Is this just my family or did others start before they were married?

I'm sorry to crash your thread! I just wanted to say that in my family getting your silver and your china is a big tradition. On our 16th birthday we get to pick out our silver, and on our 20th, we get to pick out our china. And I'll be 20 on the 26th of this month, so I'm VERY excited.

While I live in DC, my whole family grew up in the South, so now I know where our tradition comes from! Thanks guys!
