Babies!

What are yours and your FI/DH's plans about having kids?

FI and I are only 22 and 23 respectively (we'll both be 23 by the time the wedding gets here) and don't want kids until sometime between age 28 (FI's wish) and 30 (my wish).  So we'll probably start trying somewhere around our 5th wedding anniversary.  We are excited about spending 5 years basking in our "coupleness" and getting established before shifting our focus to little ones.

    We're just like you! FI is 23 and I'm 22, and we want to wait five years depending on our financial situation. I'm slightly baby-crazy, and it was kinda hard to be convinced to wait that long, but I'm totally fine with it now because it gives us time to be a married couple and establish our careers and lives together.

    We are 27 and 26 but still want to wait at least a year.  We had a purity vow for the majority of our relationship and want to enjoy the benefits of being married before having to share each other.
