Thinking about couples I know who got married in the last year or two, one was in their 20s (and they are already divorced) and the other 3 were in their 50s.

It is just folks I know, or are there a lot of people getting married in that age bracket? I think I might like to do so when I get to that age, and maybe I am not so weird?

Oh, no! I was just thinking, 'Thank gawd for the edit function.' Then I saw it doesn't work on titles. How embarrassing.

I think it is far more common to see marriages in the 20's and 30's age range, but they certainly do not hold exclusive rights on it either.

LOL. Based on my anecdotal experience people in their 50s are not interested especially if married before and the desire diminishes with multi marriages.

I've been invited to a few weddings over the past 2 years, for couples in their 50s.

Mostly, they're divorcees and windows/widowers, but I've also seen 2 couples where neither had been married before.

I know a lovely couple in their early 50's who just got engaged this weekend!

Neither have been married before and they have been together about 8 years.

The vast majority of these would be 2nd or 3rd marriages. I think that's sweet.

My mother, in her 50s, married a man (also in his 50s) and it was probably the only truly happy time in her life.

ummm...Poople????

I think many people in this age bracket do get married. Like the poster above mentioned it may be after a previous marriage(s) and also if there are kids they are older and likely living on their own. Allowing the parents more time to date, socialize and marry. They are mature and usually settled and not playing games.
