[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. This thread actually helped me a lot. I spoke with my mom and she said I was too young to need anything when I was getting married and that she told my aunt not to throw me a shower (I didn’t know my aunt evenoffered to throw one). She said a 23 year old didn’t need fancy china like a 30 year old does who hosts family holidays.

I did know that my parents thought I was getting married too young but dh and I were happy together (and still are!) and wanted to get married before buying a house and moving in together.

My family is wealthy. We are not but are comfortably happy and I don’t regret any money spent on my wedding. I guess I just feel like people don’t support young marriages the same way they support older marriages, but that’s my opinion. [/quote]

It’s possible that people assume that when people marry young, they are more likely to get divorced. And to be fair, statistics would back them up. You and your spouse are beating the odds, but your parents had no way of knowing that at the time when you were planning your wedding.
