Confession: Another reason I wanted to get married on July 4th was because I wanted to be the same age as Mr Frenchie when we got married.
Back when I used to plan out my life, I planned to get married when I was 26. That way, Sister Frenchie would be 21 and be able to participate in all the bachelorette activities. Good reason, right? Well, at 26 I broke up with my a$$hole ex-boyfriend and met the love of my life, Mr Frenchie.
I knew I wasn’t getting married at 26, but I knew he was the man I was going to marry.
Am I alone? Is anyone else crazy about age like I am?
I’m a “puma” — a mini cougar (cuz, I mean, come on…it’s less than a four month difference!).
*Rowr* 
OMG, I am the exact same! I am 4 weeks older than my man (In fact, his birthday is in 2 weeks, so right now I am older!). He usually spends the 4 weeks in between calling me a hag… that will only be cute for so long. We are planning on an early July wedding in 2011, which means I will be older than him when we get married.
It really is a funny feeling, even though it totally isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things… I guess in 50 years we will enjoy being with a younger man for that little while 
Is today your bday? happy birthday then. my fiancee is 3 years older. I don’t mind it.
LOL, everyone teases us for the opposite reason; I am 25 and FH is 30; he proposed this February, and we both had bdays in April, so it seems like our engagement is longer than it is for that timing reason. So, in my long roundabout way of answering, no, you’re not the only one ‘crazy’ about age… =)
lol I’m a cougar myself. Two months older feels like years in WOMAN years!
Yes! For the next few weeks, the Mr. will be 24 while I’m 26. I cannot wait until he’s 25! I know it doesn’t make a difference to anyone, but 25 and 26 doesn’t sound as bad as 24 and 26.
A very happy birthday to you
I don’t know about California… but in New Jersey, your age DOES go on your marriage certificate 
I’ve never thought about it, but I am three months older than my fiance - but when we get married (18 days before my birthday!), we will be the same age.
Isn’t it exciting to think that you’re currently the age that you’re going to get married at??
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss Frenchie!!! My Birthday is in January and Mr. Jewell’s is in September, so I’m 9 months older… so when we get married next summer I’ll be 28 & he’ll be 27. It used to bother me, but it seems like all of my friends (actually all but 1) who have gotten married in the last few years or are engaged now, the bride is older (at least by a few days) than her groom! Be proud that we’re part of the cougar club!
I’m 6 months older then the FH… and when we get married I will be the “one year older” looking one. He always calls me his cougar and tells people I like younger men… I just laugh, doesn’t really bother me much.
It doesn’t matter anyways… A four month difference is not a difference at all. My cousin eloped when she was 18 to a 26 year old guy. 15 years later, they are still happily and crazily married.
Happy Birthday!!! I am Puma too!! Well he is 9 months younger and I feel just like you do - in fact I *almost* didn’t go on a date with him because he was 25 and I was 26 GASP!!! haha to think of it now - but I love the three months we are the same age lol
I get to remind him I am the older aka WISER one
We’re 11 years apart, so when people throw around the “C” word (aka cougar) in reference to me, I can get a bit sensitive.
I wanted to get married in June so that it would be 10 years 11 months, but work schedules wouldn’t allow it…
But honestly, your age difference is nothing. Try being me on this issue! Luckily, we’ve had 7 years to come to terms with and hash out all the age gap issues. That’s a blog in it’s own right, trust me!
And no, I don’t consider myself a cougar or puma or anything else. I never pursued fiance even for a second!
We are getting married between our birthdays so the age difference feels a little larger… he turns 28 March 16, we get married March 20, I turn 25 April 2. So it *looks like 4 years when really we’re 3 years apart. It doesn’t bother me though, but I think the otehr way around would! I agree, it’s just kind of weird!
(Meaning it is a weird feeling, not that it’s weird to be older or younger!!!!)
@Hayley: Happy Birthday to you too! Best Birthday date EVER!
Haha, you guys are so cute! Age ain’t nothin’ but a number! Then again, I am 5 and a half years younger than the dude. Maybe I’d feel differently if our ages were reversed!
