She's 19!!

I have a friend who started AA a few months back, which is brilliant and exactly what she needs, but she's at the high-horse stage of proceedings and it's slightly irritating.

I told her that a guy I know was in a car accident and her first question, without knowing him from Adam, is "was it drink related?" Unless he was having a clandestine tipple at his desk before driving home I'm fairly certain it wasn't.

Then I happened to mention that I was looking forward to my Friday night bottle of ale and she immediately told me not to go overboard. *Sigh*

It's getting hard not to tell her to feck off. She was like this when she got married too (after 6 months), she was all knowing about marriage and dishing out advice to me about my 8 year relationship.

She's the best in the world, but sometimes I just want to throttle her, LOL.

Oh! That's very young. Is there a shotgun involved?

Nope!! Shes not mature enough to get married which makes me worry. I know shes going to rush into having children.

I know it’s a massive thing but you’ve gotta let people make their own mistakes and just be there if the fail. Sucks, but its better than losing a friend over it all.

:eek: That is insanity IMO. Is there a reason she's getting married so young?

SarahBeep!

Id never ever say it to her. But still...

And id hate to start my married life knowing mam and dad had paid for it all?? Is that just me??

i'd have said it to her long before it got to this stage

now all you can do is be there

You've a long way to go to 19, Duck :P

Married at nineteen? :eek: Jeez I am twenty one and have zero intention of getting married for another decade at least

As for kids, total no-no for me, regardless of my age.

And my parents paying for it would be a total no-no. If I want a wedding, big or small then I'll pay for it, and if I can't afford the wedding I want, then I'd just wait until I had saved enough to pay for it or else scale it back to something I could afford.

My parents paid for my wedding reception. We had completely planned to pay for everything ourselves but they offered and I was happy to accept. We had the exact same wedding we would have had had we been paying for it ourselves, but I really appreciated it.

In other news, no word since from date guy. Two weeks of almost constant texting and then he just decides to ignore me. They really are from Mars.

Married at 19 :eek: A girl I went to school with got married last year (26) and even then I was shocked!

Hes early 20s.

@Honey; at least you intended to pay and had planned. She hasnt. Theres no way shed be getting married now if she was paying.

that wrecks my head, last time I went on a date I got the same, got on grand, had a good night and then nada, like if someone isnt interested is it really that hard to say it?
I'm not made of glass and going to become a celibate hermit because one girl isnt interested, it happens, you meet people, sometimes you dont click, move on. But to meet someone just completely ignore them afterwards is infuriating, even a text saying look I just dont think there was a spark and it wouldnt work, fine, least you know!

That’s kinda like my cousin. She said no to her Dad paying for her wedding and did it all the way she wanted to. Her Dad went and stuck the 40k :eek: into her bank account the day she got married. Insane amount i know, but it was the wedding she wanted.

As for date guy, feck him. On to the next

Ah but you had intended to pay for it yourself rather than going to mammy and daddy and asking them to pay because you couldn't afford it or didn't want to.

Your parents offered which was very kind of them, but if they hadn't offered, you would have paid yourself (presumably).

Happens to me all the time! I'm giving up on thinking about it.

Productive morning (relatively speaking), felt pretty for the first time in ages thanks to a new top and necklace and went to work with a smile on my face (for the first time in ages) and my sunglasses on.

Exactly! This guy was unbelievably John B. Keane beforehand, so I'm genuinely dying to know what could have happened in two hours in the cinema to put him off so completely - the curiosity is killing me!

No. Maybe that was my mistake, ha ha!

My dad said he'll pay for our wedding.

BUT this is because:

a) He thinks we won't get married, and we have a child, so he is desperate! :P

b) We have said that IF we ever get married, it will be a civil ceremony with just our immediate family and a meal afterwards...so it won't cost him a fortune!

What makes me happy today: Ok sorry to be a baby bore but since yesterday, my little man has started to smile at me when I talk to him (he was a month old yesterday!). Best feeling ever!

Am I the only person who has had school friends getting married for years?? One girl in my class got married the year after school, has 3 kids now. People were engaged in 6th year (only one got married to the guys they were engaged to then and she got divorced at 23), lots married around 24ish, and a ton more are getting married now. Although where I'm from it's only impressive to get married if the guy you're marrying is actually the father of your child...

Would it be wrong to have a snickers for breakfast? I'm gonna say.... no

Need the chocolatey energy to fuel a day of clothes shopping

Both my sisters were engaged at 21 and married by the time they were 23. Always seemed crazy to me that they got married so young. I've been with my OH since I was 19 but I still feel like I've gotten to be a stupid reckless 20something year old

I've one friend who got married when she was 22, she'd been with the guy 3 years and got engaged stortly after she moved down the country to live near him. They had very christian beliefs so didn't live together or have sex til after they were married! (i suppose that explains the marrage rush though ).

Acoshla

It's not so much religious ones in my school that did it, there was and is a very obvious divide in our school/town, you either go to college, move around, etc or you leave school, get a local job and settle down. A lot of us that moved away have gotten a real attitude from the ones that stayed in town, they'd often ask have we any plans to move home, and when we say no in a matter of fact "my life is in X now" kind of way they act like it's a personal insult, that we're saying where we are from isn't good enough for us. There's a general attitude problem/chips on shoulders thing where I'm from anyway.

I have a spuh-litting headache :mad:

Could be something to do with the seven tablespoons of icing I managed to ingest while slicing the cakes for our coffee morning.

The cakes I bought. Yes, BOUGHT!!! I went to Tribeca for wings and bellinis last night instead of baking, so sue me...

Indeed. No-one in my school ever got pregnant while I was there and I was the first by far of my year to get married. Most of them are only starting to get engaged in the last year or so.

One girl in my year (with 150 students) got pregnant in 6th year. I'm 32 and people have really only been starting to get married in the last 4 years really.
