24-yo Sofia Richie ties the knot in France. Marrying in your early 20s is trendy!

I love that celebrities are doing this! I hope more American kids marry right after college. Marrying your high school or college sweetheart is so much smarter than waiting until you're in your late 20s or 30s. Being a young bride in your early 20s and then quickly having babies is beautiful.

| This has to be a troll. Studies show someone's brain isn't fully formed until the age of 25. |

| Sigh. This requires having a serious college sweetheart, which in turn requires a degree of luck. |

| Maybe it’s ok if your daddy is super rich and being a 25 year old divorcée with a couple of kids won’t be detrimental to your career, but this is not a great idea for most young women (or men, really). |

I mean…mid 20’s, but ok. Both she and dad look great, so does the setting. Love the full veil. |

However did humanity live without knowing what studies show? I mean how ever did society survive thousands and thousands of years getting married and making decisions before the age of 25. 1/2 of the problems today is because we treat everyone like a child and don’t hold anyone accountable or make them do it themselves. Parents are coddling and handholding until their kids are in their mid-thirties! Just this week, my cousin asked me if I would write her 18-year-old daughter, a letter of recommendation-why isn’t her 18-year-old daughter asking me that? |

I think it requires taking your education seriously and being mindful of finding a quality marriage-potential boyfriend during eight years of high school and college. Not just carelessly partying and wasting your teens and 20s away on hookup culture because you can find a rich husband when you're in your 30s like the actresses on Sex and the City.

| Eh, it's a starter marriage. |

I think you're projecting. 24 is literally early 20s. |

And marrying at 24 would imply engagement at 22 or 23, i.e. right after graduating from college. This is THE ideal. |

Sofia Riche is rich (no pun intended). She didn’t and isn’t going to college. Same goes for Kylie Jenner, Sophie Turner, Bindi Irwin etc. Celebrities live in a different universe than you. Getting married & divorced three times in a lifetime is NBD for them. If she gets divorced she will still be rich. If she has babies 9 months from now, she will be able to afford the best nannies & education money can buy. She will be able to afford the nicest private hospital room, a long maternity leave & personal chefs. And so on. Celebs get married that young because it’s a stabilizing force for them at a time when they might have wonky relationships with their parents & the general public. Jennifer Gates is in med school, married & had a baby in her mid-20s but again she is set for life financially. Additionally, in rural areas, and in parts of the south & Midwest it is very common to marry right out of high school or college & start having kids immediately. Last I checked the average age of a mother at first birth for the (US as a whole) is 26. |

This is a really salty and mean-spirited reaction. Is this some sort of cope that everyone who marries younger than you is doomed for a bad marriage? Because the facts to do not support your negativity. Marrying young and do not cohabit first = the most successful marriages, actually: https://www.wsj.com/articles/too-risky-to-wed-in-your-20s-not-if-you-avoid-cohabiting-first-11644037261 |
