• “Honestly, her lack of maturity due to her age (which is not really her fault – it is her age, after all) is made abundantly clear by her saying “the adjustment was actually so easy” after having been married for around 5 whole seconds.”
• “Reality is gonna hit this child like a runaway train.”
• “They’re gonna crash so hard when the honeymoon period is over.”
• “Waking up with your best friend of a whole 5 minutes? Sure, girl.”
• “Marrying young is easy when everything is taken care of for you. When you are in the same cult and don’t dare challenge any beliefs, when bills are just provided for by mommy and daddy, etc. Real life is challenging.”

Kaybrie later answered why she doesn’t wear a wedding band yet. She revealed that they have already picked out a ring, but they’re planning on wearing it in September, which is going to be their second and official wedding. She wrote, “We wanted to save a few things special for our September wedding since it’s our big wedding.”
