I was 24 and FH 23 when we met. He proposed on my 27th birthday (he was 25 at the time) and we will be getting married when I am 28 and he is 27.
As for the OP. I am glad you didn't take offense to some of the comments about your age. It can work for many younger people, but it is true that you change a lot in and around your late teens/early 20s. I thought I would for sure marry my high school sweetheart. I probably would have said yes had he asked me. Over the last 2 years of our 4 year relationship, we realized that we just wanted different things out of life and life was taking us in different directions. It worked out well for me in the end, because I wouldn't have met the love of my life, but I am glad I got to experience such a powerful first love.
Hopefully you stay open and learn to grow with each other as opposed to apart
Hi Amanda, this is just personal experience. My fiance is 31 and I am 25. We met when I was 19 and he was 25.When I was 19,in my second year of college I was definetly not ready to get married. I have only realised that now that I am planning a wedding. I changed so much as a person and so has he. Guys seem to change a lot in their early 20's, my fiance has told me about his early 20's and he is a complete differnt person now.Anyway, my point is be prepared to change within yourself over the next few years as this is your time to discover who you are and what you want, and he will be going through the exact same thing.I am in no way saying you are too young, because I met my future husband at 19 and he actually proposed after 1 month. But we decided to wait as he also wanted the grand gesture, which only came 5 years later.
What will determine if you are "ready" for this is if you will learn to grow together or if you will grow up and grow apart. Good Luck
We met at 26 (me) and 29 (him). He proposed at 32 and 35. We will be 33 and 36 when we get married.

We met when I was 12 and he was 11, started dating when I was 15 and he was 14, got engaged when I was 23 and he was 22, and will get married when I'm 25 and he is 24. We've been together for over eight years now and we are getting married right before our ten year anniversary!
When we met, I was 22 and he was 28. We got engaged when I was (am) 26 and he was (is) 32. We will be married when I am 27 and he is 33 (Jan and Feb Bdays and March wedding!)
We met when we were both a couple months away from 22. A year and a half later, he proposed and we'll both be 24 when we're married! I graduated last May and have a great job as an auditor, and FH graduates in a month and has been searching for his perfect job and he's also in the National Guard.
I know I'm not much older but I can say from experience that a person changes A LOT around the age of 21 and if nothing else, I would wait until after that age. I know many people get married that young and it turns out wonderfully, but if I was married to the guy I was dating when I was 19-21 I would be miserable right now haha!
We met on New Years when I was 18 and he was 20. He also originally asked me to marry him a few months into our relationship, but we officially got engaged at 22 and 24 and married at 24 and 26. Now onto making babies before we reach our 30s
@Lindsey the OP is actually the youngest! & you and I are the same age, and I'll be 20 when I get married in May

Met FH at 14 and 15 (my freshman year of HS, his Sophmore) we dated, then broke up.. My JR year (16 y/o,) his Snr.( 17 y/o) we started again and have been together ever since. He proposed when I was 22, he was 23. We will be married when I am 25 and he will be 26. He said he didn't want to propose to me when I was in college because he wanted me to focus and not get distracted. He bought the ring when I was 18 though lol so he had it for 4 years
