What ever happened to getting engaged, getting married and then having a baby...

I know I'm old school but why!!! ☼☼☺

Couples have been having children or least getting pregnant before marriage for as long as marriage has existed.  People just hid the pregnancies.  A daughter went to "visit" her grandmother or aunt.  A couple married quickly before the mom to be was "showing".  The term shot gun wedding has been around a long time.

I was a "shotgun" baby.

@deepwaterdotter  So was my cousin way back in the forties. It was just kept quiet then. It’s nothing new.

I still think loving the mother of your child enough to marry her should still be important.

Marriage is important before having kids....always will be even if some segments of society disregard it.

Probably. Both Katy and Orlando are divorced.
