[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]

90s kid here.  Almost everyone I know, including me, married someone they met in college.  But we didn't do it at 23/5 when we graduated (it was the 5-6 year plan back then). We cohabitated first and then married sometimes much much later:

Me - met my husband in college and we lived together for 7 years, all through grad school before getting married.
my brother - met his wife in college and they dated long distance when he went to grad school/broke up/got back together and then married 4 years later
my best friend - she was already working but met her husband who was still in college and knew some of her college friends (she went to college in the town she grew up in). She was 24 when they started dating but they didn't marry for a couple years.

We did tend to meet the people we would marry at then end of our college careers, so maybe that was the difference?  Most marriages happen late twenties early thirties but to people we were partnered with since before we were 25. We waited to get married but I don't know why?
