Always thought it was funny that when my wife and I got married in 1967, I was 18 and she was 19, and I had to get my parent’s permission and she didn’t have to get hers.
In Alabama at the time, guys needed permission until they were 21, but girls only needed to be 18.
I guess it’s worked, since we celebrated our 51st anniversary this past September.
It used to be common in America for women to get married at 14 or 15 years of age and start families.
Congratulations for your successful marriage.
