  • I don't think it will last because we don't even know if they live together. If they live together it will probibly last a while and if they don't it will last longer. Then they won't be arguing abought how the furniture goes lol. From Tanner

  • Those kids have no chance in lasting past a year. when you are 13, 14 you haven't even experiencd life and you are still in school and are going threw a time in life when you are matureing and feeling alot of different feelings you have never felt befor. You wouldn't no who you wanted to spend the rest of your life with at the age you are going threw Junior High.I have one question for those kids- Are you sure you are ready for this?

  • Hi!
    I have some questions for the newlyweds. Here they are:
    1. What inspired you guys to get married?

    2. Was your wedding beautiful just like you dreamed it would be?

    3. What type of transportation did you use to get to your wedding?

    4. Did your Dad/Mom walk you down the aisle just like in the movies?

    5. Do you live together?

    Thanks for your time!
    Anna

  • Ok, there are a lot of different ages for married but 13 and 14. WOW!!! thats crazy. Why would anyone want to get married at the age of 13 or 14.

  • Hey,
    Where did you get the idea to post this it is sooo funny. That is me like getting married to someone 1 year older then me!!! Wow I don't even think that I would love them enough to get married to them. that would be scary. Did they actually hold a cermony for them and where would she get a dress that she could wear for her wedding??? I would rather wait till I was the age that I found someone who I can live with and not fight with for the rest of my life. AHHHHH that is soo crazy and funny at the same time. You should find out if they last and post another one of them on an update. hehehe. bye bye for now Becky.

  • I don't think It is a very good idea to get married at age 13 and 14. I would never do that, that's for sure. I is just way too young for someone to get married

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at Friday, December 09, 2005 9:33:00 AM  

  • Yeah..13 and 14 are pretty young ages to get married. I think they should've taken a little bit more time to think over their desision. Like...5 or 6 years haha. Well..I don't know how long it will alst because I don't know how happy they are together and w/e

  • WEll we think that this marrige lasting will depend on how good the two lovers get along. They must have loved eachother to get married, but being underage to live alone, is pretty tough. Are thye living with thier parents? If they last good for them if they break up its probably their own fault because they were way too young.

  • I think that something must have happened to the girl to make them want to or have to get married, but there has to be some reason or it could be for attention, i dont know whatever they have a whole life to live for and they are not going to last a week!!

  • The only reason I could see that a 13 and 14 year old would REALLY want to get married is if the girl was pregnant.

    Perhaps they feel that getting married is the best way to take care of the baby. Maybe they think that is the adult thing to do or maybe the parents convinced them to get married.

    I believe however that if the reason for marriage was a baby. That the girl should have the baby with the guy there and the baby should be adopted out to parents old enough to REALLY give the baby a chance at a good life

  • Hey, I think that the couple should have waited a while. At least till they are more muture and more finacially in their life. That boy is not mature enough to have a kid or even get a job. I wonder if they went to Mickey D's(McDonalds)for their honeymoon? They are probably living with their mother. You need to atleast be 18 or older.

  • I dont think it will last long. Because if there just 13 & 14 they dont even know what they want. I dought it will even last 6 months.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at Wednesday, December 14, 2005 8:09:00 AM  

  • I don't think that their marrige will last long because as they grow older then they will probably grow apart and not love eachother like they did when they got married.

  • I don't think its right unless they have been together for a while!! It won't be very sucessful. They are to young and probally don't even understand what they are getting themselves into!! They should just wait a few years until they REALLY know each other then THINK about getting married! I think you should finish school, go to collage, party, then get married, and if they want kids...then have them!!

  • Teenagers getting married??? What has come of this world!? You might fall in love with somebody but getting MARRIED!? That's stupid! How is he going to support a family? What if she has a baby, is he going to support it? KIDS think they're sooooo ready to have sex or get married, thay just rush into things, but what they don't realize is that they are taking away a BIG part of their childhood. They're in such a big hurry to grow up that they miss being a kid. They think being an adult is so easy, but it's not!!! You have to get a job, buy a house, pay the bills,support a family,ETC.,ETC.,ETC. So to sum it up, Imost DEFINITELY disagree with those teens getting married! The marriage probably won't even last long. Then when they get a divorce, the time they were married was just wasted. There's a first time for everything: first kiss, first marriage..., but now all of their "firsts" are gone, and they will NEVER get them back. Time badly wasted!!! There are consequences for everything, some good some bad. I have a feeling that the KIDS are about to get a rude awakening!!!

  • I think the chances of the marriage lasting are remote. I mean they are not mature enough yet. How are they going to support their kids? You can not support your kid or kids and stay in school. If you think you can do it than good luck to you. That is what I think.

  • a few questions I would like to ask would be:

    1.How would he support his family?
    2.Where do they live?
    3.Did both their parents approve?
    4.Who paid for the wedding?

  • hey yeah im not sure that the marriage will last, because the people are just a wee bit too young. I wander how their parents let them go throught with getting married.well i dont know what to say but i just dont think that this marriage will last very long. if it does, that means that they must love eachother very much or something. if it doesnt then they dont love eachother and they shoutd have figured out that they didnt love them and not have gotten married.

  • I think it is really wrong. I also have some questions did your parents buy you ice cream after the weeding? Did they hold your hand on the way there? One of my friends got married and she admitted that it is hard going through that at such a young age. Her husband thought she was cheating on him but she wasn’t and she came home and found him on the couch with another girl and on the counter was his ring on her picture up side down. I know that I would not want to go through that at such a young age. They are going to fall apart because he can’t support a baby if they have one. He or she probably don’t have a job. Where do they live? Does their parents dive them to school. Anyways that’s what I think.

  • There is NO chance of there being a successful marriage! They would have to live in their parents house, and who knows if their parents are even willing to talk to them! They are probably mad that their kid is throwing their life away! And what about money? He's too young to work, and so is she! The best job they could get is picking up trash off the side of the road. Way to go! What about kids? Do they honestly think they can support kids? They will need toys, food, and so much more! Toys can get expensive, especially when you are only 13 and 14! What will they do, go to McDonald's everyday so their kids can play in the playplace? She might even have an abortion which is VERY bad in my opinion! What about transportation? I KNOW they won't have enough money to buy a car! They would have to rob a bank or something! And again I say, way to go! They're ruining their life. Also, there is still the fact that they will have to pay for their child to go to school! Unless their parents will be willing to help out, but again, who knows if the parents are even speaking to them? Really, it's just a big disaster.

  • Hi hmmm I have a question why is getting married legal at the age of thirteen. You know what I blame the parents because they are the ones who have to sign a form to say that they can get married. So if the kids marriage crashes and burns guess who paying for the divorse the parents. So its just goes to shows you should wait till your old enough to support a family before you even think about getting MARRIED.

  • I think that if someone is so incredibly self confident about being in love at such an impractical age, then they are out of thier mind!! the percentage of maturity in those kids is probably extremely low, and the girl more than likley has a junior high crush wich in my perspective, are completely stupid and uncalled for at such a unsuitable age. I do though have one question for them and here it is-

    WHAT WER YA THINKIN?!

  • what does your parent think about this?

    where are you gonna live?

    CONGRATULATIONS

  • Their marriage probably will not last long because people change. Their interests will change and they'll eventually grow tired of each other. So, why did you get married so young? Just remember that you may love him now, but tomorrow the can be your worst enemy.
