Oh, and did I mention the wedding is in Tuscaloosa?
Most girls I knew like this demanded that their hubby-to-be paid for the Princess wedding that they had dreamed of since 5. Who is paying for the wedding?
Are her parents shirking their responsibility because they don't want a wedding either?
What are her career plans?
Nurse is correct. You need to step up and take care of the thread you started.

He is 23. 24 in May. Does not have what I would consider a "permanent" job at the moment, despite his college degree. At last check, she has no job.
F that haters. I think you're right. Way too young.

I’m late to this thread but why don’t you just sleep with her. He won’t marry her and you’ll be out of his life and not able to control his decisions

24 is young, and if I had any advise I’d say 28-35 is a good age for marriage, but perhaps the biggest stumbling block than the age, and besides the mental issue red flag and kooky granola parents, is the real mental issue most young people get into marriage thinking in the first place, that it’s not going to get tough and won’t require a shite ton of sacrifice and effort to make it work. That love feelings bullshite is their real danger, and they base everything off that feeling instead of coming to grips with the fact that real love is a building, and marriage is a construction project. Lots of work goes into really building love, and that’s why when the fluttering feelings go, and we all know they do, so goes the marriage because it was based on silly shite instead of practical thinking and self sacrifice.
If i could, I’d like to kick the creator of Cinderella and every other fairy tale writer square in the nuts for filling people’s heads with all that nonsense, as well as anyone involved in these chick flicks that have women looking for all the wrong shite, and when it doesn’t meet their ridiculous expectations, they bail to find it elsewhere. That’s a long and disappointing road to nowhere.

I cannot even begin to say how damn lucky I am that the relationship with my highschool and college sweetheart fell through and ended. I thought at the time my life would be over if I didn’t marry that girl. Looking back, we wouldn’t have made 5 years.

Was at a Christmas party this weekend, and a couple had recently gotten engaged because " It seemed like the next step"... I'm single but this strategy doesn't sound very smart .

There’s a reason the Catholic Church put in a pseudo express lane for annulments. I took advantage of it and my second wife and I are doing just fine.
Posted on 12/18/17 at 9:51 pm to Slippy
My parents thought the same thing.
We've been married for 4 decades and I hardly ever speak to my parents.
In short, it's his decision. If it comes down to you or her, it'll probably be her so shut up and support him if it falls apart.

Totally agree. So far, it’s doubts about earnings and some immaturity. I get the concern, but he’s pushing his boy away....

Slippy, let the boy do what he thinks he has to. It is his life to live. My wife and I were married at 22 and 19 y/o. Still married 36 years later. We we're both in college and lived off of peanut butter and soup. It was tough but taught us so much. I am still crushing on that little lady, I have been blessed. Point is, you have no idea if they are too young and if she is wrong for him. Love is eternal, that may be them as well. Good luck and God bless all of you....

To quote my father “your ruining your life!”
17 years, three beautiful boys, two awesome careers, and mounds of trust later and my folks are all but out of our lives. Complete POS.
In laws took over the grand parenting role very well;)

Yep. Let the kid live his life. Interfering will only create division
