What age did you get engaged/married?

I read an article in the paper recently stating that the average marriage age since the 1970s has risen for both men and women (the research was carried out in the UK - see below) and it made me think what the average age of marriage in Pakistani culture is these days. I know for my mum’s generation it was quite normal for girls to get married at 15-16, sometimes even younger. But looking at pictures of modern brides (just check the ‘BRIDAL PICS’ thread) women seem to be a lot older these days.

So, what age did you get engaged, and what age did you get married? And how old was your husband for both events?

I’ll start

Engaged: bride: 24; groom; 27
Married: pending…

Engaged: Bride: 24; Groom: 29
Married: Bride: 24 & a month older; Groom: 29 & a month older
