In Russia, if you weren't married by 22, it was as if you were destined to be an old maid forever and no one would want to marry you, and my mom got married at 20. Now that I'm 21, whenever we have any family gatherings, the *ahem* older relatives who all got married very young start asking me why I haven't gotten married yet, when am I getting married, and my personal favorite is when they ask my mom how many grandkids she wants (I'm an only child). Gee thanx. I get to see them all on the 2nd, really looking forward to that one.
