I'm going to be 16 this year. My boyfriend on the other hand is in his 20's and has asked me to marry him. My mum has sad its OK but I don't know what to do. Should I get married so early in life. Or should I wait a little bit longer. I love him and would do anything for him and he feels the same. It's the real thing.. bu what should I do??
PLEASE HELP

If this was the real real thing, you would not be asking if you should wait. I think you should wait and see how you feel at 18. Might be quite a bit different than now. Might be the same, but the two years in maturity will make a good difference.
Why does you Mom say it is okay? Did she get married young? Is she hoping you will then be settled down and in your own home with your husband?
Just my opinion, and others will differ, but waiting is a good idea. If something is this real, it will remain real.

Sorry, you are 15 and your mother is OK with you marrying a 20 something guy? OK.maybe I bring mine up wrong, but I believe after my son is 21 he can do what he pleases, there's no way he would be getting married at 15 that's for sure.
At 15 you do not know what REAL love is, and no I am not getting at you, and yes maybe I am showing my age, but there is so much more to getting married than love... theres bills to pay, there's jobs to find and hold down to pay those bills, there's arguments and tears, cheating, lying, pregnancy scares... yes there's all the good times too... I wish I could go back to being 15, there's a million and one things I would do differently, but I cant, nobody can, so make full use of your childhood before its too late, there's plenty of time to get married, but 15 is too young, in my opinion.
