Morgan
I've been with my boyfriend (Fiancé) for a year and 4 months now, and we are engaged, we plan to get married June 10,2017 and I'm 16 and he's almost 19, a lot of my friends don't support it and tell me it's to fast but I don't think it is, what do you think?

I got engaged on my 17th birthday, we had been together for just over a year and I had literally no doubt whatsoever that he was the one. Everyone will tell you that your so young that your immature you don't know what real love is like, you need to focus on education and not grow up so fast.You know what I'm going to tell you?CONGRATULATIONS. 🎉🎉🎉Age is no indicator of anything, my MIL has a horrible marriage and she got engaged at 40. I have an incredible marriage and I got engaged at 17.No bride-to-be wants to hear horrible things said about her engagement, i am so, so happy for you both and I pray that you don't listen to anybody that tries to knock your choices.You are going to make a beautiful bride, and have the most beautiful wedding and incredible marriage, have an amazing life together guys, I'm so happy for you both! Congratulations on the engagement!🎉👰🏼🎈💍

If you feel sure about him then I think that's great c: congrats! I hope you are super happy. I'm not engaged but my bf said as soon as I graduate (this year) he's gonna propose some time soon. I'm also sixteen (almost seventeen) and hes eighteen (almost nineteen) its all about preference and love. <3

I think it's too fast. A promise ring I can understand, not a marriage. It's so soon in your life. My advice, since you're already engaged, stay engaged a year or two into your adult life and see if you still want to get married then. Don't get married as soon as you turn 18. He could be your one, yes, but you need some more time to be sure about it.

so don't be so quick to pass judgement when you don't know anything about the situation behind it. 🍒

You know absolutely nothing about her relationship with him. Her age has got nothing to do with her marriage, I got engaged on my 17th birthday and I have the most incredible marriage, we knew each other for just over a year when we got engaged. My MIL got engaged at 40 and has a horrible marriage,

I was engaged at 17 and getting married in 3 weeks! I think if you know you will be with him forever, it's great. I feel my fiancé and I were a match made in heaven. Just keep in mind that marriage is going to be hard! It's a whole different level. And it is supposed to be forever.

To know he's truly the one. My friends have been together since 6th grade and just graduated. They both mutually thought they need to see the world and be with other people to know what love really is

I'm engaged at 17 (fiancé is 24) and I love it. It's not for everyone and you have to be SURE of all the work and responsibility a marriage takes is worth it for you!

I agree, I got engaged on my 17th birthday. Not everybody can handle it, not everybody should do it. But if you can and you know that you can do it then go for it!

I got married when we were 19, and we're still happy 2 years later. Aslong as you are getting married for the right reasons I see no problem

I don't think it's too soon. When you find the one you love and they make you happy, age means nothing. Do what makes you happy and if your friends care about you, they will accept any decision you make. If they don't, find new friends.
