That is exactly how it's turning out with my college friends. A few of us got married within a year or two of graduation (my wife and I got married in 2005, 2 years out of school; I was 24, she was just about to turn 24). Then, there was a bit of a break, and now the past year or so it's picked up again. Two of my college friends are getting married next year, and there may be more on the horizon.

I agree that it's tough to put a "right age" on it. Some people are ready in their early 20s, some get married in their 30s or 40s and aren't ready at all.
