If you listen to the bitter shrews on here, that’s 10 years too early and is certain to end in divorce.

Desperate to stay relevant. Only 20 and her career’s already tanking.

If the world is ending, and the US is going down the drain, might as well find a little happiness and have two people to try to pay the rent/ food.

For as highly educated an area as DC is, it’s been interesting to see how much dumber we are than I thought.

You’re in denial. This is an obvious trend. And a new trend isn’t going to show up in historical data.

Fake news. Young people at elite colleges don’t get engaged until they’re 35 years old.

I'm not denying it's a micro trend with lots of visibility due to social media, but I think this is win for marriage you this this is.

I think this gen will call it quits earlier than any before it.

I got married at 23, and most of my friends married before 30. We're in our 40s now. One friend divorced.

I'm glad I had my kids before 30 because I developed an autoimmune disorder at that age and cannot have anymore.

It’s a young, rich and educated trend. Poor and middle class kids and their families can’t afford engagement rings, weddings and houses.

You are making it about material stuff. Nobody needs a diamond ring, a showoff wedding or a mortgage to marry.

Their combined net-worth is in millions even if you don't count his huge inheritance. Neither of them went to college or ever needs a job to survive or would need to raise or worry about the baby. Not a normal example for anyone.

I don't think getting married in your mid-20s is unusual at all. I got married in my mid-20s and I am 47. We got married right after law school and so did a lot of our friends. I do not think this is a new "trend." Back then, it was a little more unusual to get married at 21/22 right after college.

Then they can of course afford a good lawyer and with a prenuptial in place start again if things fall apart or even if the carefully curated images don't pan out into a fulfilling marriage. No harm, no foul.
