Average Bride Age

[nclrgirl]

Hi girls! I was lurking on another "bride" forum tonight and was reading average bride ages. Just curious...how old will you BIW be when you get married? I''ll be 27

 

[pichuchy21]

I''ll be 25

 

[taovandel]

I''ll be 26

 

[mjso]

27...wow...the years are really flying by!

 

[DMBFiredancer]

yikes, i feel old.....38...

oh wait....39 once the date arrives

 

[nclrgirl]

OMG DMB! Don''t feel old! I feel young!

 

[Future Mrs Polka Dot]

I will be 26.

 

[FrekeChild]

I'll be 90.

ETA: I'm 26 right now and would like to be married by 28, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Gwyn]

I will be 26

 

[galeteia]

Probably 32 or so.

 

[brooklyngirl]

26

 

[absolut_blonde]

I''m 24 now. I''ll probably be 26. That''s what SO and I agreed on... 25 would be even better, of course!

That is nothing Pandora, I will be 43 and my ''husband'' will be 33. Feel really old now! I was trying dresses on this past Saturday and the girl with an appointment at the same time as me must have been at least 15! Still who cares, I am happy and I am going to enjoy every minute

 

[violet02]

My FI is 33!

I just turned 37, we''re getting married in October.

 

[buttercup80]

28 (well, almost - my b-day is 3 weeks after the wedding. . .}

Now it's me, but I know there are some younger ones on this board. I turned 23 last month.

As far as the average goes, I read that in Canada the average age of a first time bride is 29 (30 in my province). It's probably similar in the States.

I''ll be 26, 2 months short of 27. I think the overall average in the US is right around 27 or 28, but I also think if you break it down by region, certain areas have higher averages (ie., Northeast).

 

[dani13]

I was 29.

 

[sumbride]

I was 30.

 

[Courtneylub]

27

 

[Independent Gal]

I was a titch over 30. So I don't have to tell exactly.

Anchor, the US actually has the lowest (or one of the lowest?) ages at first marriage among developed countries. Check out this handy chart! It says in 2007 average age of women was 25.

[angiety2k]

WOW! I am so young. I will be 23 when we get married. FI will be 25.

 

[sap483]

I will be 25, FI will be 28

 

[ahappygirl]

I was 29. First (and only) marriage.

 

[blissfulbride]

27 and its funny because I was asking my fiance if im going to be an old bride. He said of course not and to be honest is better to be older anyways. Your more sure of what you want and have been out there long enough to not feel like your missing out on anything.

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Guess I''ll be the BIW baby. I am 21 and I''ll be 22.

 

[Sabine]

25

 

[ladyciel]

26, 2 months shy of 27
