I am getting married!!!

I would say, Congratulations!
And, speaking as a mom, I'd say, be careful!
Everyone gets married when they feel it's right.
If the time is right, then I'd say, go for it!

But life and marriage is not a fairy tale, so go in
with your eyes open.

Getting married is the easy part.
But then comes the living together part and adjusting
to the other person and then come the kids and mortgages and such.

Be sure you have the right education to support a family.
A job may not last, but education will help you sail through life
and be there for you after a job falls through.
I'd say to the girlfriend, finish nursing school.

There's a big demand for registered nurses all over.
It pays really good and the work is steady, no matter
what state you live in.

You'll thank your lucky stars that you have a job that
pays so well as RN, when you have kids and the bills start piling up!

That's what I'd say!
Good question.

The first thing I would do is let you know I would like to talk to you and the second thing I would do is arrange for the talk to be held away from any possible chance of intruption, as a phone or company coming by. I would let you know I am only there for your best intetest and nothing more. I would never demand or even strongly suggest that marriage was a bad idea. I would in fact touch on the fact that marriage is a very normal and wonderful approach to life however I would remind you that the few minutes spent saying I do is ideally supposed to be a life time commitment. I would talk about how this would affect your relationship with yourself, parents, and the possibility of children. I'd go over the pros and cons and try to incourage you in the path that I would think is in your best interest.

I'd suggest you wait a few more years. 19 is pretty young in my opinion. Just because you have a good job and hardly any bills does not mean you should jump the gun and get married.

My advice would be to go ahead and set the date for about 5 years from now when both of you are a little more mature....when she is done with school....and when you both are past the hormonal stage! Also...take that time to save up for a house etc so by the time you are married you are stable financially and better able to provide a good life for the woman you love.

I almost fell over, as know your married. I would tell them congrats on their upcoming wedding. It sounds like they are better prepared than some young couples. Its not easy to get married at any age and stay married, as many of my friends struggle with bills, so waiting until you have lots of money may never happen.

I know we didn't have a lot of money, but you make do with the money you have for your bills. My wedding was very small and we didn't have a honeymoon like some of my friends, but we have been together almost 30 years.

I would sit you down and help you look at your financial situation because there is going to be a lot more money required to support an entire household. I would also tell you that 19 is to young to marry but it is your choice and if you feel that is the right one for you then, can i make the wedding cake? I would also advise the young lady not to quit school because an education is always helpful even if you plan to be a stay at home Mom later.

I would wait to marry your girlfriend until she graduates from college. Otherwise, her school tuition will be your responsibility.

I'd say to wait until your girlfriend is out of school until you get married. I'd also encourage you to get out of your mom's house and into an apartment or house of your own, so you can see what it is to budget and live on the money you make. You might make decent enough money, but most people really don't have any clue how to use it and how to budget until they're forced to do it.

Since money is usually the biggest source of arguments in relationships, you'll learn how to manage the money you alone are making and the addition of your future wife's salary will be there to make things easier, in the future. You won't be fighting over whether you want or need that $90/month cable package, because you'll already know what you can and can't afford for having it.

I'd also say congrats to your girlfriend for choosing such a great career and many good wishes to her and her success. More congrats on thinking seriously about a long term relationship, rather than a quick fling.

I would say to you that you will probably do what you choose regardless of what I have to say. You need to think of what it will take to help you girlfriend stay in school, as that is her future and part of yours as well. I know people who married that young, without having trouble. I would suggest to you that you look into what kind of housing you can get. Have you prepare a tentative grocery list, and look at other things that will play into what will be required to establish your own household. If you argue with people like that then you push them in the direction you do not want them to go.

I would advise you to wait to get married until you save up several thousand dollars to get you started in life. Money troubles add stress to marriage and if you have money in the bank then you'll have fewer problems.
