Is it normal to plan your wedding at 19 years old?

Question

I don't know why but lately I have been wanting to get married and start a family. I don't even have a boyfriend and I am fresh out of high school so I know its to early. But I already made 3 wedding websites. I have been feeling lonely and boy crazy but Is this something I will grow out of?

Answer 1

don't plan too early you might rush into something and end up going for Mr Right now instead of Mr Right  

Answer 2

I had a  15 year old friend at high school who had a scrap book covered with  pretty pink paper that she would stick  pictures of wedding dresses, cakes, floral arrangements etc from magazines  in (lol) . When she  finally did get married almost 20 years later  her actual wedding bore almost no resemblance to the pictures in that scrapbook. Your tastes will change, fashions and trends will change and your eventual husband  may have his own ideas on how he wants his wedding day to look and you may have to be  prepared to compromise. So, in short, plan your wedding, all harmless fun, you could be out  doing drugs and  drinking to excess but no, you are at home  building websites and daydreaming. Just don't be surprised if you have a  similar experience to my high school friend.

It is normal to plan your wedding at even 10 years old! It's every girl's dream! Just don't go too crazy and get obsessive about it until you are actually engaged because you will get the point of planning where you realize you are missing a man, and then you will get really sad about it.

Good luck! I know how you feel!

Answer 4

well, i'm turning 18 in one month and i'm getting married in february, so for me, YES!

before meeting the love of my life, of course i invisioned my wedding. i knew exactly what i wanted to wear, what type of ceremony i wanted, etc.

so i think it is normal...but whenever you do start dating, don't overwhem the man by telling him all of your plans on the first date!

Answer 5

Yes! It is every girls (or almost every girls) dream to have a beautiful wedding.  But keep in mind what you like now might not be what you like or what will be in style by the time you are planning a real wedding.  Plus, eventually you will have a boy friend/ fiancee who will want some input in the wedding too.  Just be patient and wait your big day will come.  

Answer 6

its perfectly normal to dream about how you would like it to be but things change and the person you fall i love with might not be able to facilitate that wedding. don't make you dream wedding one of your requirements for marrying a guy.

Answer 7

Go ahead and plan it if you enjoy it - but don't actually *do* anything about it.  The lower your age at marriage the more likely you are to get divorced.  Enjoy the single life and dating.  In 5-10 years start putting these plans into action!

Answer 8

As someone who's getting married and is 27, I wish I had thought a little bit about wedding stuff before now!! :)

It can be harmless fun to have wedding websites or look at wedding magazines--a ton of people subscribe to wedding magazines who have no intention of getting married in the near future! Being 19 is all about figuring out what you want for your life, and thinking about whether you want marriage, a family, a boyfriend, or what kind of wedding you want is all a part of that.

If you're feeling lonely, depressed, or "boy-crazy," then it might be a good idea to take your friends and go out more--that's only if you find that thinking about all of this wedding stuff is making you feel worse! It's by living your life that you're going to find the person to spend the rest of your life with, so go out and do it! :)

Answer 9

Woah slow down first off your going to scare every guy away if they find out that your one goal is to get married. Marriage is a good thing but you have to let it happen. Find someone who you come to love so much that you can't bear to spend time away from and marry them. Don't plan a wedding and find just anyone to put in it. As far as the age goes, don't worry, you can be young at it can work out just fine if you love the person enough to be willing to put up and mature along with them.  

Answer 10

I am in my mid teens, and I'm already searching for dresses for my wedding, visiting websites and places and such! Wow, it is actually a VERY exciting thing to do and VERY normal! also, if you do get married in the future, you already have a back-up plan!

Answer 11

I am glad to know you realize it is early for you to actually get married.  You should focus on your education right now, but since you are interested in weddings, why not turn this interest into some sort of job?  You could work at a bridal shop or help plan weddings with an agency and gain valuable skills along the way.  That would give you a good creative wedding outlet and make some money along the way.  On a personal level, take the next few years to figure out who you are and then find someone to share that with.  

Answer 12

Thats what I am doing, however I am engaged (will be a long engagement, 3, maybe 4 years) and I got my GED early and am in my third year of college now, so similar but not exactly the same.  of course, I think it is just fine!  for crying out loud, I already have semi-final drafts of wedding programs and invitations and all that!  my fiance is completely good with it, and thinks it is cute when i tell him "our" plans.  Samiam is wrong, by the way.  although I wouldn't go on a first date and start talking about what food you want at the reception, at the same time, when a goo dguy comes around, he's going to WANT to get married.  that's what happened with my guy and me.  he either wanted to get married or be a priest, and he was preparing for which ever God called him to.  Thankfully it seems to be the former!  he never dated just to date.

anyways, to end my answer...  plan away!  one thing... don't use your real name, or a real name of anyone (except maybe celebrities for fun!) on the website.  you don't want a future employer to see it and be like.. huh... I didn't know she knew Johnny Depp so well.... oh, and Leonardo DiCaprio.... and... Spongebob???

Use "Jane" and "John" that's what I try to do. lol.  have fun!
