Well, you could ask her if she wants you to be married tomorrow, or if she'll allow you to wait to be married to the right person? That should give her pause for thought.

As for your eggs getting "too old", well, your ovaries only release one egg as a time so that makes no sense at all. (the rest are incubating oocytes in your ovaries). But if she wanted you to give birth having "fresher eggs", I suppose you could have given birth at 14 or 15, which I don't think she would have wanted you to do that. Besides, if you had a baby later on, they have amnioscentisis and other medical technologies to make sure that the developing fetus is normal.

You might want to sit her down, have a little talk with her (if you can, do it calmly) and tell her to lighten up. There are arguments to be made for getting married in your later 20's, when you "know yourself" more thoroughly as a person.

Good luck!
