Young brides... under 25!

We met when I was just shy of 19 and he had just turned 28 (actually on his 28th bday)

We got engaged at 21 and 30

We'll be getting married when I'm almost 23, and he will have been 32 for 4 days.

Advice: Don't forget there is a marriage after the wedding. The wedding is one day. The marriage is for the rest of your life. If you don't think you can wake up next to that person for the next 80 years, don't do it.

How old were you when you met? 16

How old were you when you got engaged? 23

How old will you be when you get married? Me: 24 Mike:23

What advice do you have for other young brides? I agree with @Robin. Mike and I went out three times during high school, but it just wasn't the right time for us to be together until last September. By then we had both been through different relationships, and we knew what we did and didn't want by the time we got back together. We have had some disagreements but thankfully sat and talked through them all. We've been together nearly a year this time around, engaged, and he's been holding a steady job nearly six months (was struggling with finding employment before, and my dad had told him he couldn't ask for my hand unless he had been working that long, to prove he was responsible). It really helps for me to realize and know that Mike will always be by my side as my lover and best friend

Met FH when i was 11, he was 10. Started dating at 16

Engaged at 17

Will be married at 22, 21

Words of advice - though most people would say NO... id say move in together first. You will get to know the REAL person (and how your lifestyles will be!) once you move in together. You will also learn how to balance money, become stable, and decide if marriage is the right thing for you. If you think otherwise... leave once the lease is done with! FH and i have been living together for almost 4 years and it's been just fine

Met FH when I was 13 through a friend! I was 15 when we started dating and he was 18!

Engaged at 18 FH was 21!

Married 10 days shy of my 21st b-day, FH is 24.

Words of advice to young couples: Don't get too cought up in each other to the point where you loose sight of you friends. Girls having girl time and guys having their guy time is very inportant to keep you relationship strong and happy. Trust one another, don't take each other for granted. Don't sweat the small stuff, walk away from the argument, communication is key, I could keep going on and on

What if I *am* 25? Can I still participate in this thread?

We were both 15 when we met. I was 21 when we got engaged, and he had just turned 22. We will both be 23 on the big day. My advice? Be together long enough, before you get married, to get past the "infatuation" stage. Know how to argue properly, and how to make up and forgive properly. Also, make sure you know him (or her) WELL (all his annoying habits, interests, if he's messy, what foods he eats, etc).

How old were you when you met? We were both 16

How old were you when you got engaged? I was 20, and he was 19 when we got engaged.

How old will you be when you get married? We'll both be 21 when we get married

What's your best advice to other younger brides? Make sure you know each other, and that you have at least similar views of the future. Also don't get mad at people that think you should wait (unless they are just being rude, and don't have a real reason). Sometimes they are just worried about you, and only want the best for you.. that doesn't mean you have to listen to them though. If you are sure that you want to get married (for the right reasons, not just to be married) then don't let them stop you.

How old were you when you met?

I was 15, he was 16. We went to high school together, but I never gave him (or anybody else besides my friends) the time of day.

How old were you when you got engaged?

I was 24, he was 25.

How old will you be when you get married?

I'm 25, and he's 26 (we're getting married in about a month)

What's your best advice to other younger brides?

-Be together to make it through a big argument

-Move in together to see if you can stand living with each other

-If you feel you're happy, ignore everybody else who says your screwing up your life.

How old were you when you met? we officially met when i was 18 and he was 19. but we kind of knew of each other before that because we went to the same school for years.

How old will you be when you get married? I'll be 21, 5 days short of my 22nd birthday, and he'll be 23.

What's your best advice to other younger brides? don't be afraid of people that say that younger people are more likely to get divorced. I know plenty of couples that married young and are still together, including my parents and FH's parents. my mom and dad were married at 18/23 and FH parents were married at 18/19.

What's your best advice to other younger brides? even if you are mad, talk about it when you calm down...talking is key...working together is key...dont put everything on one person because you feel its best..help each other out! and have fun together! being married with kids doesnt mean you have to have a mundane life! have fun and enjoy your time together!

What's your best advice to other younger brides? Agreeing with what many others have said, make sure you two know what each others goals are, and what kind of life you want to have. Its always good to know you'r own the same page.

Andrew and I met when we were in HS. Long story short - it was a sewing class that neither of us wanted to be in, but are so thankful for now because we have each other. I was 16, he was 18.

I was 18 when we got engaged and he was 19. I know it seems like we were young. It's because we were. But there was a game plan - get me through college and then we'll figure out the wedding.

I will be 22 when we get married. He will be 24. We will have been together for almost 6 years and engaged for over 4.

My advice is for all those college sweethearts out there like myself. Give yourself a chance to explore (DO NOT CHEAT) your interests in life and get to know yourself out of high school. You will change as a couple, but you need to continue to work on the things that made you click when you first met. Your commonalities and your new interests will keep help you communicating.

How old were you when you met? We were both 16 when we met. He was studying abroad at my high school and I've always had a thing for foreigners Thanks to some friends of mine who organized a group outing, we got to know each other.

How old were you when you got engaged? I was 23 and he was 22. Well we got engaged just over a week ago (!!) so we are both still 23 and 22 respectively.

How old will you be when you get married? I will be 24 and he will be 23 almost 24. We are planning to get married about 1-2 months before his birthday.

What's your best advice to other younger brides? I just say do what makes you happy and be confident in your decision. If you let the older couples get to you now, how are you going to get through the issues arise in your marriage for the rest of your life.

How old were you when you met? I was 19 and he was 22....we started dating when I was 21 and he was 23

How old were you when you got engaged? got engaged 3 months later! So I was still 21 and him 23

How old will you be when you get married? we waited 2 yrs. to get married and I am now 23 and he will be 26 next month.

What's your best advice to other younger brides? Take things slow even though you are "young" enjoy the small things in life and the time you spend together. Take fun spontaneous vacations weather its to the beach or camping! Live your life and have fun but understand you are adults with responsibilities and this only becomes more stressful or the responsibilities only grow once you ARE married.

We met when I was 19 he was 23. When we got engaged I was 24 and he was 27. When we get married I will be 24( I will turn 25 3 moths after) and he will be 28. My advise....take it slow, a lot of things change in a couple years. I think moving in together was a great thing for us. You really don't fully know who someone is until you live with them IMHO. And also wait until it's right. At first we had so many people telling us we were too young and were moving to fast. They fueled our love fire. Then when they quit the excitement faded. We had to find a way to rekindle that. Luckily we got it back and haven't lost it again yet
