quite ancient compared the couple on wedding house the other night, lol, congrats on your wedding! x
CommentAuthorTattieSoup
I'm only 22 and I look young for my age as well (my sister is sixteen and people occasionally think she is my older sister). A lot of my friends have said they think I'm too young but none of my family have. I think if you're clear about what you want out of life and know that your partner will fit in with that then that's all that matters.
In terms of suppliers and so on the only person who has been rude to me so far was a saleswoman in a bridal shop and I don't know what her problem was, maybe my age or something else but she was really snappy and made me feel like it was a huge effort for her to help me try things on.

grrr some people are so rude!! ignore them! so what if you are younger and younger looking?! you are in love right?! thats all that matters at the end of the day! if people are rude to you or making you feel uncomfortable either ignore those you can or dont give your money to those people who are providing you with a service (venue, florists etc) no one should make you feel bad!! rant over sorry!! i will be 29 when we get married but people tell me i look younger (some one told me that i look 20 max...bless him lol) I wouldnt change my dress, hair or anything to make me look older if i were you! wear what you want, marry when you are ready and have a fabulous day! xx

We'll both be 23. When I told my then boss I was getting married he called me stupid! Cheeky f*cker. Ben and I have been together 5 years, known each other for nearly 10 so we know each other and we know this is what we want to do. My family is fine with it, but his aren't. But we don't care. Do what makes you happy
CommentAuthorCompton2b
Thanks people ivory only had people funny when looking at venues like there looking down n that I was a young mum at 16. So I'm starting to get used to the funny looks end of day its my big day no Can reck that. Sorry if writing bad I'm on my phone has a mind of its own some times. X
CommentAuthorChezza
I was 19 when I married my first husband and had 2 beautiful daughters, my marriage only broke down because of his drinking and abuse in latter years. My youngest daughter got married at 16, our family history is of younger marriage. In fact when I was in my teens (im 60 now) things were totally different, if you were not married by 20 you were classed as "on the shelf"!

When we get married i will be 20. x

I was 18 when I first got married and I loved every minute. Although we divorced after 14 years together we still remain great friends. Age is just a number sweetie and love can hit you at any age. Enjoy it all and stuff anyone who doesn't wish you well xx

we will be 24 and 25 when we get married and some people still tell us thats young. age doesnt matter tho if its love then thats all that matters :) x
CommentAuthorLittle Miss Bump
Im a little shocked that people are saying 24/25 is too young, im so glad someone hasnt said that to me or they'd be recieving a few choice words, it just surprises me the change of attitude in just one generation my parents and most of my auntie/uncles got married between the age of 17-20 which seems that that was an acceptable age at this time (late 70's early 80's) yes some marriages failed, others are going strong, but now it seems frowned upon to get married young.
p.s if the people at the venues look down on you, i wouldnt give them my buiness personally x
CommentAuthorchani
we'll both be 28 - our families have asked whats taken us so long!
ignore people's attitudes - my cousin got married at 13 (it was in the 60's and abroad) and is still happily married! if its right its right (although maybe not at 13 :))
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
It depends on the couple to whether things work out or not and has nothing to do with age. I do think that as you grow older you change as a person as in you want different things in life, change you hobbies and lifestyle but that doesn't mean that the relationship has to break down. You will find that some people grow apart and want other things from each other but others grow together and still want the same things. No one can see into the future and predict what is going to happen. It doesn't matter what age you are if you are happy and in love then that is all that matters. Life is too short to worry about what could happen years down the line. Follow your heart. x
CommentAuthorMrsB
I'm 19 H2B 20 we're both a few months off hitting 20/21 I'll be 21 when we marry month away from being 22, H2B nearly 23 don't think age matters MIL & FIL been married since they we're 18 there now 40 If you feel ready for marriage and truly understand what its about then why not x
CommentAuthorRachel_Sarah
My mum was 17 when she married my dad who was 23. Il be 27 and h2b will be 23, got myself a toyboy.Noones told us we are too young (him not me) but his parents do think we are getting married too soon, we've been together 18 months and will be just under 2 years when we ger married so i dont think its too soon.
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
The thing is how soon is too soon? I was with an ex for nearly four years and it never worked out but I have been with the h2b for just over a year now and more than happy to marry him. I don't think there is ever a right or wrong time age etc.
CommentAuthor*Vixie*
im turning 22 next week and h2b will have turned 24 by the wedding. age doesnt mean much to me, my mum was 18 wen she married dad, who was 26. theyve been together 28 years and theyre still married after 26 years. xx
CommentAuthorOneDayMrsSmith
No, I've never been happier with anyone except H2B, I did freak out last year, it got to the 1.5 year mark, and I panicked and broke up with him. Then I realised we were perfect together, and we moved in together straight after getting back together. I nearly lost my chance with him and he's perfect for me, age should never be an issue. Love is love is love xxx
CommentAuthorbagpuss
i couldn't believe watching the wedding house the other week and them marry a 16 and 17 year old. absolutely stunned. i'm sure people do get married that young and are happy together forever. my mum and dad met at 16, married at 21 and are still together now 34 years later. but my god 16? that's madness!
CommentAuthorMrs Joyce
i turned 20 in august got married in october i have been with my husband 6 years and i understand how you feel but go for it if u believe it is right then go with it!

CommentAuthorTattieSoup
I think 16 is too young too - I bet it doesn't last. But there is always a chance it might, and if it doesn't they will just get divorced and that's not really such a big deal nowadays is it? Obviously they would never go into the marriage thinking that, but that's probably what their parents were thinking!
Did anyone see Cherry gets Married? On that there was a 16 year old girl whose boyfriend had proposed after only 5 days!! The girl's mother had told them they had to wait until they were 18, but his mother was really excited about it! Cherry asked if the mother thought her son was too young and she said no, definitely not, if they were in love they should go for it - she had been married young too. How long did that last? Six weeks!
By the end of the show the girl was pregnant and her future mother in law was pregnant too - with her 9th child. THAT'S the real commitment after all, and there are plenty of teens stumbling into that without even thinking about it. You can get a divorce anytime, but they can never take that one back!
CommentAuthorKirsty
We will be 28 and will have been together for 9 years by then :-) x
CommentAuthorCheryl22
i will be 21 when we get married and my OH 22. We have had people say that i am nothing more than a 'child bride' and we are stupid for getting married so young. However its usually strangers who say these things as the people who actually know us as a couple know how mature we both are and how we understand the value of marriage.

There is nothing so sweet in life, as loves young dream!
CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
me and my h2b will be 22 when we get married (im 10 days older than him hehehe) but we have been engaged since we were 19!!!!! but we thought about having a long engagement which i guess we have done and now it just feels right to get married now!! but i think some people dont think we should at our age but hay hoe its up to us and no one will dictate to us when we are very much in love! but years ago people used to get married at 16-17 so whats so wrong with it now?????
CommentAuthorljeh92
Im gonna be 19 when we get married, but i do look and act a lot older, ive never really had any problems, a lot of my mates thought it was strange at first but hardly any of them in serious relationships and they all call me old fashioned and boring (very kind of them) as i would rather spend my time with my wonderful h2b than getting drunk with them every weekend lol
Soon to be Mrs Laura Naylor !!

Im 23 and will be 24 when I get married as will my h2b .. we will have been together 5 years .. tbf I dont think age matters its what you have coped with as a couple, how strong you are and whether you want to spend the rest of your life with your partner .. me and my partner have two little girls, our house, our pup and marrying him will be the icing on the cake :-) although some friends and family may doubt it I know Im doing the right thing :-) xxx
