MTV's Engaged & Underage - Page 3

I can't remember which episode it was, but I remember one where the mother asked her daughter if she was getting married just to have sex. The daughter admitted that sex was a big part of it. I think if I was that mother, I would have bought her a gigantic box of condoms and told her to have at it, but cancel the wedding.

Better them than me. That's all I can say.

After my mother and I had a conversation about how marriage is really supposed to be, I changed my mind.

Anybody catch last week's episode? I personally think gtting married just because you're pregnant is a bad idea.

I caught the "afternoon sneak" of the new episode (MTV shows the new episodes of The Hills & this show at 4:30). I'm surprised that some of the couples have changed since the show. I was disappointed that they only covered a few of the couples though.

There was the one couple (Lauren & David) where the mom was super overprotective of her son. Since the show, the two have gone on tour with "To Write Love on Her Arms" (a non profit group that tries to help people coping with depression). I think that's cool, even though they live in an RV with 5 other people. Then there was Jen & Jake (the army guy). Surprisingly, she says they don't fight at all since they moved back to Hawaii. Good for them. Chantel & Jacob (Christian couple-the girl admitted that sex was a big reason for getting married) now live in a trailer. That's awesome. Just kidding.

I personally couldn't get married at the age that some of these people are. When I get married, I want to be able to have a nice wedding, go on a nice honeymoon, and buy a home soon after. Those things are hard to do when you're fresh out of HS. Heck, they're hard to do sometimes when the couple are both college grads.

I wasn't too impressed with the episode at all.

Why didn't they give updates on the KY-trashy couple or the guy (my personal favorite) who was really close with his brothers and played the guitar for his wife? Those were really the only two I wanted to hear updates on!

New episodes of this trainwreck start next week!

on the utah episode where the guy's family could not attend the ceremony at the temple, what was the name of the song that they played during the ring ceremony? it went something like: "this is our moment, let it shine, let it shine......" my friend is looking for a mother/son dance song for his wedding.

How about that last couple (I think they were Kyle & Krystal)?

The bride was bisexual and was talking to her mom about how she has had sex with all of her bridesmaids and one of Kyle's groomsmen. Ew. Since Kyle was uneasy about her bisexuality, they agreed that she wouldn't sleep with girls anymore unless he was there to watch.

There was another interesting couple this season, Erica & Josh. Erica was a pretty Latina model and Josh was an emo-type guy. He doesn't drink and Erica does. It seems like he really gets upset when she drinks. I personally think they'll be divorced in a year or so.

People from my hometown get married that young alllll the time. Sometimes, it is those Christian teens who've vowed to wait and rush to the altar...sometimes, it's girls who get pregnant and decide to marry their baby's daddy...but sometimes, it's just the normal thing to do for these kids because they're already finished with their education or they're in the military. Being in a low-income environment or being in a military family sometimes instills completely different goals in people than those of us who were raised with the mindset that we were going to go to college (although, I myself am married at the age of 20...I'm still in school though!). I've never seen the show but it seems interesting...but I'd be willing to bet that 75% of the people on the show are in the not-planning-to-go-to-college-for-whatever-reason category.

For those interested, MTV is doing an update show on Saturday called "Engaged & Underage Live" which will culminate in a live wedding in Times Square.

It's going to be interesting to see what's up with some of the couples.

A good 30% of the people I graduated with are married...and it hasn't been so long.

I don't know, maybe it's Arkansas? I went to four of my good friends weddings after the first two months of summer vacation after my senior year.

KSUViolet06 · #44 07-31-2008, 12:37 AM

No I don't think it's just where you live. I'll agree with you that the beginning senior year of college was the big time for everyone to get engaged, with most of the weddings taking place the summer after graduation. About half of my friends are engaged or married, and most of us are in the 22-25 range (college seniors, recent grads, and grad students).

I believe the thing with the Mormon temples is that once it has been blessed, if they're not of the Mormon faith, they're not allowed in. I remember while living in AZ, they opened up the temple in Snowflake and for a few days anyone was allowed to walk inside and see, but once it was blessed, only Mormons were allowed in.

I'll double check...my best friend is Mormon and lives in AZ, right in Mesa not too far from the temple there!
