I’m 19 now and engaged to my 17-year-old girlfriend, whom I’ve been with for three years. We have a wedding planned for September 2026. It has always been my dream to have a family of my own, and that motivated me to propose: why wait if you know what you want? Thankfully, my parents are supportive, and I’m aware that without them, none of this would be possible at our age.
I wasn’t even the same person at 15 as I was at 20, or 25 that I was at 20. Looking back now at 35, I cannot imagine getting married at 20.
