young brides

[AudreyScott]

I'm going to be 19 when I get married, I was just wondering if there were any other young brides out there.

[Am3na]

Welcome AudreyScott,

I believe the most popular age for brides is 19-24 and 34-40. I read that somewere, however do not know if it is correct.

[AudreyScott]

Yeah, thats seems like the average age. Most of my friends are still in highschool and it gets frustrating because I guess I just want to be able to talk to someone who is going to be going through the same stuff (wedding that is :-)) and that is around my age.

[angeltee4u]

I was 15 when I first got married and I was divorced at 20. This is my second time getting married and I am 27 now.

[AudreyScott]

Being so young, did you have to have your parents sign anything?

[angeltee4u]

Being so young, did you have to have your parents sign anything?




No I didn't have to have my mom sign anything for my consent to get married at a young age. All I had to have was 2 witnesses and that was it.

[AudreyScott]

well that's interesting....so what are your colors for your wedding?

[angeltee4u]

well that's interesting....so what are your colors for your wedding?

PURPLE & BLACK

What colors are you having ?

Teresa

[AudreyScott]

We decided on Purple, Lavender and White. If anyone hasn't decided what colors to do...my fiance had a good idea of how to choose colors....go to the paint department at a hardware store...and get those sample things, then cut them out and you can mix and match, it helps alot with seeing what colors would look good with what.

I guess I'm average, I'll be 23 when we get married. He will just turn 24 three days before the wedding.

[Feather]

I am going to be 21 when I get married. Here lately everyone around me is getting engaged after me and married before me. I am getting really excited and can't wait!

I'm 16 and engaged to an 18. We plan on getting married after we're both out of HS. some people we've told belive that were to young to know what love is but :P at them because we do, and we can't even tell his family. But our friends and ourselves belive it.

[Meg&Tor1014]

Don't worry girl you are too young. I got engadged sortly after I turned 18 and I will be 20 when I finally say I do. There is never a set age and you are not the only young one. I have asked myself the same question before.

[WhiskeyGirl]

Both me and my fiance will be 22. I don't think it matters how old a person is, I think my mom and dad will always think of me as their little girl, so they will always think that I am too young! (It's funny because my mom got married when she was 19.)
And Kitsune, you shouldn't have to hide your engagement from anyone, if you know that it is true love, don't hide it! Love is to be shared and shown, and enjoyed by everyone around you. Life is too short to hide the most important moments of your life! Share them with the people you love, because unless they see something that you don't, they should be happy for you and share in your joy! :)

I was 18 when I got married and I think I was way to young. I got married right out of high school. I was married for 2 years and it didn't work out so now we are divorced I am 21 years old and planning on getting married again. But this time I know I am old enough for marriage. I have 2 wonderful children who love they're daddy very much. So as far as being 19 and getting married I'd wait a few years. But if you are very much in love then go for it. It will work if you put all your heart into it. :D

[bride 05]

I'll be twenty two when I get married. And most of my friends are either engaged or getting married soon. So I think I'm about average. Of course, I fit in one of the average age brackets mentioned and my fiance will fit in the other; he'll be thirty four. So our wedding will be super average. :D

[LaceyinPgh]

I had several friends who married right out of high school or early in college. They are divorced and working on seconda marriages now. But, I will offer this advice that I am sure you have heard a million times. Take the time you and your fiance need to go out and experience the world, travel, take some oppurtunities like college and careers...you don't have to be married to do that. I met my fiance when I was 20. I knew by our second date that he was going to be the man I married. But we waited for me to finish school, our careers to establish, and took some oppurtunities that we might not have had if we had been old married people. I'll be 27 when we get married next year. I'm glad we waited. If it is meant to be then you will still be a couple 3 or 4 years down the road with a lot more life expereince that will make a marriage sounder and stronger.

[Odri]

I'm 23 and I'm getting married this june) My FI will turn 29 three days after ceremony. My friends are telling that it's so early and actually a bit surprised about our decision. And I think it's a good age to begin.

[mrs.Rodriguez_to_b]

I don't think that it matters how young you are as long as you both love each other! If you look at it this way most of our parents were married young so they shouldn't have a problem with it!

[enchantingdragon]

Hello. I guess I'm new to this board. I recently got enagged on March 30. I am 23 and my finace and I plan to be married next August so I will be 24 and he will be 25. I guess we're old heehee :P

[angellove]

[bluebride]

I got married on July 15th 2005 and I was 18 years old. I feel awful for saying this, but I think we rushed into marraige, and only two months later, I'm miserable. We were together for three and a half years, engaged for one, and we lived together for six months or so. He's a great guy, but now that we're married, it sucks. He doesn't romance me, he tells his friends that I yell at him all the time. He calls me "the wife". but he doesn't get that I'm miserable. I tried talking to him tonight, but to no avail. He just played with the dog and said "I'm listening" Well if he was listening, he would talk back. Communication works two ways, right?

[SueMartin]

BlueBride.. I got married at 19, and like you realised it was a mistake.. but I had 3 kids & 16 years of marriage before I made the break.. try & communicate, work it out, but if you cant.. then cut your losses and run.. you have a right to be happy.. it may be that its all too overwhelming for your husband.. but if he isnt willing to work at the relationship maybe he is as miserable as you are.. feel free to PM me if you want to talk.

[CarlosHoney]

I'll be 22/23, FH will be 24/25. The date hasn't been set yet, but I'm considering having it on our 4 year anivarsary. My best advice to young brides is to make sure you're together for a few years first. The two year hump is a tough one, and that's usually the make or beark point for most relationships.

Good luck to brides of all ages!

[mariposa]

I will be 18 when I get married next October. My fiancee and I were kind of nervous about doing it so soon, but we love each other so much, and being together would help us through a lot of emotional things we're going through right now. Besides, why should I wait to be with the one I love? :D

[linzy_rose]

I will be 21 and my FH will be 27 when we get married.

[Maryhelen]

I was 21 when I got married through the justice of peace in July, but will be 22 for the real wedding in May, when my hubby gets back from Iraq.

I thought I was too young, until he asked me to marry him. When it's time, it's time at whatever age I guess.

Oh and I totally understand about wanting to talk to others that are also going through the "wedding to-do list"

[SpringBride]

We'll be 24.

I was with my first hucband since the summer after my freshman year in hgi school. He had just graduated and I had 3 more years to go. I graduted in '94 . It was about 6 more months before I had my own place and he was there all the time but didnt live with me. In '96 we moved to another state together. This was the first time we actually lived together.
We were here for about 2 yrs before we were marreid. We got marreid in '98 I was 22 ( 23 a couple of months later) he had just turned 25. We had 2 kids and after about 4 1/2 yrs we were seperated and 2 months beofre it would have 5 yrs we were divorced.

There were reasons for this divorce that could have been worked on but i wont get into that. I will be 30 soon and am gettign remarried to a very lovign man who is 3 yrs younger then me. We will be marreid next june and I coundt be more certain that this is forever.

I was with my first husband for a total of 12 yrs. I dont believe i was too yougn when i got marreid.

I just want to say. Listen to your heart. Be true to yourself. If you are being yourself ( not acting as some thign eles to keep the one you want) and he is the same and you 2 can work through the bumps that will come along then it will work out. Some times love just is not enough. You can love some one and not be able to live with them.. Sounds foolish i know. I will always love my ex-husband. He is a good man. We are now at the point that we can sit and talk and visit with the kids together. They need to see that we can be together for them.

My FH understands all this and this makes it that much more easier to talkto him abotu every thing. Even about my EX.

So I dont think the age makes a difference. Part of my problem in the marriage was that i didnt have the chance to do me things. I thought i wanted the family life and that was enough. But i didnt have the chance to grow up withjsutme. Live alone, do things for me. I got my idapentance and he didnt knwo how to handle it.

So jsut be sure that this is what you want and that you have done all the things you have always wanted to do first.

I cant wait to marry Nicholas next June and get started in the right direction. I want another baby too :D .

Godd luck to all of you ( US )

hello everyone! my fh and i are getting wed in feb (just over 3 months to go!) i'm 22 and he's 24. we've been together for almost 5 years, engaged for just under 1 and living together for bout 2 years... i agree with everyone, when you know that its right, it doesn't matter how old you are.

just remember that communication is key! we're all just starting to grow into the people we will become...

relationships are hard as it is and it doesn't help to have others not believing in your relationship (luckily evryone is very supportive for me and jac) but stick to your guns and if you believe in yourselves, other will believe in you too...

whether you get married when you are 18 or 80, you know whether its right for you... believe in yourself and trust your gut! you already know the answer to all the hard decisions, the trick is to have the courage to step forward :)
