     It's against the rules of the boards...so they removed the link.

    While we're here, please reconsider your choice to get married so young.  Lurk around here for the copious amounts of reasons as to why it's a bad idea.

    I agree with annmarie714, I'm 25 and almost engaged ( he has the ring, but has to talk to dad first :) ) . There is NO WAY that a teenager is mentally, and emotionally prepared for marriage. At 25, I'm at the point in which I know I am ready, but even at 22 as a new college grad, I was NOT prepared for marriage. Many young marriages dont' make it because they are not mature enough yet for such a commitment. Go get an education, get a good job, and live out on your own (totally by yourself), and then you'll be ready for such a  huge commitment.

    I seriously don't agree with this. I mean there are like limits if this girl is like 13 or something then I totally understand you should live your life but.... It's not true to say that someone young can't be emotionally mature. My fiancé and I have been together for 5 yrs (on June 12th) he proposed to me last Friday and I'm only 20 which means I was like 15 when we started dating. We have the most amazing relationship and we plan on being together forever. Everyone is different. If she chooses to be engaged and in love at a young age.. Don't try to stop her
    Stay cool

    1) Stay cool  ....did you sign her yearbook or something?

    2) I'm 23, engaged at 21 (obviously we had a long engagement & have grown & matured in this time), but FULLY agree with not getting engaged as a teenager.  Why?  I'm A LOT more mature at 21/23 than I was at 18 and 19.  Not to mention, if I married the person I was with at 18, I'd be divorced already.  Grow..live a little.

    I have mixed feelings on this.

    Going back a few years...
    I started dating someone I met immediately after turning 19. We did the whole cliche "I knew s/he was the one" thing, got engaged (Round 1), then found out that we were expecting our child. We would have still been 19 when we planned to marry, but the whole, "Hey, we're expecting!" threw a wrench in the mix.

    Life got in our way. We were living near our families, dealing with the stress of a newborn, he was working out of town, and things fell apart. (We would have been living together if we had been married - he was worried that working out of town 3/4 of the month would leave me isolated if I was living in his hometown and away from my family, so I remained with mine.) But - we had a child. We kept in touch, and tried to keep things good, and friendly, if for no other reason than for our child and the fact that we'd both been children with divorced parents. (Seriously - SO much easier when the parents get along.)

    We'll be getting married next year. We'll be 26 by that point. Are we better to have waited? In some ways, maybe. We've both grown. We're more sure of what we want. I think that we would have lasted if we'd married back then - it was the physical distance that made things fall apart - but I know for certain that we're stronger people now and everything that we've endured has only made us more certain of who we are and what we can handle.

    I hope that this helps.

    Oh, and a year before I'd met my Future Husband, I was dating someone I was convinced at the time I'd marry. That feeling lasted until our breakup. At this point, sure, I wonder what happened to him, but there is not a single doubt in my mind - and there hasn't been one for six years - that Future Husband is the person I'll still love when I'm eighty.

    I agree, everyone is different. There's nothing wrong with being engaged young if you have an amazing relationship. Plus you can always have a long engagement. How can being committed to somebody you really love be a bad thig?
