I am just curious how soon after their parents wedding the first borns who post here were born. I am curious because I have always wondered how much of an oddity I am being born exactly 9 months after my parents wedding.(Oddly enough, my uncle was also born 9 months after my grandparents wedding) Basically, I was wondering how common this occurance is?

I'm a first born child. I was born 3 years and 5 months after my parents wedding. My dads mother, a close minded member of the Church of Christ accused my sweet Catholic mom of being "barren", which must have hit a nerve with mama, because she ended up having 4 kids in 3 years and 11 months. :eek:

I guess that shut granny right up. :D

Oh, and my first born was born 11 months after my wedding, however unlike mama, I wasn't a...nevermind. ;)

Same here.

And here, I think. It was a rough patch for my parents, so they don't talk about it much.

-2 years, so my dad tried to say on their anniversary this year.

My parents anniversary is 6 days after my birthday. This year I turned 32 and on their anniversary he tried to say it was their 30th. I was just mad I didn't make it into the pics.

I came along about 5 or 6 years after my parents got married. The wife and I started trying this month after being married nearly 4 years.

Getting married just because of a pregnancy apparently ain't so smart, either.

A lot of people still do that today, and I don't think the shotgun wedding is extinct.

no...while i'll agree its not the best reason to get married, its also not the worst

I guess it all depends on the couple. Teenagers getting married is probably a bad idea no matter what, but if a baby pushes a couple that's already been together for a long time to get married it could work out.

agreed, but when a young man feels the need to be responsible for his creation, thats a plus over the many more who run from it full speed

Not getting married is not the same thing as running away. The important thing is that the father supports to child, right. Adding an unplanned wedding to an unplanned pregnancy doesn't seem like a recipe for marital or parental bliss.

Anyone can make a baby and throw money, but it takes a special person to be a Daddy.

Both. Too many people worry more about a marriage certificate than what it's supposed to represent. If a couple acts married, then who cares if they have a piece of paper to prove it? In the case of shotgun weddings, I would think that adding the stress of a marriage to the stress of having a kid would make a father more likely to run away from the whole situation. Furthermore, getting married doesn't automatically make you Dad of the Year. Husband and father are two seperate concepts.
