The best time to get married is when you are ready for it. But there is some old prejudice that women should marry as young as possible.
[ ADVERTIsem*nT ]
We had outgrown that belief a long time ago. However, you can still occasionally hear comments about some women being too old to find a husband.
And it is awful. As we've said, the best time to get married is when you are ready and want to.
Age is just a number. An unmarried woman beyond the age of 20 is frequently subjected to remarks about a "ticking clock" and being "the last to hop on the wagon" from people around her.
However, such beliefs have become obsolete as statistics show that the average age at which a woman marries is increasing. For example, the "oldest" grooms are 35 years old in Italy, whereas the "oldest" brides are 32 years old in Ireland.
We remembered prominent women who wore their wedding gowns for the first time at a far-from-young age, demonstrating that there is no such thing as "late" when it comes to starting a family.
Take a look at our list. We know you will find it interesting.
Let's start:
1. Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton, a 40-year-old party girl, married Carter Rem, a venture entrepreneur, in November 2021. Previously, the famous blonde had been engaged on multiple occasions, but each time the engagement was called off due to unforeseen circ*mstances.
A wedding took place only with Rem, and we genuinely wish the newlyweds happiness.
2. Julianna Margulies
Julianna Margulies, the star of The Good Wife, and Keith Lieberthal, a lawyer, exchanged wedding rings in 2007. The bride, who was 41 at the time, had previously stated that she grew up in a less-than-affluent home, which is why she didn't realize the value of marriage for a long time.
Meeting her future husband, who turned out to be 6 years younger than her, however, offered her a completely different viewpoint.
3. Helen Mirren
The legendary actress married the director, Taylor Hackford, at 52.
4. Marcia Cross
The star of Desperate Housewives, Marcia Cross, married stockbroker Tom Mahoney when she was 44.
5. Vanessa Paradis
Before the age of 45, the actress had never been married. Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp had been in a common-law marriage for about 15 years, and their supporters believed their partnership was indestructible.
Despite this, the actors split up. Paradis wore a bridal gown for the first time in 2018. Samuel Benchetrit, a French director, is her current partner.
6. Amy Adams
Amy Adams married her boyfriend, Darren Le Gallo, whom she had been dating for 15 years, in 2015. The actress was 41 years old at the time of their wedding.
The status of a wife, she claims, provided her a greater sense of permanence, which is a good thing for her.
7. Salma Hayek
The actress married a successful businessman and billionaire, François-Henri Pinault at the age of 42. They got married in 2009.
8. Jessica Chastain
9. Zoe Saldaña
The Guardians of the Galaxy star believes that getting married for the purpose of being married is a bad idea. According to the actress, her parents' marriage was strained since she was not in a hurry to walk down the aisle. However, when Zoe was 35 years old, she met someone she wanted to marry. Her husband, Marco Perego, is an artist.
10. Geri Halliwell
Geri Halliwell, a member of the Spice Girls, married Christian Horner, the head of the Red Bull Formula One team, in 2015. She was 42 years old at the time.
The newlyweds already had children from prior relationships, and their shared child was born in 2017.
11. Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz married at the age of 41. She got herself a hot guy who was adored by millions of ladies all over the world.
Daniel Craig, better known as James Bond, is the man who has become her significant other. The celebrities exchanged wedding rings in a private ceremony attended by only four people.
12. Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diazadmitted that she would not go down the aisle until she met Benji Madden, a rock musician. Only in him did she see a worthy lifemate, so when she received a marriage proposal, she didn't waste any time in responding.
At the age of 42, the star married.
13. Penélope Cruz
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, both actors, married at the ages of 36 and 41, respectively. They had been in arelationship for several years by the time they married, but they never mentioned them in the media or even confirmed them.
As a result, the actors' marriage came as a complete shock to everyone.
Being ready and actually wanting it are the best reasons to get married. Anytime sooner, and it won’t end well.
If you're married, how old were you when you made the decision to tie the knot? Do you believe there is a certain age when it is best to start a family?
