We would be getting married on our 4 year anniversary (we started dating when I was a freshman), I'll be 18, he'll be 19.
We've been talking about getting married seriously since we had been dating maybe 5 months. He first mentioned it a little over 2 weeks after we started dating...
I really love him and I know he loves me (seriously, you should see how he looks at me... it makes me want to cry happy tears... ok sometimes I actually do...)
My mom thinks we shouldn't get married until I'm at least 24, her general rule is 25, so she's bending by saying 24...
I'm not very religious but I do think marriage is sacred... I know it shouldn't be rushed into, and we've talked a lot about what we plan to do for college and jobs. We haven't decided which colleges to go to, but there are a lot of state colleges in my state, so we have options.
We're thinking we'll each have part-time jobs in college, and he'll work full-time while I'm in medical school. Then we'll have kids during my medical residency (we both want kids, a LOT) and of course once I finish, residency is 4 years, not forever.
I know the divorce rate is high amongst young marriages... I just really want to stand in front of my friends and family and say how much I love him... I get teary-eyed when I read sample vows sometimes....
I just really think we have a good chance...
We haven't started planning a wedding yet, so it's not a "having doubts" situation.
Opinions?
