As I said, to young (IMO). That said, he's a grown man and can do as he wishes. I sincerely hope he beats the odds
I do have to ask, why did you have to drive 400 mikes to reserve a restaurant AFTER the wedding dinner? I'm assuming everyone will have eaten and not sure why you would need a restaurant afterwards?

It feels like there is a lot of age bias on this forum as of late. What determines whether someone is too young or not? I have had more life experiences than most people. If two people are in love and Fred is happy, why rain on his parade?

I'm not sure what your life experience has to do with anything? I do find it funny though that if you have so much life experience, why you fret over your boyfriend going out for a bachelor party?
Sincere not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just going off statistics for today's modern family.

Instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner there is no rehearsal. The wedding will be a late afternoon affair for close family and friends. Those are who we will be feeding. We drove to see the restaurant and meet the manager who we had contacted by the internet. We are not familiar with Huntsville and wanted to be assured we had made a good choice. We also got to familiarize ourselves with the venue of the wedding and the reception the day after the wedding. As I said nothing traditional. I married at 24 and celebrate 31 years of marriage this June, Hopefully we have been a good example.
I will not call it age bias as much as precautionary. Life experiences can jade your outlook and some of us have a great deal of experiences we do not wish we had in our past. I have some friends I went to school with who married when they were around 17 who are still married. It is all about love and commitment.
I agree with you entirely Fred. What I don't agree with is someone coming in and saying that your son is too young and in turn saying I am too young. It is a happy and beautiful occasion and I suppose that is all that matters. The opinions from some person on the internet I don't even know shouldn't matter at all
I think I'm just tired and a little overwhelmed at the moment, it is making me a little more irritable than usual haha.

If there was a "minimum age", I'd guess at least 30 now, but some people will most likely get a divorce no matter what age they are just due to the person they've become.
Currently I'm in Oklahoma for work, staying at a hotel on business. The person I was 25 years ago if I were married? Forget it, I'd probably get myself into trouble. Not now though because I realize what I had and what I now have. That comes from living life, and thankfully I wasn't married when I made those mistakes.
Take Matilde's beau going out on a bachelor party. Experience tells me that going out drinking with boys and ending up at a strip club only increases the chances that you may do something stupid, so I would never do it. I speak from experience LMAO (even tonight, grown men that I do business with will go out "bar hopping" even though they are married...experience tells me nothing good can come of it).
For the record, only married once, happily, going on 12 years.
Today's couples face a lot more pressures than in the past.
Yes, people can get married and stay married, but the statistics make that a longer shot say compared to 30 years ago (due to various variables that have changed in the "social climate" IMO).
The only thing Fred cab do is support his son due to his love, and I would do the same thing.
That said, I give the same advice to my boys my father gave me... Live life, travel the world, don't be afraid of women, but when your ready to settle down, make it only one time. My mother didn't marry until she was in her early 30's and had a career. She gave up that career for me and stayed married for over 40 years until she died. She gave me the same advice my father gave me ( except for marrying a woman better than me, which I did as well lol )
I could never understand as a young man why my mother would let my father stay in France when he was single and they dated "off and on", particularly after seeing the 8 mm film my father took of all the women over there, but now older, I completely understand.

I agree the divorve rate is high..I think it is more of how we value marriage though which doesn't necessarily mature with age.
Many people have been married multiple times while being older than 30.
Others get married one time while young and stay married.

First thing I came across, don't know it's validity, but funny enough, notice how the rate drops off at age 30? LMAO I guess I should consider myself lucky that I got married at 37 instead of like I wanted to the first time around 14 years earlier (which I know would of ended in divorce due to the person I was at the time) .

Good link it appears as if the US isnt the only one with problems in regard to failed marriages.
I often see people get married in an affort to save a failing relationship..just extends the agony and complicates a clean break when they decide to end it.
