interesting enough, right?

Hummingbird125 · March 2014

Well..... we think potatoes are quite relevant, so please answer that question.

And, since it IS what you shared as your "something interesting" - why in the world do you want to get married when you're still basically a child? Aren't you in high school?

Hummingbird125 · March 2014

Oh - and why is your favorite book/author N/A? Also relevant.

Quoting because I have a feeling this will be a DD.

OP, holy shit you're 17. At 17 I was having fun and NOT planning a wedding. I can't even. Why do you want to get married at 17? Are you pregnant or just eager? Are you "saving yourself"? Is it a religious-based thing (I"m thinking it is...).

bride2b71614 · March 2014

At your age, I was looking at colleges, getting excited for prom and navigating the world to form my own identity. In no way, shape or form was I ready to get married. So, I'm just curious, is your wedding date on 07/14/14, or do you plan on getting engaged then? If you are engaged, how long have you been engaged? How do two minors get married without parental signature on a legal document? Do you or your SO plan on attending/pursuing an education after high school? Do you actually have a fully formed identity separate from your partner? Also, do you have enough money to get your own place with your future husband? I am not trying to be abrasive or rude, but I am wondering why a child who met her significant other at 14 wants to get married right now. I am wondering why you aren't opting for a long engagement, or even being engaged at all...I think that if you and your SO were meant to be, there is no reason as to why you should be getting married RIGHTTHISSECOND. I am pregnant with a son. It's nothing personal, but if my son came to me at seventeen stating he was getting married, I'd ask him the same questions I asked you above.

GoldenPenguin · March 2014

Nope. Nope nope nope.

I wish I was on the computer so I could gif the shit out of this.

@buddysmom80 ARCHIVE! ARCHIVE! ARCHIVEEE!

audrewuh · March 2014

Hi. I love Jesus too. I actually am a youth director at a church. I have several students your age who are in serious relationships.

When I was 17, I had pledged to marry my then-boyfriend. We even courted.

So now, please tell me why you are a 17 year old making 28 year old decisions.

buddysmom80 · March 2014

@brisox81 this gif?

loves2shop4shoes · March 2014

It's wonderful that you've found someone that you care so much about. But, I'm wondering, what will you do after you get married? Where will you live? Will you go to college? Have you figured out how you'll manage your finances?

These are important things to consider before any marriage, and I'm just wondering how you envision your life unfolding...

KeptInStitches · March 2014

Can you independently pay for your life? Are you done with high school? Why rush now? If it's right, won't it be right later?

beanbot2002 · March 2014

No. Just no. Jesus. No.

Potatoes are ALWAYS relevant!

mbross3 · March 2014

I have nothing constructive to add so please accept this gif of a kitten with a potato (unless it's irrelevant to?...).

FoxandBunny · March 2014

First off, welcome. I'm glad you decided to join our community here. I'm going to preface this with we are really blunt and honest and we mean everything with the best of intentions and our comments are not insults.

Next, oh gosh. I'm young and have been with my SO since I was 16 and we thought about marriage then (not very seriously though, just decided we were dating with the intention of marriage), but I can't say I support your decision. There is no reason to rush this. None. If you are meant to be together, you'll stay together while you make big life decisions, such as going through college, becoming financially stable and able to support yourselves, ect.

And let me just say, you will change so much in the next few years that you will look back and not even recognize yourself. I do it now. I look back to when I was 16 (I am currently 20) and I have no idea what I was thinking or why I made the decisions I made. And you will hate me for saying this, but it's scientifically proven, but you aren't totally mature yet (you don't finish maturing until you hit about 25) and I would really suggest postponing the decision of marriage until you are a little bit older. If you are compatible, you'll stay together even if you aren't married.

I shall step off my little soap box now, as you will probably ignore it anyway.

ETA: I'm hurt you don't think potatoes aren't relevant. They are always relevant.

bethsmiles · March 2014

Kitten Gifs are also never irrelevant

It's best if you come back to reply to your posts FYI. Also, how can you be a receptionist if you're still in high school? Or are you not in school? I'm just confused. Religious or not, my parents would have killed me if I was engaged at 16.

Also my boyfriend from then...yea, we were not meant to be.

RWS2011 · March 2014

I was reading this out loud to FI, and he wants to know, if you don't love literature, why isn't your favorite book The Bible?

BreMR · March 2014

I'm so confused by this. I've been with my boyfriend since we were sixteen, and we never thought about getting married until we were older. You have to really consider where your lives will take you. While my bf and I had hoped we'd eventually get married we also knew that we had to survive our early twenties, college, and adulthood with each other to know that we could make it...

We did, but guess what... we also broke up for quite a few months when we were 25, which probably would have been a divorce if we were already married.

Ugh...this is just unreal.

Also...I'm sure this has a lot to do with tomorrow being April Fools....so just no.

@lmhollister- That cat lol.

Blackbird230 · March 2014

Don't you need parents to sign off so you can get married before 18? Why would you want to have to do that???

Blue & White · March 2014

@Kait duh because she wants to have 15 kids before I even get married. This is why when I'm like 60 and my kids are finally graduating from high school, some of their friends' parents will be like 35.

audrewuh · March 2014

Actually, @Kait, most state laws require consenting adults to be 17 years of age. In Texas, you can get married between 14 and 16 with parental consent.

Blackbird230 · March 2014

@audrewuh, didn't know that. I think CT/MA is 18. Wow. Even then 17 is cutting it close.

This is only one of the many reasons Texas terrifies me...Though I have little room to talk, in OH guys need to be 18, but girls only have to be 16.
