[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the fact that the op's "sample"of people are all married in their late 20s makes for a very narrow group she is referring to. Maybe 10 people tops.[/quote]

Marriage trends among wealthy and/or smart kids are changing. Sophia Ritchie was 24 when she got married last year.[/quote]

1 person does not equal a trend[/quote]

You're in denial. Either you're projecting because you waited so long to marry or worried about your unmarried adult kids.[/quote]

Nope. I married at 27 and my kids are teens/too young to marry. I just think it’s stupid to say something is a trend and cite “evidence” of 1 famous person who did it.

[b]You are out of touch or in denial[/b]. Millie Bobby Brown, age 20, just married last month. It’s become cool to marry young. [/quote]

No, I’m just smart enough to realize that 2-3 examples of people marrying young does not equal a trend. You need to look at some statistics. If you do, you’ll see that average age of first marriage in the US is in the early 30s for women w masters or professional degrees. I couldn’t find statistics that specifically broke down age at first marriage by income level or socioeconomic status but I thought education level often corresponds w income level so it’s a pretty reliable statistic for the purposes of this discussion.

Of course there are examples of upper class people marrying young as cited here w a few random famous people and some anecdotes about HYPS kids that posters knew marrying young that is not a “trend” and it’s certainly not the norm. It’s just a few outliers, statistically speaking. [/quote]

Sure but young marriages are now a TikTok trend.[/quote]

You have yet to show me any data that supports your point of view. [/quote]
