I hear that a lot of brides and grooms marry later these days in their 30s because of many social factors. Back in my mom’s day (some close to 30 years ago) people got married in their early 20s. For my wedding: Groom is 29 Bride is 25 Groom was 28 at the time of our engagement. So according to...

I hear that a lot of brides and grooms marry later these days in their 30s because of many social factors. Back in my mom’s day (some close to 30 years ago) people got married in their early 20s.

For my wedding:

Groom is 29

Bride is 25

Groom was 28 at the time of our engagement. So according to today’s stats we’re getting married young Smiley laugh


What are your ages at engagement and at the time of your wedding?

    Oh yeah I totally agree! I met my fiancé in college so happy we started hanging out or else I'd probably still be single lol. It sounds nuts out there! I know so many people who got married later or are still single and have trouble finding descent men/women.

    I was 29 when he proposed and will be 30 when we marry.

    Same to everything you said! I haven't dated as an adult, since we met in highschool, but I hear it's bannanas out there lol!! I'm sure you feel similarly. We're some of the lucky few to find our person so young. God bless those who had to deal with modern day dating!

    We got engaged when we were 22 and will be married when we are 23. We're the same age (33 days apart). Dating is so different though from then and now. At least that is what a lot of people have told me.

    I’m 27 right now, with an early birthday so I got engaged and will be married at 27. My FH wears 24 when we got engaged and will be 25 when we get married - he’s got a summer birthday.
    Yup. I’m older

    Apparently I’m the youngest so far! I was two weeks away from being 20 when we got engaged, my fiancé is 24. When we get married he’ll be 26 and I will be a week away from 22. I’m getting married young but I’ve lived with my fiancé for a year already and it’s been financially such a hard year for me. If we made it this far, we can make it through anything.
