Parents always try to be parents. Not all are so enlightened as to be nice.<BR/><BR/>So we played along and respected their wishes. We set a firm date and stuck with getting married. We tried to keep our relationship on good terms with our parents. <BR/><BR/>Would they have disowned us at 22 and 24? Probably, but not all parents are kind and understanding.Living Almost Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594523259748625997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-66715546997000743902007-10-03T08:56:00.000-04:002007-10-03T08:56:00.000-04:00If you're worried about what your parents think, t...If you're worried about what your parents think, then you are too young to get married. Parents are to be respected, but it sounds like you have some boundary issues with yours and are a bit too emeshed in each other's lives. Perhaps it's just a cultural thing. But as adults (even at ages 22 and 24), one shouldn't let one's parents dictate life plans and/or finances.<BR/><BR/>Barb1954Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-1855635785604093952007-10-03T08:40:00.000-04:002007-10-03T08:40:00.000-04:00We didn't get married because we decided to buy a ...We didn't get married because we decided to buy a house instead. We used all our savings to buy and felt we wanted a "big" wedding. Our parents both felt if we couldn't pay for a wedding then we shouldn't be getting married.<BR/><BR/>We paid in full for our wedding 100% and honeymoon too. We did initially get married in front of a judge quietly for legal reasons, but 1 year later we had a wedding for our families.<BR/><BR/>So we made a conscious decision not to wed young because of our house. Also if we had chosen to get married our parents would have been angry because they felt we were too young at 26 and 28, imagine how they would have felt at 22 and 24. <BR/><BR/>So a lot of reasons can play into it. I am a bit upset that my friend isn't getting married when I know she wants to. I think at 29 and 31 they should be ready for the commitment or not. They are done with school, financially have good jobs, so I'm not sure what the hold up is. Especially since she knows she wants kids by 35 and would like 1 year of marriage before rushing into kids.Living Almost Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594523259748625997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-30385997902814365792007-10-03T08:16:00.000-04:002007-10-03T08:16:00.000-04:00For a young couple, I don't understand the willing...For a young couple, I don't understand the willingness to commit to buying real estate together if you can't commit to getting married. Co-mingling finances when you are not married is not a good idea.<BR/><BR/>Barb1954Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
