My mom married my dad when she was 20 and he was 22, and they're still together but my mom always tells me and my sister that she was way too young when she got married. So there isn't any family pressure coming in!
Butttt my grandmother seems to think I should get married any day now. I dated someone last year (my first love) and my grandmother always used to ask me and my mom if he was "the one" because I was getting older.. I was 18! And then my other grandmother always tells me to avoid the Italian boys (even though she and my grandmother are 100% Italian, so go figure).
I'd ultimately like to be married by the time I'm 23, 24 at the latest. I want to have children when I'm young because my mom had me when she was 33 and I don't wanna be that old!

Haay? I am way past 33 years old and don't have a kid yet... So how is that too old???
The irony is, there is a window of "reproductive opportunity". If you google for the "infertility sites", they charge $10K upwards to isolate human eggs... So, if nunna y'all want to get pregnant until way after 35 and you are like 22 y/o and have not chance of sex, go on ahead and get your eggs saved... You can also sell your eggs for a nice chunk of change--starts at $5K...
