[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is 23 considered “pretty young” to get married?[/quote]

Because it is. The average first marriage age for an American male is 29 and for an American female it's 27.][/quote]

I barely know any married younger millennials or older Gen Zers in their early-mid 20s, but I’m an older Millennial born in the mid-80s and like, 23-26 was prime wedding time for me and my friends. Multiple weddings every summer and fall, people showing up at work with engagement rings all the time. [/quote]

Where are you from, and where were you living from 23-26?  I'm roughly the same age and this was not at all my experience.  I was 26 when my first friend got married (and she's a couple years older than me), and prime wedding time for my friends was 29-33.  I feel like that is much more the norm of our peers, but it may be a urban/rural or regional divide thing.[/quote]

I grew up in the Midwest. Most of my friends have 4 year degrees, some only 2 or they went right to work or enlisted, but most had college degrees. I went to 6 weddings when I was 24-25, and got married myself at 25 (almost 26), and went to 3 other weddings that same year! My younger sister also got married at 25. But just speaking of the younger people I know and work with, they’re almost all single, not even seriously dating. I moved to this area when I was 28 and there were people at my new job who were shocked that I had already been married for almost 3 years. So I think it’s definitely regional.

I do agree that it’s beginning to be a status symbol thing to be a young(ish) hot mom amongst celebs. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a kid sooner rather than later. [/quote]
