four weddings

I would just like to say, wtf with the 19 year olds!? Not even being able to drink at your wedding? I feel like I'm expecting to see them on teen mom soon!

Lol I didn't get to see the whole episode but weren't they the ones who did that "fish unity" thing? I thought that was pretty weird.

The 19 year old and her husband do have a two year old son, so they could have been on Teen Mom.

I saw another episode of Four Weddings that featured two under-21s getting married. They toasted with milk. I'm not really sure how I feel about that.

Technically, if they got married here, they'd be able to drink, but it's still sooooo young.

(legal age is 19 here, and 18 just across the river in Quebec). If you're not at an age where you can legally take a drink of wine, how can you legally be married; that's odd to me.

I didn't see the show, but maybe they've grown up a lot with having a child. They could very well be mature enough to appreciate the commitment but I'd say in general that most teens would not be ready for that responsibility. I know that I sure as hec wasn't!

The teenaged couple on the show didn't seem terribly immature or anything, they acted like most young adults...they were just really really young adults.

They also included their son in the ceremony (they did a "unity fish" ceremony instead of a unity candle---pour three fish into a common bowl), which I thought was really sweet, even if he won't remember it. I'm not a huge fan of a unity fish, but to each their own, I guess.

Having a child does mature you like crazy - well it does for most people anyway. I was 25 when I had my son, but I was a wreck before him. I was a party girl and was soooo not mature. Then suddenly BOOM, I was in full mommy mode; I even started a mommy meet up group! haha

It's cute that they included the child and like you said, to each their own. I'm not a fan of doing the sand thing either, but I can appreciate the thought.

If I married any of the boys, BOYS I'll call them, that I dated at 18 or 19. I was SO not mature then. Like mamameech, I was in full party mode. For me, a phd program matured me. Thats the fatest way to turn anyone boring

I often wonder this about the military. You can go to war at 18, but you can't drink until you're 21. I don't get it.

I don't know. I guess it depends on the person. My boss was married within a few days of turning 21 and they been married for about 5 and a half years. They are one of the sweetest couples and you can tell they really mesh well. I mean, I can't say anything for behind closed doors, but from what I can see they are very good together.

My problem with it is that America is glorifying marriage at very young ages so that girls think "Hey, I'm with a boy that I really like and I'm out of high school. Let's play house!" And then get married. My cousin's ex-wife did that. So after a couple years of marriage and a son, she got tired of it and started seeing another man, drinking, and doing drugs.

I imagine a kid would "sober" you up to the ways of the world pretty quickly though. I just hate how girls are always dating a guy and they think they're going to marry him everytime. One girl I knew.... she did that with every boyfriend. "I'm gonna marry him." And soon. I was never that girl. lol I thought I was going to marry two guys. The first time I was being a moron. And the second time it's working out.

I agree with Morena. I remember so many couples who got married right after high school, and now seeing them around or on FB, most are now divorced. I can agree that there are some people who meet their match at a young age, and are with that person forever. They have the strength to work through the tough times instead of running from them. But I think most just like the idea of playing house. Or what I noticed in high school, a lot of these couples were religious. They got married because they wanted to have sex (I'm saying this because I knew some couples who used this as their excuse) and once the honeymoon sex was over, and life hit reality- things got tough. You then go to college or get jobs and the real world, and you change.

I'll admit, the guy I dated when I was 19-20 tried to give me (his ex gf's ring!) and wanted to move in together. I was thrilled with the idea, until I caught him cheating on me with a fat girl

</div><div>My ex that I was sooooo in love with *gag* just stopped talking to me. Then our mutual friend had to tell me that he was breaking up with me. And *drum roll* leave it to Facebook (!!!!) to ruin more stuff. I found out that he was seeing his ex again. He always talked about how he hated her. She would put cigartette butts out on his arms and tried to run him over with a car. Then he got her pregnant. And they got married. And have two kids. God, I love karma because I know how miserable he is with her. =P Plus, I don't want kids so there. hahaha!
