When my husband and I got engaged, I was 21 and a senior in college; he was 22 and a first-year grad student. When we got married, I was 23 and he was 24. I'd met the love of my life and I saw no reason to wait until I was 25 or 30 or some other arbitrary age.
You get married when it's "right". You and your partner want to spend the rest of your lives together, and you're mature enough to make that decision. You're on the same page with major decisions like careers, finances, and children. Just because you haven't turned 25 (or whatever) yet is no reason to postpone getting married.
I feel the same way about the idea of "having" to get married by a certain age. If you haven't met someone you want to spend the rest of your life with - don't just marry some random person just so you can say you got married by age 30 or whatever - you probably won't have a very happy marriage.
Some people meet the right person when they're young; others when they're older; and others never do. C'est la vie.
