GJones27

We're both 26.  We will have been together for exactly five years and 1 day when we get married later this month.  I feel that we have been dating a long time as a Christian couple, but that had to do with long distance (more than half of our relationship).

I knew this would come up sooner or later. Please don't judge me, make comments on it, etc. I've had it up to here with people in real life commenting, ranting, whatever. I come to TK because I don't have to tell people my age here. I figure you guys are safe, though, so I'll tell you.

I'm a baby. I'm 18. I'm finishing my junior year of university this week, and I haven't lived in my parents house since I was 14, almost 15. I'm just a little different
FI is 22.
We've been together for three and a half years.

1) I know every 18 year old on TK says this, but I get that a lot. My roommate just had a "Oh, right. You aren't 21" moment yesterday.

2) Definitely both. I've been ahead in school since I started in the 2nd grade, and I finished high school early because I hated it. I love academics, but hated the high school "I don't want to be here, this sucks!" attitude of everyone around me.

3) Thanks :)

I was 22 and DH was 32. We got married exactly two years to the day after we met.

azdancer8

DH is 25 and I will be 29 on Friday. Tomorrow will mark a year and eight months that we've been a couple, but we've known each other for a few years longer than that. (Ten months dating, six and a half months engaged, three and a half months married.)

yarmik89

i'm 22 and FI is 21, we're getting married in a month and 10 days! and we've been dating for just over two and a half years

alyssajael

I'm 20 and my soon to be husband is 26 we've been dating since I was 16 and he was 23. We have been engaged for almost a year and a half and We are getting married this Saturday!

kellya01

We're both 27.  We had our first date in January 2008.  July 2011, 3.5 years later, we're tying the knot! :-) 

twixinthemix

When we met I was 25 and FI was 24, back in November 2009, he proposed when I was 26 and FI was 25 in August 2010, and we will both be 26 when we get married this coming June!  The last full day of our honeymoon will be my 27th birthday :-)

mmhepb

I'm approaching 36 and BF if 38.  If we are married early this fall as previously discussed (although not yet official) then that will be our ages when we marry.  Otherwise, who knows....

Habs2Hart

We are both 26.  I am turning 27 the day after the wedding and he follows a few months later.  We've been dating for a bit over a year.

loves2shop4shoes

I'm 23 and FI is 25.  We've been dating a little over 3.5 years.  When we get married, I'll be 24 and he'll be just shy of 27...by then we'll have been together just under 5 years.

We are both quite young. I'm 21 and he's 20, we will both be 21 by the wedding.

I'm not going to judge <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> ..and anyway I don't think you seem like a normal 18 year old (in a good way). No need to be ashamed.

I'm not necessarily ashamed. There's just a lot of negativity on TK towards teenagers and I'm getting enough of that negativity from people in my life (who don't really know me) that I really didn't want to get here also. Does that make sense?

Posted by mrandmrsbrist[/QUOTE]

I think the reason the teenager card is played a lot on TK is because there are quite a few younger brides out there who come to the boards and show great immaturity when they post. I don't believe that is the case with you - you seem to be quite mature, and fit well even with the "older" brides on this board.

ETA: All that being said, there are also a number of "older" brides who act like they're 12. So really, it's all about how you present yourself that gets respect around the boards.

We'll both be 20 and it'll have been about 1 year, 8 months since the start of his courtship. Extended version in bio. :P
