Basically me then! I got engaged at 20 and will have just turned 22 when I tie the knot this year!
Wedding Wire - where brides of all ages can connect! lol
No matter the age you are going to get flack though, if you are our age - we are "too young" and don't know what else is out there. If we are in our 30's then it's "okay" but are expected to have a $40,000 wedding because we should be established enough to invite the whole village. In our 40's we are "too old" and should just elope! There. Is. No. Winning.

Omg! Yes I think of it that way too but then people are like you will change so much before 25 way dont you wait. I am marrying the love of my life because I want to grow with him even after 25 we still change so what difference does it make if you are willing to put in the work.
That's the exact giddy face I make when I get to correct myself!!
At this point I just choose to look at the situation of being young and getting married as a "I found my forever love first!" and it's nobody's fault that I found him before they found theirs!!
I thought the little thing wouldn't stress me out, boy was I wrong! Also everyone else's opinions!

Thank you, it is definitely true it is just a number if you love a person. Surprisingly so people our age are the ones that judge me the most. It is wild just how much people judge when they are not willing to look into the details

I will be turning 23 less than a month before our wedding and my FH will be turning 23 less than a month after our wedding so we are all same age!! And I look like I'm 15... you are not alone and I know of plenty of people getting married around this age, age is just a number, it's not what counts.

And no one can really win in the age department anyways. There is always someone that is going to think you're too young or waited too long. By the time we get married I'll be just shy of 31.

Why would someone say that?!? Way back when 17 was the average age to get married so why is early 20s so shocking to some? But yes you'll ALWAYS have full support here!

That is why I love this website it has made me feel more like the bride rather then some in which have told me that I am just a child playing dress up.

That's not that young! People are so judgy for no reason these days. That's age of engagement/marriage is just about the same as ours and a lot of ladies on here too! Luckily this is a judgment free zone here on wedding wire!!

20 will be almost 23 when we get married
This is 100% me right now 😂 I can’t wait until the planning is over. I find it hard to make decisions when the options are literally endless, and it gets me stressed out wondering if I made a good decision on certain things. C’est la vie!
