How old were you/will be when your youngest kid graduates from college? Gets married?

If you're still gonna have more kids just say so...

EDIT: Also, the question about marriage is when your youngest got married the first time (I wanted to clarify in case of multiple marriages).

~ 66 for college (i'm giving my youngest extra time :) )

hard to predict on marriage.
 
Yeah marriage is impossible to predict, unless they've already done it.
i guess divorce and 2nd marriages make my marriage question too tough. unless there are really old people here where everything is set.

Well, I took it as married the first time. But that's just me.
 
I was 49 when my youngest Graduated College and 57 when they got married.

I only had one, and I was 43 when he married.
 
I was 38 when my son was born.

No idea if he will want to go to college or get married.
 
I had my youngest at 31. She got her undergraduate when I 57 and has just started working on her PhD. No clue how long that will take. She isn’t yet married but has been with the same for guy for 10 years. They plan to marry but I’m guessing it likely won’t happen until she’s done with school- but that’s a guess on my part.
