Im curious to know who was the youngest couple to get engaged or married! post your age for your engagement, how long you were engaged, and how old you were when you got married!!! if any of you could go back would you have waited a little longer before you got engaged, married or had kids?

I think I may have the OLDEST one wrapped up LOL... We got married when I was 27, he was 32. :) And no, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

I was 19(turned 19 in Jan..got married in March). He was 21, turned 22 a week later. We had Ethan that Dec. I wouldnt change anything except my weight right now :)

how long were you engaged? lol!! wouldn't everyone like to change that?? or at least something!! :lmao how old is your son? how was your wedding.. like big or small inside or outside?

Okay, I turned 18 August 29....got engaged Jan 4...and got married May 23....and I wouldn't change anything.

I got engaged and married when I was 17. We were engaged for 8 months.

We got married Sept. 29 and I turned 19 Sept. 9. We didn't really have an engagement. I was pg and we decided for us the best thing was to get married. Would I change it? I wish I would have been older before having kids but if it wasn't for Breanna hubby and I wouldn't be together right now. He was getting ready to move to MD., I was just 18 and didn't want a long distance relationship, so we decided when he moved we wouldn't see each other anymore. A week before he moved we found out I was pg. I guess God wants us together.

i was 17 when i got preggo and dh proposed 18 when i had the twins 19 when we married and 20 when we had our 3rd child. i might have waited till i got married to get pregnant but oh well

I got engaged just after turning 17 and was married at 18.5
had a child at 20, 21 and 23. I probably would have waited to have kids. But I love the fact that we will still be young when they go off on their on :D

I feel the same way Breezy. I had Bri when I was 19 and I could have waited but we it's not like we didn't have any alone time. We had already been together for almost 5 yrs so 19 was young but I don't think I missed out on anything. My mom was my age when she had kids and I liked having a young mom. We are best friends and I pray that Bri and I are just as close.

Now i don't feel so crazy!!:lmao but thanks for sharing ladies!! i definitly want to wait on kids but we will see... im around my twin nephews ALLL the time and so talk about a handful!!! :yes your stories are awesome tho!!!.. i know military couples get married young!!!

I got engaged 2 months ago, and I'm almost 19. Not getting married until after college and my masters degree though, so I have about 4.5 years before the wedding. Wont be having kids for a few years after we get married. One reason why we're getting married so young is so we have tons of "us" years, building our marriage before we welcome children into it:)Plus we'll have tons and neices and nephews to practice with!lol

hey gurl!!!yeah keep me posted on that loong engagement... i'll be there soon!!! does it seem any differt than dating him? like after the shock wears off??!!:P

I got engaged may 27 2005 I was 18 and got married june 17 2005

We got engaged May 20, 2005 and will be married April 8th 2006... I'm 20 and he's 21 ... I'll be 21 in July 06

I was 17(barely lol) when we got engaged(3 months after we started dating) and i was 18 when we got married. We were engaged for just about a year. he was 20 when we got married. i always hoped i would get married just after high school like my parents did. but i ended up getting married about 3 months before i graduated, thanks to the Navy ;). But i wouldnt change a thing. i cant imagine being single. lol. we dont have any kids yet, but we are thinking of trying.

I was 21 he was 22 when he got enaged. We were engaged for about a month before we got married (had been dating 6 months before that). I was 22 and he was 23 when we had Taylor. I wouldn't change a thing!

We got engaged Dec. 31 I turned 19 Jan. 8 And we are getting married on march 11, 2006!!!! 10 more days!!!!!! yeah! i have always dreamed of getting married young! I am so thrilled!

We got engaged on February 22, 2004 and we got married on March 6, 2004!! I was 22 and he was 23!!! We were only engaged 13 days!!! (L)

I have been with him 9 months, known him 5 years.I was engaged for 5 days lol at 18 and got married at 18, he is 20 and no i wouldnt change a thing.

I was 19 and dh was 24 when we got engaged on Feb 25th 1992. I was pregnant at the time and we have been married ever since :P I would not change anything at all!!!

I was 18 he 20, we where never offically engaged, but always knew we would end up together. had our first 9 months ( i know sooo cliche) after our wedding. the only thing I would have changed was having a baby so soon after getting married because we never really go to spend any time together. 4 months after I moved to be with him he left on deployment, when he came home I had already had the baby. but in the end it didn't really hurt us any.

*shrug* i dunno... i guess i don't see the point in rushing into marriage at an early age... i mean, what's wrong with a long engagement? i got married at 20, not knowing nearly enough about life and was only engaged a few months before we got married... i regret everything about those choices and that marriage... i'm almost 25 now, have a 2.5 year old (from my marriage) and if it weren't for my amazing daughter, i'd completely regret my marriage. i recently got engaged and plan to carry out the engagement for at least a year before marriage... at this time, in my opinion... if you truly love someone, and are going to "be together 'forever,'" there's no need to rush...

i mean, i know that not everyone has had the same bad experience that i've had, and that (obviously) everyone is entitled to do what they feel is right for them, their situation, and their life... but for me, if i could do it all over again, i would have waited until i was more mature.

The first time around I was 20 when we met (feb 1st) 20 when we got engaged (Feb 19th) and 20 when I got married (march 25th) That marriage lasted 4.5 yrs. I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Even if we didn't have a child togheter. We were young and too embarrassed to go talk to someone about our problems tis why we divorced.

Second time around I had just turned 24 (jan '04) when we meet, 25 (june 2005) when we got engaged and 25 (nov.2005) when we got married. If it werent for my first marriage I wouldn't have learned what needs to worked on in a marriage and what's important and whats not.

No I wouldn't have changed anything about my life. Without all the good and bad I wouldn't be the person I amnow.

I never was engaged w/ my first marriage. Got married 3 months after I turned 21. It was a big mistake but I don't really have regrets. It's made me who I am today & I've learned a lot too.

This time, I got engaged in Sept and I was 22 and we'll either get married end of this year when I'll be 24 or else in about 2 yrs, when I'll be 25/26.

We were both 25, we were only engaged for 1 month. I would never have gotten married before age 25, in fact I wouldn't have minded waiting a little longer to get married. I don't have kids and I wouldn't change that either, I like not having kids at 27,a nd dont plan on having t hem any time soon. We dated for 3 years and I thought that was a good amount of time to be together before getting married, but again i wouldn't have minded waiting a little bit more.

We aren't some of the younger ones. But I was 20 when we got engaged, married at 21, had our first kiddo at 22. Has our 2nd at 25.

If I could have the same exact children, I would have waited longer before we had kids. We got married May 98 & found out I was pregnant with DS (our 2nd pregnancy) a week after DH left for his first deployment (Nov. 98). Our 1 year anniversary was a few days before DH returned from the Med Cruise. We never really had any time to ourselves just as a married couple with the deployment & work-ups. Plus when he returned, we were focused on the pregnancy & never really focused just on us. That is the only thing I'd change.

I was engaged at 23 and married at 25 (DH is 9 days older than me, so the same age applies for him). The timing was perfect for us, because even though we are "old" by military standards, we were too young before that. I was in grad school and we were living 1500 miles apart. It's all about timing, and you can't force timing. We were lucky and everything fell into place for us.

As far as kids, there will never be a right time for that! If it happens, it happens, but we are never going to TTC!

WOW.. so i guess the thing about military marriages being young is true!!! thanks soo much for sharing ladies!!!!;)

Not if you know what you want.... i wouldnt go off and get married right now but thats just me... i might get engaged...(db is playing mind games with me!!:duh ) but not married for awhile yet!! i think thats the only reason my parents haven't lost it yet!!!

We met when in June of 98 I was 18, started dating in Oct that same year. Married 13 months later and I wouldn't change a thing! He was my best friend before I married him and he still is! :wub

engaged February 03': me 18, him 23
married: 3 months later, me 19, him still 23
no kids, 4ish more years until we try

For sure I wasn't one of the young ones lol I was 25 and he was 27 when we got engaged, 26 and 27 when married. Dated for a whole lot of 9 months :p I think it was a perfect age for me to get married at 26.

I think I might be the youngest to get engaged.
I was 16 when we got engaged back in 01
We got married when I was 20.
We were engaged for 4 years before we got married.
And we have one baby on the way. :lovestruck
We have been together for over 5 years.
We have lived together for almost 3 years. :D

I wouldnt change anything. (or maybe to get married earlier) but I love that we got to know eachother better before we got married.

Not getting married until after college and my masters degree though, so I have about 4.5 years before the wedding. Wont be having kids for a few years after we get married.

Our plan sounded something like that! But circumstances changed for us, and it didn't work out like that at all thankfully. I just thought this was interesting cuz it totally sounded like us about 7 years ago before we married....But his parents divorced and his dad wanted him to start paying rent...And my parents were talking about moving across the country and having me transfer colleges to go with them....So he joined the Navy and took me with him.....I think a lot of my old high school friends were shocked to see how differently my life turned out when I'd been so adamant about "the plan." lol But I'm much happier this way....

Wow-I thought I was young when I got married, but I guess some were younger after reading these posts...

We got engaged 2 days after my 19th birthday (he was 19 too) on New Year's Eve (I guess technically New Year's Day) right after midnight.

We married the following June in 2000 while he was in A-school right after bootcamp in a civil ceremony-I was still 19 and he had just turned 20. We had been together 4 1/2 years at that point and had been engaged for 6 months. We had a big wedding near our hometown on our first wedding anniversary.

We just had our first baby last September when I was 24 (almost 25), and DH was 25. Our daughter is 5 months old now, DH and I are both 25 (he's almost 26), we've been married 5 1/2 years and together for a total of 10 years.

The only thing I regret is getting pregnant 3 months before we were officially going to start trying (we thought it might take longer to get pregnant since we'd been together almost 9 years at that point with no "accidents"...The month I got pregnant was the first month we didn't take precautions in all those years...go figure..lol)-the ONLY reason I regret that is because it meant DH was deployed during the birth of our first child, and I was taking care of her alone for the first two months (which were probably the hardest since you have lack of sleep to throw in there and she ended up getting sick when she was only 2 weeks old).

Ya, we married young, but it worked out well for us. There was a lot of growing up we had left (which was nothing new to us since we'd been together since we were 15) to do combined with getting our marriage in working order and were able to do it before we had kids. I think us having gotten married at the age we were helped us to mature into responsible adults and gain a strong marriage. And when our daughter came along, most of our relationship kinks had been worked out and we were in a good financial sitution to take care of her. Things couldn't have worked out better for us.....

We got engaged at 18 and married at 19:)

in my opinion, if he's "the one" and you want to be together forever, what's the rush... just be together and enjoy it... save the big stuff for when you know more

I feel if you have to ask that ?? then you are
Dh and I started dating when I was 13 and we didn't get married until I was 18.5
We got to know alot about each other in those 5 years and we both keep changing and have been married for 10 years now.
You will know when you are ready and if he is the one.

Nowadays, I think it's incredibly rare for a relationship to last if you get married so young. Society has changed a lot in the last 10 yrs and more. It's just going to keep changing and getting more stressful.

Those that can make it, I think that's wonderful!

I got engaged and married at 18. My dh is 22. We've only been married for 3 months, but "together" for almost two years. We don't have kids yet, but we plan to a long ways down the road. I knew it was right so, no i wouldn't have changed it. We were friends first, then lovers-thats what makes it work. (It was also convienent that we lived across the street from each other when we met.)

We got married when I was 19 and he was 20.

I was 22 when we got engaged in Jan 02, i was still 22 when we got married in June of 02. I wouldn't change a thing :)

We met when I was 22 I think. He was 20.

We got married when I was 26 and he was 24.

We're 29 and 27 and we don't plan on ahving kids anytime soon.

Our wedding was a spur of the moment JOP thing with us wearing our normal clothes. I think we were too young.

If I could go back in time I would have held off on getting married for so we could have arranged the whole big church wedding thing. We still plan on doing it (and my parents can't wait lol).
I always planned on getting married at around 30.

i was 24 and he was 25 when we got married and I look at that age as so young. but i felt i was ready because i finished college and lived on my own for a couple years years before i met him. i even moved across the country myself. i felt i had grown into myself and that was what was important to me. now we've been married 4 years and expecting our first child.

engaged: me 19 him 22
when we get married in december i'll be 20 and he'll be 23
we are waiting to have kids until i'm 25 or 26 (when he gets out)

i was 17 when i got engaged i have been engaged for 8 months and we are getting married when i am eighteen and he gets back from deployment!
