Question just came to me after thinking about my dream last night (I'll explain)?

Question

Ok, I had a dream last night that my fiance and I were 17 and getting married (We went back in time 5 years!) and nothing was going right. The caterer didn't show up, the photographer didn't come, the baker forgot to make my cake, my best friend (and maid of honor) had died in child birth, and not a single person brought a digital camera! To top it all off, my fiance had bought a house but my brothers had moved in with us! So, I've been working all day to make sure that I find a caterer, photographer, and baker I can trust! (LOL!)

So, the question I have been inspired to ask (just out of curiosity... I'm weird like that) is...

How old were you when you got engaged? How old are you now? And how old will you be when you get married?

My answers are:

I got engaged at 22

I'm 22 now

I'm getting married at 24

Answer 1

Lets see

Engaged at 17

I am 19 now  

Will be married at 20

Answer 2

engaged at 23/ 23 now/ will be married at 24

Answer 3

engaged at 21 and getting married 18 days before my 23 birthday

Answer 4

Interesting dream - wow! I guess the bonus is that you will be really, really careful with planning and contracts!

I got engaged at 27, married eight months later when I was 28. We had known one another a year, then dated for two before we were married. Celebrated 19 years of happy married yesterday!

Answer 5

I got engaged two weeks after my 22nd birthday (so I was 23).  

I got married when I was 24.

I'm older than that now....

So, a dream about how horribly your wedding went led you to questions about ages? LOL.  I had some pretty nasty dreams about my wedding, too.  To the point that I wasn't sleeping, and had to go to the doctor's to get a pill.  It's normal, don't worry.

As long as you realize that your wedding day will not be perfect, things will go wrong, and you can take the small issues with a grain of salt and your man by your side, everything will be okay.  

I forged on with the thought that if nobody showed up, if the roof caved in, if there was no music, no hall, no dress... my husband would be by my side.  And as long as we were married at the end of the day, NOTHING else mattered.  (Didn't help the nightmares, but it did help the flat tire I got on the day of, and handling the witchy photographer...)

Answer 6

Started dating at 24, engaged at 25, and will be married at 26.

:)

Answer 7

LOL, THAT'S CALLED DIVINE INSPIRAtion, MUNCH.  

Ya see, it's bringing out your worst fears and letting you know to work your little butt off Now.  24 may or may not be a good age to get married, me personally, I had too much to do first and didn't want to regret it or ponder on it later after I made 'the commitment' of a lifetime.  So I traveled, did it all, actually.  

The one thing I CAN suggest is that you and your future ex husband (jk) do is do not get married till you can afford a house, at least.  I've seen tight money break up more marriages.... whew.  So, you and Bobby Joe get yerselves a jump on things before ya switch rings.  Go for the gold, 50-year wedding anniversary, my parents made it and they got hitched around your age.  Nowadays, not too many see their 50th, but only stick it out if the respect holds.  And wait a bit before you throw children into the mix, please!

God bless you both.
