[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this happening at an accelerated rate these days? I've been to two weddings of 2025 college grads this summer and all the kids are 21/22. They're headed off to medical school and law school and are the kids of professional parents who married in their early 30s. 
My teens say early marriage is all over instagram as well.

Sample size bias or is this a trend?[/quote]

We are in our mid 50's with kids in their 20's so know lots of kids in that age group among ours and kids friends. I was invited to at least 6 weddings in last two years where bride and groom were in their early 20's, either just graduated or a year or two out of college. All with well off professionals parents and doing well themselves with six figure job or attending professional schools.

Even though it sounds like child marriage from DCUM perch but in many cases, it made complete sense. It takes long time to establish yourself in some fields so putting life on hold makes little sense. If they've found a good partner and wish to get engaged or married, its not better or worse than struggling with dating and hookups for a decade. A sensible and ambitious young couple can give each other stability and focus.

Must mention that these young couples don't have any debt and almost all have lucrative careers secured. Its specially becoming common for medical field as from college diploma to attending pay check, it often takes 8-15 years. [/quote]
