See, I've kinda gotten this from both corners. Because my fiance and I have dated for 6.5 years and counting, we got the "when ye gettin maaaaaaaaaaaried" from all the matriarchs for pretty much the last 3 years.

Then I tell people here in Scotland that I'm getting married at 23, and the go, "wow, you're so young! Why are you getting married?". Because it's not really a "thing" here to get married young. Yeah people do it, but it isn't like it is back home. Fewer people are getting married period because you've got civil partnership and domestic partnership and etc and you get a lot of the social benefits without having to be married (free healthcare is nation wide (I *heart* the NHS!), couples have an expectation of privacy in communication (although the protection is more solid in the case of marriage) etc.



Basically, opinions are like...you know the rest.
