Is 54 Too Old to Get Married?

Ask a Question

I am due to get married this June to my high school sweetheart. I'm hoping to be able to walk down the aisle using one walking stick and intend to wear an ivory trouser suit. I don't think I'm too old but others may disagree. What do you think?

Congratulations and no you are not too old. I met my Partner when we were 57 and we're having the time of our life.

I've never thought of marriage having a age restriction. I can't see the problem if you were 108 to be honest. If you are lucky enough to find your soul mate at any age I think that's good.

I'm married but I don't think it makes a difference it's just a piece of paper or if you do get married make sure your partner's got a lot of money

Pfs it does make a difference. If there was no difference then why would my queer siblings have fought for marriage equality?forget the money, I have heard of plenty gay people who have lost everything when their partner died as they couldn’t get married.

Pfs that's a cynical unpleasant attitude. Making a legal commitment is important, and money doesn't matter as long as you love your partner.

Is there a set age to get married, anyone 18 or above is allowed. I think it’s nice you’re a little older than the normal bride. Shows age is just a number

You are never too old to get married. My mother in law got married for the 2nd time at 50, it was one of the best days ever. There is no age limit on marriage. Congratulations, have a beautiful wedding and a wonderful marriage.

At your age you should know what you want, you have experienced life & long as you love each other, that's all that matters..

Wishing you a marriage full of life, love & laughter.❤️

It's up to you & your Fiance what age you get married, NO one else's business.

My brother in law got married for the first time in his early 60's to a lady over 10 years younger than him with 2 lads..

At the wedding the lads then 19 & 21 gave emotional speeches saying how they absolutely LOVED their new stepdad & how he was the best thing that had happened to their mum & them .The 19 year old was in tears & my brother in law just gave him a lasting hug to comfort him...

My brother in law is absolutely devoted to his family...x

I am thinking why are you even asking. It’s your life and totally up to you what you do. My own personal opinion which shouldn’t make any difference is go for it and have a wonderful wedding day and enjoy the rest of your happily married.

Absolutely not. Happiness and togetherness does not have a age limit and you deserve happiness throughout your life. Hope you enjoy married life as much as I have experienced and you love life to the max.

No, congrats.

It's just people these days may not be fully aware who they're marrying and then it turns into something ugly. A prenup agreement would possibly fix that.
