Too young for engagement?

[mummytobemaybe]

My boyfriend and I have been together 6 months and love eachother very dearly, we both have the same life goals and values and both want to get married and have children. We have spoken about marriage and how we want the ceremony to be and it was all light hearted. Until a few days ago he said how he knew I'd always wanted to be proposed to at Easter and he said if we are still together by next Easter (2018) then he will propose.
We both see eachother as being 'the one'.
By the time of engagement I will be 20 and he 21. Is this too soon and too young?

It can go either way. DH and I met first term of university, together ever since. But didn't get engage until we had been together 5 years and lived together for 18 months. We got married after 7 years and had DS at 10 years.

We have friends who met same time as us, but where we grew up together, they grew apart and divorced. So glad we waited to get married

Way too much, too soon & too young.

Where's the fire?

Just enjoy your life without putting pressure on the relationship. If you feel the same in 5 years, then maybe go for it

Just get married and have babies with interesting and enjoyable names.

There's always divorce if it doesn't work out.

You sound incredibly immature, nothing to do with your age (whatever that is).

Just enjoy the honeymoon period, then enjoy the comfort and deeper love that comes after the honeymoon period, finish uni, then decide if you want to get married.

You are 19, have been going out for 6 months, are moving to different universities shortly .... and... talking about getting married and being engaged and looking for baby names?

Troll!

My husband and I got engaged after 5 months together. We hadn't known each other previous to our relationship. we married a year later both at the age of 22. We are about to celebrate our sixteenth wedding anniversary. It does and can work, but J agree with PPs about 'planning to get engaged' and about the worrying 'if we're still together he will propose' comment. Be sure of each other, this is about a MARRIAGE, not a wedding.

Not automatically too young, but from what you say it sounds way too early for your current situation.

I don't get the rush to be engaged as if it's 'relationship+'. If you're engaged you are looking to marriage as the next step in a reasonable time frame.

The fact you've been together so little time and are having to ask people online if it's OK suggests to me that you're seeking reassurance and validation.
The immaturity posters are talking about OP is that you've asked if you're too young and when people have explained, your response is 'you don't understand'. Sort of, why ask if you're just wanting to be told you're right.

Doesnt actually matter how old you are, what does matter though is you are both going off to basically live separate lives soon and whilst you may come back to each other even more madly in love than you left, it is more likely that you will both grow into completely different people during that time, and at the very least figure out that there are more things or different things that you want from your life by that point.
It would be much better to postpone any engagement until after you complete uni, if you are meant to be uni won't stop this from happening and neither will waiting to get married.

I married the guy I was with at 19. Together 13 years, ultimate pos lol that I would never have seen back then (and didn't, obviously lol). We met at uni but it is worth considering the change uni will have on your relationship.

People and couples are all different. I met my soulmate at uni, who I'm now with, but you do change a lot over your 20's imho. Some people meet the love of their life at 15 and are together forever but the fact you're even considering not being together because of uni would suggest this may not be it. If it were for life you'd both be thinking that no uni or distance would stop you being together.

How do your baby making plans fit in to your engagement plans next Easter?
