Marriage is For ADULTS, people...

If you're not old enough to drink at your wedding, you shouldn't be getting married--you're WAY too young. I don't care if you drink or not. If it's illegal for you to do basic things that will become legally available to you later in life, you're too effing young to get married. You're being young and dumb. No, you DON'T know what love is, and no you DON'T know what you want out of life or even who exactly you are. Don't be stupid.

With the above being said, I believe that the Four Season Rule should always be followed at LEAST. Always. If not more. (The Four Season Rule: you must date the person for at least four consecutive seasons before getting married. The only seasons that count are Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. No exceptions.) Getting engaged and married in less than that amount of time is irresponsible and unreasonable. If you love each other enough and in the right way, marriage can wait. Your relationship should be able to survive any amount of time. If you feel the need to get married in a shorter amount of time, you're probably getting married for the wrong reason(s). Admit it.
