    Can you not get a student bank account?? These run for a while after graduating as well. I'm aslo a uni student and have managed to get married in that time so it is possible.

    Hey Hun, there are quite a few people who've got married whilst at uni.

    I thought you could get a bank acc at any age - I've had one since I was fourteen, although my parents had to set it up. But I set up one on my own when I was sixteen, so not sure what you mean when you say you can't save until you're 21.

    Lana I think just for your own online security purposes you shouldn't use your full future married name on the boards.

    Ok I might come under fire for this but your wedding is four years away and you are only 19 now so I would not plan anything at all for another two years if I was you whether you have a bank account or not. I'm only saying this because when I was the same age as you are now I had a boyfriend who I was in love with, I wanted to marry him and all that but after five years we broke up. Well I'm 34 now and marrying the real love of my life in 2 years time. I don't even live in the same country as I did when I was 19. My life took a completely different turn. I would even say I'm a different person now compared to what I was 15 years ago and although these are not words you want to hear but you start each word with a capital letter and that just tells me that you are still very young, you haven't matured yet which is absolutely fine at your age.

    So my advice is don't book anything yet, make it a long engagement and go out and enjoy yourself. Start thinking of your wedding in a couple of years time as you have all the time in the world so why rush it?

    Me and my H2B moved in together at 19, we both had current accounts since age of 18 and then also got a joint current account at 19 so we could pay our bills. There should be no reason you can't get a bank account.

    Age and marriage is personally about maturity, i am a fairey young bride myself at 22 and i get crisitsed by people who don't know me very well however as we have lived together for 2 and halfs years and been together 4 years now and know we are mature enough to make a desicion to get married.

    Plus theres nothing wrong with a long engagment! x

    Can't understand why you can't have a bank account at 19. I had one at 14, dad came with me to help set it up but was all in my name which I had control over. At 18 me & h2b opened a joint account, I was pregnant at the the time, to help with the baby and save for a deposit.
    I would enjoy the engagement for the moment, there isn't any rush your only 19, yes ill be 22 when I marry my h2b but have been together since we were 17, we have a 3yr old and have our own house which we bought. (I'm 21 now)

    Sorry but I was married at 19 (met at 17 got engaged on my 18th and married 10 months later), yes it didn't last obviously as Im engaged ow but it did last for 12 years and I had two beautiful girls from it but in my mind age is just a number so how old anyone is shouldnt be a factor as long as they are 18 and above!!

    This time round my wedding isn't until 2015 and Ive been planning awhile already, if you want to plan now then I say go for it!
    You don't have to do anything major just yet do what Im doing and get the small details like table dec's, garter shoes, thank you gifts. If you see something you like and you have the money then get it. You can do the big things like booking the venue, photographer, dressses etc in two years time but there is nothing you stopping you doing the small things now and age has nothing to do with it.......like I said I was married two months BEFORE my 19th birthday so your already older then I was when I got married!

    As for the bank account all 3 of my kids have bank accounts and they are 3, 10 and 13 so why can't you have one hunni, is there a reason??

    I dont think the age argument is one to get into, if she thinks shes ready to marry then thats her decision. I am also with my first boyfriend still (got together at 16) and we will both be 24 when we marry. It depends on your maturity and personality as to whether you are old enough to marry though and only you two will know that.

    I agree with the ladies about enjoying your engagement, maybe put off the planning for a few years and concentrate on uni etc.

    I also got a bank account at 16 so I dont understand why you cant have one, unless you're not in the UK???

    I met H2b when I was 19 & he was 18
    Fast forward 9 yrs and we are still together, 2 beautiful children and getting married on our 10th anniversary
    I dont think the age thing should be relevant as others have said
    I am glad I found H2B at a young age as I have friends approaching 30 who have not found THE ONE yet & that would terrify me!

    I would suggest waiting for a year or two as you may run out of things to do!

    i met my H2B 4 weeks after i turned 18 and he moved in 3 months later and weve been together ever since age is not nothing to do with it

    ps i got my first savings account when i was 7 and have had my current one since i was 16 (for my EMA and college/ uni payments) so i dont really understand why u need to wait x

    Maybe it's a trust account because sometimes you can't get them until u turn 21 x

    True about trust accounts but the way its phrased its like she cant get any account? If its a trust fund then it can be protected up until the age of 21 x

    Hello,
    I'm 20 and at uni and planning/paying for our wedding, h2b is 21 and at uni also (we like you got together young moved in with each other when i was 19). You say you can not pay for your wedding as your both at uni but don't you get student loan as that is what we are using and h2b works. I will be getting a job when i have finished my work placement and that will help us get extra things that we would like. I had a trust account from my dad but he let me have it early when I moved out helped us with decorating ect.

    Thank you for all your comments i agree age is just a number and i'm sorry for the way i phrased i can't get a account till I'm 21 i do have a account since i was 16, but my grandad set me up a account and i cant touch it till I'm 21 that's why i say i cant do anything really till I'm 21 like book the venue, registrar get my dress bridesmaids dresses etc... My Rings and planning my wedding When I get my account I can start getting everything we need and plan my wedding and hopefully have everything ready before we tie the knot I Finish Uni Next year and am planning on getting a job to get money and help out, my fiance is looking for a job to, hard to find a job in this economic climate. I agree HailsZ i will just do the small things for now and start the major planning and work in 2014. We are both mature he came into my life and changed everything he showed me how to love what family should be like, my family had lots of problems as i was growing up and continues now, its hard growing up with seeing you parents constantly argue and see the hate in the body language there eyes they way they talk, im not rushing into anything i want to live my life with my fiance i want to start a life with him and be totally different to the one i grew up in, its amazing the two totally different families environment we grew up in. Im ready for married life and starting my own family Its all I Want All I Dream About I Wanna Be ♥Mrs.Deaton♥ And Have ♥Lil Deatons ♥ With My One n Only Love Of My Life My Everything♥ My World kind Regards

    know the feeling Lana about families, and having a 3yr old its not what i want for him. My mum was an alcoholic, it destroyed me! my sister had always been my rock & she is 10yrs older than me, then i met my H2B & like you said everything changed, yes i got pregnant quite quickly but had a few other issues & after being told at 13/14 that i may find it hard to concieve was a huge shock but hey ho we got there & as strong as ever.
    Its amazing how things just work out for yourself after a hard upbringing.....especiallly when finding 'the one'

    see what you mean about the account, i had mine at 18 from what my nan had done to me... which went towards a deposit for the house, baby things, money went in an account for the baby & some went into a high interest savings account which we have used for the wedding. So can understand why your waiting till 21 :)

    The age things always causes debates.... i meet my h2b at 17 and 8.5 years later we are still together and getting married on our 9th anniversary.... age is just a number. The only thing i will say as from similar stories.... you dont need to rush into marriage. We really enjoyed being young and growing up together and knew we would get married eventually so did it matter when? We spent our money on buying a house together, setting up home, cars, etc and now ready to get married as have the spare money and time to plan a wedding. Just remember he is the love of your life anyway whether your engaged or married xxx

    Oh dear 8months is that it lol.... I do agree with Milz about waiting but then I had no choice at 17 to grow up for my age. We saved money for a house, baby bits, cars etc. we now own a large 2bed house, we both work and can afford the wedding ourselves and have a big family car. But I had to do it. And luckily I have put my other half through shit with depression etc yet we have managed and coped well and strong as ever.

    You do what you feel right when it comes to the wedding, if you can financially afford the wedding yourself without going into loads of debt then go for it :) I'm glad that you have the one and that you feel that way :)
