My finger hovered back and forth, then I clicked under 21+ because technically I was. I was two months shy of 21, but I usually say 21 and not 20 because, well, it sounds older.

Erin, your note made me chuckle. we married 4 days after I turned 28 and 1 day before my DH did, so I can joke that I married a younger man.

Well, the first time I got married I was 28 -- it was the height of the 80s when us career-women weren't SUPPOSED to get married and have babies. Then, I was widowed at 31 ... then re-married at 37!

I was 19 and he was 30. Well he had just turned 30 and I was about to turn 20! People think my parents must have only allowed it because he took over paying for my college (I was a commuter student to GMU)!

I had to even out the stats 
I got married at 31.
I really wanted to get married earlier, my knight in shining armor didn't show up until then.

I think I was one of those that inspired the poll.
I had just graduated college. We celebrated our 11th aniversary in July and when I tell people they look dumbfounded.

One year after graduating college; we were both 23. And, as 4LadsMom said, now that sounds like someone barely out of diapers!
Peace,

we were both 19 herre too!
we joke that we've be together since puberty since we met/got engaged within weeks of my turning 16.
why I remember way back when dh didn't have to worry about shaving a beard! now I'm going grey, and his going bald and neither of us care. I'm getting "blonder" without having to pay for it and he has one less thing to maintain.

19 . We both look really young, though, and so when I tell people that we've been married for 8 years, they ask me if we got married when we were 12.
