Gay Weddings

Weeding Age

Hey everyone,

I guess I am starting to get cold feet here. So here is the deal. My fiance and I met online a year ago and have been on a international long distance relationship ever since. We really have a great relationship and its been amazing. We have shared four weeks together so far. Three back home and one in mexico. Since immigration laws in america don't recognize gay marriage or couples we are planing on moving to Canada together. In the process we found out that we needed to get married to make it easier. We had previously discussed the idea and I almost proposed while we were in Mexico a couple of weeks ago. My friends have ben very supportive and well most of them support me... Here is my question I am 24 and he is 21. Is this to young? I think I am ready and I am for sure in love and I know he is and we are ready to share a life together. We both dated in the past others and had our regular share of fun... I just want to see if there are other young couples out here...Cool

    I say go for it if you are ready to settle down then go for it. One thing of advice is to make sure he is the one for you and if you are sure of that then go for.

    Hi! Good to see this post. Only you can be the best judge aout your relationship, and when you're ready to be married, but I wanted to assure you that there is at least one other young couple on here! My fiance and I are both 23, have been together two years, and we're going to get married when we are 24 and 25, respectively:)

    It's really up to you.
    DW and I married when I was 19, that was two years ago. She is now 24. If it works it works, and if you are ready go for it. No one else can REALLY tell you wne you are ready, only you can make that decision.

    my fiance will be 23 and i will be 20 so i think it is ok and we have a long distance relationship too.

    I don't think the age is necessarily a problem but the distance could be.  Because you're nervous I would suggest, if it's possible, to try living in the same area and dating for a while.  Then you can learn what it's like to spend more time together in your daily life not just when you're on vacation.  Getting married and moving to a new country away from your homes and families is a huge deal and it can be very stressful! Think about how you and your relationship will be under this kind of stress when you are in a new country where you don't know anyone but each other.  If you think you'll be good and it's all worth it, then go for it.

    SImilar to what others have said; only you will know if its the right time for you - try not to get caught up in trying to figure out what is a "normal" or "usual" age. My fiance is 22 and I'm 27. He proposed (when he was 21), so that certainly shows that it is possible, even in your early twenties to be sure it's time.

    I'd agree with what everyone else has said, only you can know for sure.

    My fiancee and I are 23 and 26 and will be 24 and 26 when we get married.
