I got married a year into my master's! I was 23 and my spouse was 27. Honestly it doesn't feel weird at all. In my experience, people around you will be very excited for you and not treat you any differently. I would say that a good pre-marriage step is moving in together (if you haven't already). I really strongly feel that you need to live together before you get married. It really forces you to get to know each other in ways that you weren't expecting, and exposes any potential flaws in the relationship. Especially when you're in grad school (and potentially going to be there for a while), it's good to figure out how the home dynamic will work in terms of how your work load affects your ability to hang out with your spouse or contribute to housework and stuff like that.

Can anyone offer some insight into Penn State's notification process for their PhD program? I've seen that some people have been admitted to the masters and some others have been contacted by the DGS(?) to let them know that they are on the wait list. But it's all seemed very sporadic, and I haven't heard of anything concrete concerning the PhD.

Congrats!!! That's amazing. Who was the email from? Did it look like they're sending them all out at once, or are they personalized? Thanks!! -

Yeah I had called yesterday after the first wave of acceptances were posted, and they said that they'd sent out some acceptances but still had more to send out later in the day, but I didn't see anything else posted last night soooooooo who knows. I was really hoping for some good news and now I'm just anxious lol -
