Well, to be fair, I rediscovered this show. I'm 26 years old and my mom used to watch this series as a kid.

It's one of those gems of a show that wasn't redubbed in Tagalog language here in the Philippines back in the 70's and they would show it almost weekly at that time on the local TV channel. She's more than happy to know that my generation highly appreciates and still watches this show.

I just loved these two together up until their wedding. I guess my issue with how they were written afterwards was the idea that they both had such tempers and would argue so often, BUT they loved each other. The concept that a loving relationship would have so much anger and fighting wasn't quite healthy. There were a few times in Ma and Pa's relationship where they disagreed, but they were usually civil and respectful. I would like to see more of that with Almanzo and Laura. There was a ton of this in shows and movies, where fighting equals passion equals love. Not sure I like it in order to teach kids about adult relationships.

By the late-1970s, it was a much bigger deal. Melissa Gilbert was 16 when this episode first aired; Dean Butler was 23.

Tavullia Bella yes they were a decade apart I agree. However all the girl characters around her age were allowed to be grown up sooner: dressing mature, hair pulled up and wearing heels. The writers kept her looking juvenile for far too long. Nellie wasn't too much older and dressing womanly much sooner. Mary was only a few yrs younger yet Pa had no problem with her marrying at age 15 to John Sanderson. Mary wore heels at 15 and a mature dress. Almanzo couldnt see her as his equal when she dresses and looks like she can pass for his kid sister. I can see his hesitation in being careful not too seem like he is preying on her bec she looks SO much younger than him in looks and height. Even in heels she is still alot shorter than him. That was my point in my previous comment. He asked Eliza Jane in a roundabout manner if he was being inappropriate by liking her. "She's just a kid right" Eliza Jane said "no she's not".

If you wanted to know how I knew about that info. It was Melissa or maybe it was Dean who gave an interview. Talking about what happened during shooting of that scene.

[@marciclark7112]

Was Dean Butler who said it on an interview with the cast years later 😊 I swear, I was just turned 16 and I was so excited my family thought I was silly. All those Harlequin novels made me a romantic 😊 or was it the Barbara Cartland novels, lol?

[@marilynwainwright7578]

Im surprised that Charles is letting Almanzo see Laura with such a big age difference

[@brendabrown5996]

I loved their romance when I was in my teens and twenties but now that i am in my late forties and watching it again with their age gap makes my skin crawl!

[@vickiebryant5473]

When Wilder was 25 years old and Ingalls was age 15, the two began courting. Wilder would drive Ingalls back and forth between De Smet and a new settlement 12 miles (19 km) outside town where she was teaching school and boarding. Then, when spring came, they would go for long buggy rides. Three years later, on August 25, 1885, Wilder and Ingalls were married

Charles: A girl shouldn't get married until she's 18 . How come in "I'll Ride The Wind" ,he was going to let Mary get married to John Sanderson Jr. when she turned 15. In "The Wedding " Mary was around 16 she married Adam . (I guess this second one is a special circumstance) Either way, I LOVE this episode!!

[@dinamule1119]

I agree. Why was everything Mary did a younger age ok and when Laura wanted to she was too young. 1 theory I had is that Mary had her heart broken by john Sanderson when he was cheating on her at college. Maybe Charles didnt want Laura to experience the same anguish at 15 that Mary did so he figured let Laura wait a few yrs

[@tigertbalm]

The real life Mary never married. Neither was she engaged. It was just drama for the tv show.

[@shannon2748]

Almonzo was handsome and kind.

[@jennycrouch5]

I LOVE when they KISS!!!😀😙😗💖💗💟💞💝💜

[@jodyharrison4213]

I love little house on the prairie so does my mom Laura is my favorite im also 16

[@emilylinn7798]

Love this

[@cgallagher5023]

"Almanzo, I have to think about it, so I will text message you later to give you my reply.". 😊

[@suuzq35]

the best of the sweet 16 would be when she comes out of the school and almanzo sees her as a older for the first time, when almanzo barges into the schoolroom and punches the young boy... that should have been on there

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

She was not a woman. You mentioned the guy being a young boy, so why do you think she should be seen as a woman? Lots of men like to think that girls are women when they are not.

[@dinamule1119]

Yes as he takes her bag while she gets in the wagon he gazes at her in awe. She didnt think he'd ever look at her in a womanly manner.

[@suuzq35]

@@Michelle-pn9xt I didnt say she was a woman, just seemed older to him.

[@tigertbalm]

I think the real life Laura was seen as a woman at 16 and ready to marry at 18. That was largely because she could do a woman's work as the wife of a farmer.

[@DottyGale8]

Thank you for posting the actual scene and not some montage with music over it. I hate videos that try to put their own music over the dialogue when the talking is part of the romance of it all. Leave videos alone and just post them as is for us! :)

[@oliviadodge243]

DottyGale8 omg same! I thought I was the only one who thought that 😂

[@susan.8761]

Times have changed.

[@Katie-Kat-King]

It’s sad because In the books Laura wasn’t the one who like manly first. He liked her first. And Pa was more okay with them than ma...

[@janicepowell2188]

Little house on the purse is my favorite tv show to watch

[@becky8668]

I think Charles always wanted Laura to stay a little girl

[@darklinggirl15]

Dont all fathers wish for that?

[@MajinBoujieee]

I think that must be the hardest part about being a parent, because eventually your children have to grow up. That's a fear that every parent shares.

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

She WAS a little girl compared to the man who was interested in her!

[@lucylegend4876]

I feel as if most fathers do

[@DaveTravelsinTime]

typical dad I'm sure Almanzo will feel the same way when his daughter becomes interested in someone

[@whatchalookinat4573]

Someone please post full videos of little house!!!

[@hlengiwezungu8152]

They removed them a year ago I figured coz of copyright

[@tracydanielle5253]

Classic movies has them on YT if u are still looking.

[@darthaino]

If you're interested in the listening to the books Beverly Wolfie is amazing and has all the books.

[@lydiamcsparron]

I liked Laura better as a little girl/child. She was always feisty but as she grew up she just got kind of annoying like getting upset over the smallest things, arguing with Almanzo all the time and yelling at her students. I’d say season 6-8 was bad for Laura. Season 9 she finally lightened up and stopped getting upset all the time. Maybe cus she quit teaching

[@joannross8412]

funny how she wanted so much when she finally got him she turned into a witch

[@jenniferklump1382]

@@joannross8412 yes I thought the same thing. Maybe Melissa was so uncomfortable with playing a wife at her age that it was easier for her to bicker with Dean butler than to have to kiss him all the time but I agree Laura was not very nice to him later

[@dianebutler5096]

This is a sweet love story between laura and almanzo. They stick together especially when almanzo had a stroke and was bitter not excited about the birth of baby rose. He had to learn how to walk again. He made a full recovery and laura and almanzo grew even closer.

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

Almanzo needs a haircut lol

[@cherylT321]

Pearl the rebel. No he doesn’t. He looks totally hot with long hair!

[@jewel79]

absolutely NOT! Today's haircuts are terrible

[@JefferyWaybright]

Aww, Almanzo is so sweet & respectful. Charles' grin when Almanzo told him he punched Laura's student & she got mad at him is hilarious! 😂😂😂

i grew up watching this in australia back in the 1970s

[@pennieclinton6567]

So Hart feeling .

[@grayb7420]

I think they got this backwards. A young girl wore her hair down when before being considered mature and put her hair up once matured.
