How Old Was Candace Cameron When She Got Married

So, you’re wondering: How old was Candace Cameron when she got married? Grab your favorite cozy drink, because this story is like a warm hug from your best friend. Candace, our beloved D.J. Tanner from Full House, didn’t just find her Prince Charming—she found him early in life. She tied the knot with hockey star Valeri Bure on June 22, 1996, at the tender age of 20. Yes, you read that right—twenty! (And no, I haven’t accidentally slipped into a time warp.)

Can you imagine planning a wedding at that age? Most of us were still trying to figure out how to fold a fitted sheet or avoid calling our parents for every little crisis. But Candace? She was walking down the aisle at just 20 years old, looking like a vision in white. The ceremony took place in Florida, because nothing says “forever” like a little bit of sunshine and a whole lot of puck-passing charm. Valeri, a Russian hockey player, had met Candace through a mutual friend, and their love story unfolded faster than a slap shot. Honestly, it’s enough to make you believe in love at first sight—or at least love at first very cute blush.

Here’s the kicker: they’re still married today, celebrating over 25 years together. That’s longer than most of us have kept a gym membership. Candace has joked that her secret is communication and a shared love of family—and maybe a few seasoned hockey games. “I knew he was the one,” she once said, “even before I knew how to make a proper pot roast.” (Okay, I might have paraphrased that last part, but you get the vibe.)

So, what’s the takeaway? Whether you’re 20 or 40, love doesn’t come with an age checklist. Candace Cameron proves that when you know, you know—and sometimes, you know at an age where you’re still allowed to eat cereal for dinner. She built a beautiful family and a career that’s still shining, all because she said “I do” while most of her peers were saying “I need to study.” So here’s to Candace, Valeri, and the reminder that the best things in life—like love, laughter, and a good marriage—can start at any age. Now go call your mom, she’d love to hear about your love story too.
