In my group, it's bizarre to be 21 and married. The woman's from the 1840's or something. No worries.

100% AGREE with this. I was married 1st time too young and second one is everything CraftsByRobin says Plus more. I have my soul mate...............

[quote=ilovequilts]Okay, okay, I am old enough to be married, but what's the rush?! I'm 21 and today I ran into someone I've known for quite a while (a friends mom) and she proceeded to tell me of all my friends that are married, are getting married and says to me "Well Hailee, when's it YOUR turn?"
=======================
Just SMILE and tell them you are waiting till you get dumb enough to lose your independence.
Well, maybe not, but SMILE and think that at the same time.

You could ask her why she feels like it's her business.
Well, maybe not, but why do people say things like that?

Personally, I wish I'd waited till I met my late DH, with whom I had a loving relationship for 39 1/2 years. He's been gone almost 4 years, and still the only men I've even had coffee with have been my brothers, son and SIL.

I got married far too young, don't regret my good kids but the first man could have waited...and waited...and waited

No rush!!!!!

Nope, it's not bad that you're not married at 21. I was married at 18.... have 2 wonderful kids from that marriage... but the husband.. well not so much... then at 37 I got remarried and have 2 wonderful kids from this wonderful man.

My older kids are 27 and 30 and neither one of them are married yet. They're not in any rush either. My 30 year old is engaged, but again, she's not in any rush!

So just enjoy yourself, and when you're ready to get married you'll know.. :)

And for some folks, the right time to get married is on the twelfth of never.

I got married at 19 to an older woman (32) and it was both of our first marriages. 26 years later we are still together and going strong. Now it was not always the smoothest road but I would not change a thing. I could not imagine my life without her.

Sometimes it will hit you over the head like a rock and you know that is the right person. But age is not a factor on marriage anymore and I wouldnt worry about it. You will know when the right one comes and then its over with. :lol:

I married my DH when I was 18 and while I love him dearly, if I had a do-over, I would not get married until I was at least 24. So don't you feel bad for one second. Enjoy this time in your life. When Mr. Right comes along, you'll know it.
