Why do you need to get married? Why spend all that money?

Why not carry on as you are and travel together and do amazing things together.

You are very young and you have not been together for very long. Has your relationship been tested at all or have you been together every day so you have never had a chance to check your feelings are real?

If you really are in love then you will have your whole lives to plan and save for your perfect wedding. If you rush into it now then you may regret it later.

Do something with your life before marriage kids and mortgages tie you down.

Good Luck!! xx

If that is what you trully want then go and get married.

Just don't do it lightly, because thats how divorces happen.

If you can't tell if you love someone after a year and half of dating, then you shpuldn't get married.

From personal experience I believe you should wait. I married at 18 to a guy I really loved with all my heart and believed he loved me as well... I am now 24 and my divorce just finalized on Friday.

I didn't want to hear people tell me I was to young or anything like that I was determined that I could handle it and just because we were 18 we still had the same feelings we would have at 30 but I must admit I was wrong!

Getting married is huge and it effects the rest of your life honestly if you love each other and really see this relationship as being in for the long haul then wait a few years and both of you get your futures mapped out.

MzNonchalant agony aunt YES...I think you should wait a little longer. Your still young you two have years to get married. You don't need a ring to show your love for each other-you two being together is good enough.

I think with you two being so young, you should wait. Not only that but marriage is a HUGE committment! I don't think a year and 3 months is long enough for you two to be making BIG decisions like this.

When you get married will you two move in together? If so how will the bills be paid? How about the car note [if either you have a car]? Where will you get furniture from? How will groceries be bought?

I mean at the age of 18 wouldn't you want your space and time to explore and just have fun [with your boyfriend Ofcourse]! You don't need marriage for that.
