Why do some people feel that this is too young to get married .... there are many of us out there that got married at a young age and are still together to tell the tale

I was with my O/H when I was 18, I married at 22 and 18 years on am very happy who I am with and also proud to of got this far. I also know a couple who were met in the sept married in the march and are still together 17 years later.

Just because being single or waiting until you're into your late 20's to get married works for some it isn't what others should do.

So stu wants to be a millionaire by his mid 20's. Should that stop him getting married ? Just because you get married when you are young doesn't mean any hopes and dreams you have on a personal level stop. Marriage isn't a red stop light to life/living

Whats good for Paul and Helen shouldn't and can't be good for Stu and Michelle. Different horses, different courses.

Well if it's true, she was determined to get her man, I wish Stu all the luck in the world because he is going to need it. Michelle went into the house to get a man, could have been anybody, but she got a bonus in Stu.

No, but getting married, months into a relationship when you're a modern day z-lister is a very good way of making money and staying famous and by their own admissions, they want to be rich (he)and famous (her).

As for those bringing their own happy relationship that started young into the argument, that's lovely for you and you're lucky and you should feel blessed that your young relationship worked out. But to bring in the counter-balance, everyone I know from friends, parents, grandparents, cousins, neighbours who got married aged 24 and under ended in divorce. So it's a two-way street. these days, as a general rule, if you married young and it worked, you're lucky (Emzi wanders off singing the lyrics to Young At Heart by The Bluebells )

Also, if you married young and it worked out, the chances are you fell for each other in every day life, dealing with the issues of everyday life, not in the over-blown, ultra-romantic, artificial environment that is the Big Brother house and the media whirl outside it. I think it was Alex Sibley who said that your emotions are heightened in the BB house and outside it afterwards.

I find myself at odds with those I usually agree with on this issue but I feel the same about Lee and Sophie, Jordan and Peter blah, blah, blah. Love, romance, engagements, marriage are both profitable and very disposable for the modern day celeb.

Who said romance is dead? Me actually.

Having said that, when the premiere invites stop (circa May 2005), Stu is back at college and Michelle is paying the gas bill in a house in glamourous St Albans, if it's still working then, I'll be happy for them and eat my words.

Not any man dearest, but her soulmate ~ I believe it was fate that brought these two young people together and I'm not usually one to fall for all this romanticness.

This is what hanging around with cynical old hacks does for you.....
Romance is dead for crying out loud?

No need to get engaged to make money. You can just pretend you've stabbed your eye out with a pair of scissors.

Good you brought up Alex there

You could actually say the same about his relationship with Mel is it really true love ( I know many an angel wishes it not to be ) One of the reasons I feel he is with her is because she understands what he has been through by appearing on BB but that was an experience that lasted 9 weeks of his life and how can that be an ok reason to be together and S and M isn't... Maybe they feel that link aswell .... that is something I would be interested in if the likes of Sophie and lee, Alex and Mel, Stuart and Michelle as couples have an extra something that helps. Is there a common link? Birds of a feather and all that.

Who said romance is dead? Me actually......

I think you took a bl**dy great big axe and chopped its head off Emzi

If you believe that you will believe anything.

to be honest who cares what people think they are happy together good luck to them

We shall see, as I said months ago, Michelle will do anything to become famous. Michelle is 'infamous', she will never be famous.

you have to be famous to be infamous, it's what the word implies, if you were not famous you could never be infamous,

Whatever, she'll still never be famous.

Well, I've heard of her!

Actually, she is :

Merriam-Webster :

Main Entry: fa·mous

a : widely known
b : honored for achievement

FAMOUS implies little more than the fact of being, sometimes briefly, widely and popularly known <a famous actress>.

Michelle certainly meets those criteria .....

I prefer this from the Concise English Dictionary:

she is famous, just by being on Big Brother they are all famous, until the next lot come around, only a few stay in the public eye each year.

according to Michelle's mum she's not getting married just yet.

She says they aren't getting married yet

Alex and BB1 Mel? When did that happen?

The People story says:
Surely that's not right.

And the whole story seems to be based on what one "friend" ./ "pal" said.

BTW, why has the forum changed the way our messages are turned into HTML so that it's so much harder to avoid an extra blank line after a quote?

According to the icnewcastle article:

"She is starring on the Friday Night Project on Channel 4 and she has got other things lined up"

Have to look out for that.

Hi Mabelle, how are you?

I'm good thanks Sian. How are you?

I hope Michelle will be on this show. Should be good.

Just seen Michelle on Julie Birchall's programme about chavs on Sky One. It's OK, Julie likes Michelle, and is a proud chav herself.

Some girls want to snare a mega rich footballer but Mel aimed higher, she was after a Housing Association Rent Collector.

.....And some girls have to resort to tacky tabloid underwear shoots time and time and time again while other girls are smart and secure enough to just have relationships without gushing to the media about it and selling out in their skimpy pants. :sleep:

I think someone should made Ana Matronic a saint!!
