What does age matter?
Married at 24
I just had to post this. What the hell is so shocking about getting married in your early twenties? I know someone who just got married. She's 23; she'll be 24 in December. He's 28. I was at the restaurant for the party. We had cake. She was glowing. They were both ecstatic. They're one of the most awesome couples ever. It wasn't shocking. It was beautiful. It was absolutely perfect and just right.
When I was 24, I had already been in a solid relationship for four years. We knew we'd be getting married. It wasn't shocking. We were married two years later; he's three years older than me. Everyone knew we were going to get married, because we were that perfect for each other. No big deal. What's the difference between 24 and 26, or 23 for that matter?
Besides, didn't it used to be common for women in their early twenties to be married already?
I... I don't understand the point of the article (added: actually, the article itself I like; but the apparent "stigma" of young marriage as being shocking or crazy or weird, I was bothered by).
