as you all know, i go to the Marines this summer, and Megan (my girlfriend) want to get Married after i finish bootcamp and MCT (Marine Combat Training) which would be around next January. But, her parents might not be all that willing to help with the wedding. And my mom maxed out 2 credit cards to help my bro with his wedding. So what we want to do is wait till she turns 18 during springbreak. With us both 18, and me hopefully with a job, we can go to a Justice of the Peace for a cheap ceremony (sp?). That way when i get out i will have collected marriage pay, as well as seperation pay. Which means i'll get out with close to 4-5 thousand dollars in net pay. Lets asume $3,500 for the big church wedding, that still leaves $1,500 for starting as well as family gifts and what not. the only bad thing is we can't tell our local frienda or her family, and most of mine, till the end.

I don't think getting married at 18 under any circumstances is a bright idea...

Im going to have to agree on Baka.. I definately think you should wait on it. You're both still so young and have things to do with your life. Im not saying to forget her, but keep your options open. It's horrible, when people rush off to get married, and then end up devorcing a year later because things didn't work out, you know? If you wait, it'll test your love a bit longer, and save you alot of trouble in the future.

BakaTulip I don't think getting married at 18 under any circumstances is a bright idea... agreed, but if nothing can persuade you to wait, it's a good plan.

ash_nazg_durbatuluk BakaTulip I don't think getting married at 18 under any circumstances is a bright idea... agreed, but if nothing can persuade you to wait, it's a good plan. thanks. Ash. I mean it's not were doing it unprepared. I mean We both understand that it's not a "magical sign" of Maturity. We do it not to spaite anyone. And most certainly we do so out of love. We reconize the obsatculs(sp?) are going to come our way (And there will be plenty of them.) And yes, your right i'm doing it anyway, but i thank your for your warnings. I'll keep them in my foremind. 3nodding

Well I cannot convince you to stop. But I do think that cohabitation for a while before marriage would be a good idea, just... I dunno. I'm cautious about marriage with the divorce rate as high as it is. But very much luck to you!

You should wait it out. That way, you will both have more time to see how serious you are about your relationship (I'm not dissing you or anything, I just think 18 is a little young) and that way you will be financially stable for the wedding and stuff 3nodding .
