Been there, done that. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

I don't think 24 is too young, especially since you've already been engaged for two years. That's a lot better preparation than many people get.

I'm not engaged. I have a feeling that 24 is going to be too young for me, but if you found the right person go for it.

Ps. your comment count is 123 right now, that's pretty cool.

If you're questioning this...maybe. I don't think there is "too young," if you have the same values then good luck to you. And now I'll go back to the Opra Winfrey chat room! smile

You have made every possible wrong choice and you will suffer for it from now until eternity. Sucks for you. Being engaged is dead.

I've been engaged twice...not ever married though. I did it all for the wrong reasons. Anyway, I'm with the right guy now...and we're taking this slowly...so when/if...when we get engaged we will have the time behind us to know we are doing it for the right reasons and for the right things.
I think that you have a good amount of time behind you guys...that's the true test..not how old you are. If you have made it two years, chances are a marriage will last longer than if you got engaged after being together just a few months...you know?

I was engaged at sixteen 'cause I'm fucking retarded.
The better question is do YOU feel like it's too young?

It's not necessarily too young. Lots of great marriages take place for people who are that young . . . and even younger. It depends on the maturity of the parties involved. I was engaged when I was 19-21, and I was too young; a lot of growing up happened during the engagement and we grew apart.

The long engagement is a good sign, and some nerves about the issue are to be expected. I guess you just need to do some thinking and decide whether what you're feeling are nerves or red flags. Good luck!

I'm on the exact opposite side of that bell curve. It sucks, but being engaged was nice. I think 24 is fine.

if you've been together for that long, i'm sure you'll be a okay. it's not like you just met some guy who works in a bowling alley and have set the date for a month and a half from now... (my friend is insane.)

i've been w/ my guy for a little over 5 years....we have been talking about it for a long time now and i hope we get married by the time im 24...

i think a 2 year engagement is the perfect amount of time to be engaged so you can make sure your not rushing into anything and you can save up to get the wedding you want.....

congrats on your wedding! biggrin

that would be a no, and no

it's about as likely as:
a comet striking the earth near downtown Amarillo, and
sharks learning how to live above ground, and find they all really enjoy accounting, and
Bill Gates donating everything to everyone, shaving his head, and living a blissful life in tibet

all at the same time

but good luck to ya, probably not too young, unless...

I'm 26, my fiance and I've been engaged nearly 6 months... We're not planning on getting married for another 2-3 years yet, so I don't think you're rushing into anything, depending on your situation... Do you actually share a place together or live in the same town, or is yours a long distance relationship? (my fiance and I have a flat together) If it's an LDR, then I think you probably need to spend a year or so living with the person before you get married so you can really get to know them properly first smile Either way, best of luck, I hope it all goes well for you smile

Why do people get engaged and then wait for years to get married? Yes, I understand wedding preparation and whatnot, but three years?

"We're in love, we're willing to swear total allegiance to each other, but not for another three years ... "

I just don't get it.

I was 24 when I got married and I've never thought it an incredibly young age to get hitched but judging by the looks on some peoples faces when I tell them Im married you'd have thought I was pre pubescent at the time.

Its just a matter of opinion.

You said it your self here:

crispy said:I understand wedding preparation and whatnot


My fiance and I want to get married in Portmeirion, and are most likely going to have to pay for it ourselves... It takes time to save £10'000 - £20'000, especially while trying to start your own business and pay day to day expences as well blackeyed

I also don't understand paying tens of thousands of dollars (pounds) for a one day ceremony/party.

Yes, it is an important, life-changing day ... but eeek ...

Again, I just don't get it.
