Wow, 21 does seem young. I'm 25 and I only have 1 married friend and she got married at 24. I think getting married young nowadays is the exception and not the rule. Alot of people are waiting longer to get married now (until their late 20s and early to mid 30s) it seems because of university education & getting established in a career. Definitely there's no rush for marriage b/c as you said you do go through a lot of changes from the time you're 21 until you decide to get married. I've been dating my boyfriend now for 2 yrs and we've talked about getting married but I don't think it will happen until I'm 27 b/c I'm going back this Sept for teacher's college.
