Well I dont feel crazy at all for doing this, but I am curious on some feed back. I've been best friends with this girl for years even before we got together. I met her when she was 14. She was absolutly crazy. She hasnt lived at home since then, either with friends or her previous fiancee. I've watched her mature to the point where I feel she is her own woman, not just a girl. Shes gotten through everything on her own, with no help from anyone. Has had many ****ty relationships through out (not on her part). im 23, and I feel shes more mature then I am. She got her g.e.d, had her own appartment (in virginia, we live in new york), her license, and is currently attending college and working full time. Shes not the crazy, wild girl I knew, shes the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I asked her 2marry me last week and I honestly can say I have never seen her this happy, even when the last guy asked her to marry him. We dont plan on getting married until we are finished with school, she'll be 22 and I will be 25. Crazy am I? I dunno a few of my friends think I am. But I dont feel that age designates if you are an adult or not, I dont picture her as some 19yr old girl im dating. I see her as the woman who is my other half.

What do you guys think? Did I act to soon? Still have 2 years before we plan on getting married.

despite what many other posters will probably come on and tell you, age has NOTHING to do with it.
i've known folks who are more mature at 20, than others i know at 50.

it's your love, and your attitude will decide if it works.

good luck, and congratulations.

A good rule to follow, if you have to ask someone if you are making a wise choice, you probably aren't.

I don't think you're nuts, but I do think it's a good idea that you are waiting until you are done with school before you tie the knot.

It sounds to me like you are doing it for all the right reasons.

Congrats

I could never do it, personally. Your 20's are a time when you should go out and meet new people.
