To all you "too young" guys, it's not unusual for people to get married well before 25 down here.  

What matters most is how strong the relationship is.   It has to be one of solid foundations, full of trust and actual LOVE, not just infatuation or other bullshit.  It'll probably take at least two years for a properly solid relationship to be formed, and only then should the question of marriage arise.

Most of that is not as essential as something you missed entirely. You must have a great deal of respect for each other and your individual boundries. If you cannot guarantee that then any relationship is absolutely doomed to failure. Being able to accept and understand the others entirely irrational, and sometimes potential hurtful requests is the key to a long lasting relationship.

18. You can get married younger with parental consent I believe, but I have no real legal background so I can't say with any degree of certainty. Other than that age is immaterial. Quality of relationship is the only valid determinate. From a psychological stand point though you may want to wait until after 22-24. The time of greatest personal change tends to be between 18-22ish range. That can easily kill a relationship as the two drift apart.

I'd hoped basic compatability and mutual respect was assumed, but I suppose that would be too much to ask of some people.
