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.
Please reconsider.
Give it three more years, you develop very fast in your teens, and you have two years head start on that front. You seem to be rushing through a period that should be taken slow.
I would also recommend that you try and live together for a minimum of a year before making any big plans.
Remember that marriage is not only a big/lavish party, it is also a legally binding agreement, and makes splitting up way more difficult should the need arise.
Even if you are both onboard with marriage now, there is zero advantage to rushing through it, there are plenty of advantages to waiting.
