That sounds very familiar!!!! I also got married at 18 my husband was 20. The amount of people who took me aside to tell me I was crazy or gossiped behind my back astounded me! I felt no support from those I thought were my friends. We are coming up on our 2nd year and although it’s not always easy, neither of us are sorry we did it. It’s hard being the only one among my friends that married or my age but its worth it. It’s your life. Follow your heart

21 years later and 2 beautiful daughters and we are still happier than ever. Our daughters are 20 and 17 and most of our friends have children under 10 and at the time would say i can’t believe you’re settling down so young, won’t you get bored, it won’t last.. we don’t feel we have missed out at all in life, we’ve done everything we have ever wanted to do. We’ve grown together and shared so much. I do agree with you when you say how much your tastes changed in a short space of time and so many things i would have done differently regarding the wedding also we’d be the only couple in the friends group when invited out but it was always a good topic of conversation too as people were like wow so you guys are married for 8 years and you’re only 24… people always seem amazed! We don’t regret a single minute of it and hope to have many more wonderful years!

It’s fun to have the memories of those “lean” times when you’re just starting a life together! I’m so glad that you don’t regret your choice to marry at an early age either. And how awesome that you’re supporting your daughter as she does the same thing!

I really relate to this. When my hubby and I first married we had $17 to weekly shop on. Whole chickens were my best friend. You could get 3 meals out of that. I was 18 when I fell in love with my bf, 21 when I was finally allowed to married (I unfortunately listened to the voices) and we have been married for 18 years. My daughter is 17 and getting married in the next couple of months. The same voices are trying to talk her out of it. But this mama has been shutting it down. Thank you for the stories.

Met when we were both nineteen and engaged at 20. Married when we had just turned 22. I feel we grew together for the final stages of our teen to twenties transition. Whst helped was delaying children until into our early thirties so we had a lot of going out to clubs like singles and so much late night fun, but with each other. A lot of stress taken off us at that stage as we already had found our life partner. No regrets at all just that I met my soul mate so young.!!! I would totally change up the wedding if getting married today! It was really my Mum’s wedding plan not mine. Haha…Now I have a nearly 14yr old daughter dating a very compatible boy and I feel they also might last the distance and marry early too…ah well…young love. When you meet your ONE you just know, whatever the age, that it will last. I feel if you are committed and willing to grow together in the same direction you can survive anything life throws at you. At any age. This year marks our Silver wedding. Heres to another 25 years, and God willing more like 50 yrs together yet to come!
