I had a pretend wedding around 10 yrs old, I even got wedding gifts. Does that count? I always looked at the wedding dress area in pattern books when I was very young and waiting for my mom at fabric stores.
My daughter keeps on pretending that she is marrying her prince,,,(brother) every other day. She does not do all the planning of it just likes to pretend that it is her day. I know she has been to many weddings for being only seven she has gone to 7 that she can remember.

I’m not sure about the wedding but one young (age 5-10) can’t wait to be a grown up with a baby (I’m cringing picturing her prego at 13 or so).
My daughter is 10 and still thinks boys are icky. She has a few guy friends but she draws the line there….thank God!

Can’t say that I ever dreamed of my wedding until maybe a year before it.

When I was a kid, I remember little girls in grade school talking about this. I went home from school that day and told my dad: I don’t want a wedding! lol. As I got older, I kept hearing this stuff from girls at school. It was the worst in middle school. My dad remembers this better than I do, but I apparently came home one day and said I don’t want a stupid wedding dress I’m gonna get married with jeans and a t-shirt.

(The cool thing is that I did! )

My little girl is only 9 weeks, so I do not know yet. My dad and other relatives say that they are going to do everything possible to make her a girly girl to make it hard on me, so if she wants a “fairy-tale” wedding, I will blame them. (Forgive me, I just do not understand. I grew up in a house full of men and my thinking sometimes coincides with theirs on issues that are supposedly ‘girly.’)

I think quite a few little girls do to some extent. I teach first grade and I hear quite a bit of “I want to marry so and so…”, or kids (almost always girls) playing dress up or with dolls getting married during an inside recess when the weather is not so nice.

I think the closet I got to fantasising about getting married when I was little – was the day myself and my class mate Johnny, decided to get married when we were six.

A soft toy dinosaur performed the ceremony, I was the Groom (dressed up as batman) and Johnny was the bride, (dressed up as a nurse)

I wouldn’t call it fantasizing but my 6.5yr old daughter says things like “when I get married I’m going to have a dress like that or a tiara” etc…And she plans all the time who she’s going to marry, it changes regularly!

It might be because hubby and I married nearly 3 years ago so she likes looking at the pictures, and her aunty who i am bridesmaid for and she is flowergirl for, is getting married in 2 months.

I don’t think they make scrapbooks and really fantasize about it but it supposed to sound good on these websites I suppose!

I think it was more common when I was young than it is today because of society, however it is very common for girls and boys to have this fantasy. My son told me when he was 3 that he was going to grow up, get married, and become a grandpa. He even knew who he was going to marry (though that has changed with age and moving).

YES!! I certainly remember it

im 26 and still havent fantasized about my wedding lol.. i want to get married of course, but just havent thought about it.. i guess im pretty simple. My sisters are 9 an 11 and still think boys have coodies an wouldn’teven imagine getting married (atleast thats what they say lol) However i have a guy friend that admits to thinking about his wedding since 3rd grade, however he is ***.

Yeah, but I think they mean ‘tweens’ by children.
