what’s the youngest age that someone you knew got engaged? (self.asklemmy)

as like a “teenage engagement” sort of thing, since it wasn’t a legal thing and they could always break up if they didn’t work out, a freshman (15f) and junior (17m) at my high school agreed to get engaged.

I recently got engaged to my fiancé at age 18.

No, they were just sweet on each other.

Totally fucking adorable tbh. The parents supposedly started out thinking it was one of those puppy love crush situations, and went with it. By the time they all realized the kids were serious, they had also shown they were willing to obey rules around it, so the parents just shrugged and let it be. Again, that's supposedly; I didn't know either of them outside of school beyond the occasional birthday party with the girl back before that.
