I am sorry, I think it is inappropriate for folks to be saying this, though if you asked for advice, at least that was an opening for their opinion (as wrong as it may be!)
I think maturity isn't connected to biological age. Some folks aren't ever ready (imho) to marry.
I am a horrible exception I think to when most folks get married. I was engaged once at age 27, then disengaged right around the time I finished my second college degree and got my RN.
I quit dating (way to deal with things) for 9 years...so I was ahem...40 when I married my sweetie. Of course, again, different than some, I couldn't have married him if we met when I was younger, since I am over 13 years older
