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

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.

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.

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.

The British side seems trashy (too many tats and boobs falling out of dresses) and the American side, not much better (Miami: need I say more?). The bride and groom seem like vacuous wastrels who've never been asked to develop skills or self-reliance by their self-absorbed parents. Nobody is exceptionally good-looking and the groom especially looks like a very, very average lower-class British bloke, with sparse facial hair and unmemorable beige features that call to mind the lads that hang about grim council flats on the gloomy outskirts of London.

They signed an ironclad prenup so there won't even be any money drama when they inevitably divorce.

I click on the DM stories hoping against hope for something interesting or lovely to look at and I just see a bunch of mediocre-looking people and C-list celebrities, and I feel a crushing sense of ennui. Give me a royal wedding any day, or an A-list celeb wedding in Malibu. But this one is just depressing. Do better, DM. Do better.
