Getting Married Young- Why?

[Smile_Awhile]

I'm sure there's a thread somewhere buried on this, but I couldn't find it... sorry!

I'm 20 years old- and I'm starting to hit the age where it seems like people are seriously considering getting engaged/married. In the past four presidents of my chapter, three have been engaged during their presidency. I know of three or four couples who recently got married after graduating from college. It seems to be a trend of my university, in particular (for some unknown reason!).

Another one of my good friends (and sisters) is always talking about how it seems like we all marry so young around here! She has a total point- getting married at 22 has always seemed young to me, until I'm actually getting closer to that age. Now, I could see myself making that decision (provided that my boyfriend and I are still together in about a year). It does seem so young... but if you find the person, why wait? I feel like I've grown up a lot in the past three years, and I know that I'm going to continue to feel that way for the next few years- so when am I "grown up" enough to consider marriage? I've asked myself that a lot in the past year.

So- what are your thoughts? What age is "right"? Yes, I know this varies from person to person, but I want some more opinions.
