    What would be the best for a young couple?
    I was talking to my boyfriend and he wants to get married. I don't mind the thought of getting married but I am 19 almost 20 he is 21. We have been together for 6 months. I don't hate the thought of us being together but I don't know how to ge about the situation. He asked me to go to the courthouse next week, I have always dremt of walking down the isle with my daddy by my side to give me away but I don't think he would support me being with this guy at all. We have been living together for 5 months and I love every minute of it but could I make him happy as a wife. And if so is there anything wrong with going to the courthouse. Or should I have my dream wedding? I would gladly give that up just to be with him but is it to soon?

    It seems as though you already have your doubts. Go with your heart.

    I too agree it is too early. You have only been together for 6 months. Take some time to get to know each other. Plan the wedding of your dreams. You can only have it once. Just once can you wear white and have Daddy walk you down the aisle.

    Take your time, plan a beautiful wedding together. Let him know that you want to share that day with everyone you love, not just him, but everyone.

    There is no reason to rush into a marriage, especially since you've only been together for 6 months. If you want to get engaged, I suggest you do that, then set a date. In the meantime you will be able discuss/prepare the wedding you've always wanted. It is also crucial that you let your parents warm up to the idea, it will only cause problems down the road if your family hasn't had time to at least attempt to like/accept your boyfriend. Good luck to you.

    Take some more time. I speak from the heart... I met my husband when I was 20 and I waited 8 years to walk down the aisle simply because I wanted to grow up and be older before making that serious of a commitment.

    When we planned our wedding, I always asked myself "How will I look back on this day?" It seems dumb, but it helped me prioritize my feelings. We thought about eloping, but I knew I'd look back and regret not bringing our families together for a religious ceremony. I knew I'd regret not getting a wedding video to look back on. I knew I wouldn't miss having alcohol served. You get my drift...

    Try and think ahead 30 years. What would you want to tell your kids about the man you married and the way you married him?
