Your friend's mother was the rude one whether she intended to be or not. No sense in being rude back. Live your life as you see fit, not by anyone else's standards. Only you will know when the time is right to marry "Mr. Right". Good luck.

I was 34 & DH 40 when we got married, 1st for both of us. My brother was 38 & his wife 40 - also 1st marriage for them.
Just tell them you want a guy who is 1 in 1000 ~ and you're up to #329! hahahahahaha

I wanted to respond rudely, but merely laughed it off...then called my mom and vented about it.
Seriously. Is it really that bad that I'm 21 and not yet married? grr...

All I want right now is a relationship... whether platonic or not, but I'm not in the market to settle down, my financial aid would suffer for that... and I'm not ready for it either.
I know a lot of people from my age group are getting married... and my sister, who is seventeen, is nearly engaged to her boyfriend... and it's not because they have a child together, they were talking about that before she ended up pregnant.
You have time!

I married my best friend at 21, we're still very happy together. That said, I get the opposite, people are always surprised at how young we got together. Just goes to show you, someone will always think they know best for you, but really, only you know what's best for you. Follow your heart and you'll be fine :)

don't get in a rush, you've got plenty of time. remember, if everyone was jumping off a bridge, you wouldn't want to do that either. (not that marriage is like jumping off a bring) just don't rush.

I've known my husband since we were teenagers, and we got married when I was 23. I'm now almost 28, and we have an almost 2 year old daughter. Before we married we both dated other people and we kept coming back to each other. We just KNEW we were right.
We've had some major rough patches, some of it is from us being young, and others perhaps cultural differences that we're overcoming. I wouldn't change anything that I've picked, but it's worked for me.
Trust me, you'll KNOW when the right man comes along. Make your decision when you are ready, not when anyone says you "should" be ready.
And no matter what, there will be rough patches it's up to the love that you and your future spouse have to see them through.
Marriage is really hard work, it's 100% of yourself every day. Be happy as you are, and trust your instincts - when you're ready and the right man comes along everything will fall into place.
