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’d agree with the folk suggesting you live together for at least a year first, whilst also holding down full time jobs. That’s what most of your life is going to be like, so you should know what that feels like before making that kind of commitment.
To be practical, the commitment is more about the money since weddings are expensive and divorce is just a bit of hassle (unless kids or mortgage are involved).
