It's fair to say that there is no right or wrong age to get married. What you have to ask is, is marriage the right thing for YOU? Do you really want to tie yourself for what SHOULD be, the rest of your life? A lot happens in even a year and you never know who or what is round the corner.
Marriage should be the final building block of a strong, recipricol relationship that has seen you become best friends. Only then, will you be sure you want to spend your entire lives together.
Many people jump into marriage young and eager not realising what a big commitment it is and without knowing what they really want from it. It's a brutal fact that many don't last five minutes. Think of all the money wasted on ceremonies/receptions. Or how your friends/family will view you if
you don't make a good go of it.
So although I say there is no right or wrong age, the more mature you are the better you understand your desires and the decisions you make because of them.
If it' a carefully considered decision then it may be the right move for you, just don't jump in.

For me there is no really right age to get married. As long as you both ready for facing and living the married life. Then go!. Im already 27 and my bf is 23 we still have to enjoy each other's company and see what would be next. No, proposal yet.
