It sure did. My fiance is older than me by almost 10 years and he too was one of those married young types...he met his ex at 19 and they got married soon after. Now in hindset, he knows he wasn't ready. But for me, I'm glad I waited. I knew for sure I was not ready for a marraige before 25. Anyway, right now we are getting ready to move into our home next month and have a wedding set for March 2009...so we're in a pretty similar place to you guys. Good luck with your newly remodeled home btw!

You know, so many of my girlfriends say that 25 was "the age". It's almost like at 25, things just click or something, you know? I truly feel that way, I've grown and changed, but since 25 it was like becoming an adult. I think it's something that girls just go through. I think I said this before, but I never would have been ready for the love, resposibility, I could go on and on!
Thanks for the luck on the remodel. Lord knows I need it! I am sooooo stressed right now. I may have mentioned that this house has been in my family since the 40's? My Mom grew up here, and it needed a complete overhaul, I mean everything! I don't work, so I am going through all these boxes, and I'll work all day, and it's like a chip on a mountain. It's hard on my body, I have Fibromyalgia, among other things from a car accident, and it's overwhelming. I'm plugging away though!
It's actually really nice to talk to someone my age with a similar situation, I've been trying to connect to people on the board. I'm sure your excited about moving into our new home! Even moving back here, it's like a new home because it's so different. I bet you can't wait! I'm loving decorating! We did a lot of fun colors in the house, I got some great ideas form Beher paint booklets. They are these small pamphlets that come in every color, in warm, cool, and subtle. Not even the paint, but just decorating tips are things you wouldn't think of. They're free at Home Depot, pick some up if you can.
Anyway I'm rambling, look forward to talking to you again! Good luck with your move, and packing!

You ladies have been busy while I was "away" Robyn you've handed out some great advice and it's great to see the board "moving" again. My Lil sis got married at 18 and had her first child at 16 she's now 24 and has 3 children, She's not the person I knew when she was younger her Husband is cruel to her and treats her like dirt and yells at the kids all the time in the past 12 month's I've seen a slight change to her as she matures a bit but has a long way to go. I'm 36 so I'm and "oldie" here as well Hugs

Thanks, I love to give advice, I'm a psych major. I feel fulfilled when I can give some advice that may help someone. I love this board. I think it's great there is a place for brides to chat and vent with one another. I have a friend in a similar situation as your little sister. I'm sure that's hard for you. Good Luck, I hope she can get away from him. Thank your for welcoming me to the board, I'm really getting excited about my wedding in Spt. '09. It's nice to be able to share thoughts with other brides, I think my friends get sick of it sometimes! I love having this board, I feel like I know some of these people, and can't wait to get to know them better. It's nice to have a place where you feel like you belong. Take care! Hugs, *Robyn*

I'm 27, and can honestly say I've never dated anyone in my life. I'm just visiting as I help a few friends plan for their weddings. With all the medical problems I have, and keeping an eye on my grandmother, who is eighty-seven and in the early stages of Alzheimer's, I don't have time to so much as think about dating or marriage. I wouldn't say there is a "magic age" when one is mature enough to marry. I know numerous couples who married either shortly after finishing high school, or in the case of one, while the bride was still in high school, and these marriages have almost all lasted 30+ years. Most of the individuals in my generation whom I know that married shortly after high school, are now divorced at least once. One is going through her second divorce, and another is getting remarried in August.
