  1. You say no negative comments, but really, it is illegal in most places for a very good reason, if you both love each other, your love will last married or not, so why put yourself to so much trouble? The most positive thing you can do is wait, do it with your family and loved ones all around you and really live life. True love lasts, you have plenty of time. What's the rush? x


  2. Getting married at 15 is a mistake in the making. Think about it, most people live until they're 70 or 80 and you've only been alive for 15 short years.........slow down and live some of your life first before tying it down with a marriage. Life is to short as it is so don't try to push it to go faster.

    0-5 years old-- learning how to walk, talk, laugh and feed yourself

    6-18 years old-- learning behavour, education

    19-25-28 years old, furthering education, figuring out your goals in life and seizing them while still learning, dating, testing the waters.



    28 and up? continuing to learn, finding mr or mrs. right, settling down, marriage of you choose to commit.

    28-35 years old, living life to it's fullest, raising your family and juggling a career.

    35-65 years old, managing your life raising your family and being proud of your family and acomplishments your making throughout your life, remembering to appreciate and laugh along the way.

    65- on ? Being proud of working hard your lifetime, being proud of the children and grandchildren you've seen grow up, and cherishing the years and lifetime you've had here, remembering all the tears and happiness life left you experience, living in serinity.

    Life is to short to marry at 15 dear. Think about this more.

  4. Yes you can be married almost anywhere under 18 And once you are married it is about the same as emancipation though you need consent in the first place.

    I think you have to be at least 16 though, with parental consent.  

  5. There's no where in the US that allows marriage of  a minor at 15 without consent of a parent or guardian. At 15 you will need to get emancipated, which means going to the court and proving to the judge that you can financially and physically take care of yourself. Once you are emancipated, you will be able to get married. Make sure that's what you really want though... marriage isn't always easy and you are so young. Just be careful and good luck.

  6. World Class Nuptials

    Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes did it with wildly publicized extravagance in a 15th-Century Italian castle, while Bill and Melinda Gates preferred the low-key intimacy of a private Fijian island. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban returned to their native Australia to take their vows, and Pink headed to Costa Rica with Corey Hart.

    Celebrities and the well-heeled have been seeking out exotic wedding destinations for years, and these days the trend is catching on with the masses. According to a recent study by The Conde Nast Bridal Group, approximately 16 percent of first marriages take place in a far-flung destination. Include second marriages and that figure jumps to 60 percent.

    These days a destination wedding can be a way to save money. The cost of a traditional wedding in a big city like Los Angeles or New York might start at around $40,000, while a ceremony in Mexico or the Caribbean is more likely to cost $5,000 to $8,000. Many couples designate a portion of those savings toward defraying the costs of the trip for their guests.

    See our slideshow of 10 great places to get married.

    Renowned wedding planner Sasha Souza says that while couples who plan a destination wedding may invite fewer people, they are putting greater effort into entertaining the whole wedding party in order to create a more memorable, highly personal event. "Everyone has been to a luxury hotel, but a destination wedding is something special," she says.

    Quentin Carmichael Jr., President of DestinationWeddings.com, cites our increasingly mobile society as another reason for the rise of the destination wedding. "It's rare that a boy marries the girl next door," he says. "These days you're much more likely to meet your spouse at college or while making a career move to a new city. If the bride is from New York and the groom is from California, an easy choice for a destination wedding is Mexico, enabling both families to meet in the middle."

    Many couples opt to create their own From Here to Eternity moment by marrying at a beach resort, and the most popular destinations--Mexico, the Caribbean and Hawaii--are also some of the easiest to reach. Cabo San Lucas, which is close to Los Angeles, has attracted celebrities like Oliver Hudson (Kate's brother), who married Erinn Bartlett at One&Only Palmilla Resort, and former National Hockey League star Brett Hull, who chose to go to Esperanza.

    Fiji has seen a recent surge in popularity since Tory Spelling's well-publicized nuptials there in May 2006. For the ultimate in seclusion, Theknot.com Editor in chief, Carley Roney, recommends one of Fiji's private islands or Qamea Resort & Spa. This lush resort on one of the remote northern islands has wonderful scuba diving and only 15 cottages.

    The Caribbean has long been a wedding destination of choice for East Coasters. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck married in Parrot Cay off Turks and Caicos. In The Bahamas, Harbour Island's Pink Sands beach was a favorite among the wedding planners we spoke to.

    Of course, not everyone wants to get married on a beach, and the number-one choice for couples who prefer terrific food and wine in an old-world setting is Italy. Rome is popular, as is the Amalfi Coast, with its whitewashed buildings and breathtaking views over the Bay of Naples. The castles of Ireland, Scotland and England are other popular European wedding destinations.

    Whether you're seeking an intimate affair on a secluded, private beach or a glorious splurge in a 15-century Italian castle, the world is full of perfect wedding destinations--we've narrowed down the choices to the top ten.


  7. if you get married under the law of islam you can be married whenever

  8. pleeeeeeassssssse don't do it it ruined my childhood you can in the state of missouri with parents sig...or it was that way in 1994 when i married at 15..please think about it, i can't stop you & no one stopped me & i regret it bad

  9. umm you have to get married in a foreign country most likely but if you have your parents consent any where... good luck

  10. go to  candadaa

  11. In the United States, you must be 18 (or older in some places) to get married without parental permission. In most states you can get married at 16 with parental permission. Younger than 16 is typically going to require a court order, which the judges really don't like to grant or a doctor's certificate showing that they are pregnant or already have a child. (In California to get married at 14 requires parental consent, a counseling session and appearance before a judge!)


  12. You can get married at any age with parental consent in the U.S.

    Any age depending on what state.

  13. Anywhere, you just need your parents consent.  

  14. yes if your parents show up with you at the courthouse when you apply for a marriage license

  15. why would you want to? You may think that you know whats going on, but really you don't marriage is a big thing.  You are committing yourself to 1 person for your whole life. Don't do it your young...

  16. i am still not married and i am 21 years old u just15 and get married?

  17. Alaska

  18. omg ur 15 and u wanna get married first it depends what satate u live at cuz some of the states u cant get married under 15 (i mean to get

    arrested) or u can go live with ur boyfriend and just act like ur married i mean have kids and go to work normaly IDK!

  19. a motel room

  20. 16 is the min age in the uk, but i think you need parental consent if you are 16 or 17.

  21. I am not trying to be negative, but I got married at 17 (he was 19, almost 20), and I sure wish that I had not.  Marriage was much harder and much different from what I expected it to be.  I can't even begin to describe you how hard we struggled. It only lasted 22 months, sadly.  We were just too young to deal with the responsibilities.

    here is a site where they explain all about marrying under 18 years old legally in america, in some states you will need a court order. anyway hope it helps, but are you sure about your decision??? just make sure that you are REALLY thinking through your choices, and if you aren't sure of what to do, maybe you should visit a counselor  

  23. Sorry!!  My question is why would you want to?  At 15 you have not idea what you want to do with the rest of your live.  I only say this because I have a 17 yr old sister that wants to get married.  We sat down with her bf and came to the conclusion, they can't afford it.  Marriage is a lifetime commitment and not to be entered into lightly.  Please think before you leap.

    If you are still bound and determined to do it, I believe your parents have to sign a paper stating that it is alright.
