<human>: hey guys! I'm super excited, I love 100% love my boyfriend, know I want to marry him (someday), we both get along swimmingly with each other's families and we've been talking about big life issues (kids, finances, career goals, etc) but we don't exactly have our shit together.

He's from a Latin American country, I'm from the States. He's en route to take his TOEFL and apply for a B.A. program, I'm revving up for professional career track or master's program. We ain't got much money. I had always thought we'd end up marrying around age 27-30, and spend the rest of the time getting life stuff figured out. 

We'd like to get married legally, tell anyone outside our immediate family that we're engaged (moms, dads, siblings will know we're married) so that we can plan bigger weddings in each of our home countries. 

We've only decided to tell this little white lie because other international couple friends of ours have found that the wind got taken out of their sails getting married legally and then doing weddings later -- people don't see the "specialness" of the wedding in the same light, since they're already technically married. 

 I think I'm mostly wrestling with the idea of being married so young. I never thought that would happen to me. It seems somehow strange and awkward to be a married lady at 24. But, as far as I'm concerned, I have the relationship I want to have for the rest of my life, I'm in love with the best  friend I've ever had -- and I have 0 fear of actually BEING married.

My only real concern is that my SO's professional / educational goals may not pan out as expected. He's got a long way to go -- but I do know he's determined to move ahead.

So, what do you guys think? Are we rushing things?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Getting married at 24. Our shit isn't 100% together, but we love each other. Whaddya think?
