we can worry as much as we want about this couple but at the end of the day, i don’t think any of us know either of these people personally so we can’t tell them how we feel or what we think they should be doing. if either of them were in it for the wrong reasons, they will regret it later and that’s something they’ll have to deal with.
would i be okay with it if my best friend decided to run off to china to marry someone? probably not, but if she feels it’s the right thing to do no matter what i tell her, i have to respect that decision. as stupid as i might think it is, i still have to be there for her and help her later on whether she’s happy or not.
last thing- who says people aren’t mature at 18? one of my friends got married when she was 17 and is still very happy with her decision 4 years later. there are 14 year olds that have the maturity of a 40 year old (no, i’m not saying 14 year olds should get married!) and there are people that are 50 that still act like they’re 10.
