It's official: Gen Z are not delaying marriage til 30s anymore, young weddings are cool again

They will miss out on a lot of fun, I loved being single in my 20s, the excitement of going out, meeting people, really dating (not faux hs/college “dating” which just means a lot of texting and phone calls).

Also isn’t this the group that says they missed out on such “important” life events like prom, “normal” college experiences, etc due to covid? So why wouldn’t they want to socialize some more?

Model/actress Joey King married last year when she was 23. She has 20M followers on instagram.

And yes I think because having a stable career and buying a house are less attainable than even a couple of decades ago, getting married seems like a fun grown up accomplishment. I’m not mad at it.

The pendulum is always swinging! I don't see it as a bad thing. It's easier to save and grow as a couple.

I have noticed this "trend" already.

I’ve noticed it too, although I didn’t know it was a trend. I know a few couples in their 20’s getting married. My niece got married at 22 just after graduating college from a top 25 school.

What about the other trend of not marrying at all?

I have coworkers with babies who are not married.

LOL! These are kids who never have to worry about careers or money.

To say nothing of the fact that they likely will no longer be married within 10 years. Maybe 5?

I encourage you to look within and think about why your response to beautiful wedding photos and discussion of young love is to be nasty and predict divorces.

I’d love to be a young grandma. My aunt had to wait till she was 70.

Me too! I'd love to see my grandkids become adults.

I don’t see this trend happening with middle class and lower Gen Z. My cousin’s daughter (born 1999) is getting married next year, will be 26 as will her fiance, and she is by far the first of her friends to get married. I got married at 25 and had been to SO many weddings by that point. 24-27ish was peak wedding age.

Oh c’mon. How many celebrity marriages make it past 10 years, much less ones that start out so young? I wish them the best, but they’ll be fine whether they stay together or not.

These people are extremely wealthy. I don't think you can compare the average Gen z with Millie Bobby Brown and Jon bon jovi's son

I got married at 23 and had my first at 26, in law school. People acted like I was a teen mom. It was ridiculous. I’ve been married for 17 years and I’m really happy with my choices. I have health problems now that could have kept me from having kids in my 30s. So I’m really glad I got that done in my 20s and I would recommend for my children to do the same.

At the same time, I was fairly mature at 23 and knew what I wanted. I knew DH was a good partner.

I wish I could have had children younger. I don't see what the big deal is. Think of how young you'll be when the nest empties!

The two couples mentioned so far also have huge social media presences. I’m guessing that’s the correlating - and causing - factor. Not being gen z.
