  • Where is Albert?

  • Dude, Almanzo totes has Bieber Hair.

  • @meba7531 No, Bieber Has Almanzo Hair!!!

  • Caroline is soooo wise!!

  • How old is Nellie supposed to be? Is she 17-year older than Laura or was she same age as Mary as in 18 or so?

  • @jecka1982 i think nellie and laura are the same age.

  • Okay. I can understand some people could see that PA was quite unfair to Laura. Meanwhile, he did allow Mary to marry so young. I guess maybe Charles, at the time, felt it was best to let Mary go since she was blind and have Albert to help her and take care of her whereas he could not help his own daughter.

  • @purplegirlie02 Albert??? You mean Adam right?!

  • I love MA!!!!!!!!! She speaks so calmly and understandingly!! I wish my MA was like that =) cuz that's how a mother should be. Caring, calm, delicate, graceful, stern in a way, motherly, and a godly woman who fears the Lord =)

  • I'm surprised Laura didn't mention Mary and that pa was going to let her marry a boy at 16 and all that stuff

  • Caroline has HUGEEE cheekbones!(;

  • i wonder if lauras hair gets its curls and waves from wearing it up in the bun like she does.

  • Thank you for for posting i havn't seen this one. It just would have been better if they went more on the books when it came to Almanzo and Laura but it is a show so they needed to keep the ratings up so more drama the better. It also would have been nice to see a Cap Garland, Mary Powers, and Ida Brown.

  • @misscassandra You're welcome and I agree with youre comment. Well said!

  • @Emotional2000 Thank you. I am glad to see someone agrees.

  • @misscassandra You're welcome and I believe other LHOP fans feel the same way... :D

  • sorry charles but you are wrong you let mary merry at a young age how unfair

  • Almonzo...what an unfortunate name! But I do so love this series, lol.

  • he was prepared to let mary get married at 15 to john jr.! its so not fair

  • Maybe Pa let Mary get married early 'cause she's blind or something...o_O

  • Dad did the right thing. If Almanzo loves her, then he will wait.

  • @voxgirl Yes exactly!!If almanzo is really in love with Laura then he can wait a little.Charles wants to test Almanzo's love and her daughter too.He wants to see if she's enough mature and sure of her feelings.

  • God! Almanzo should have asked Mr. Ingalls first before asking Laura.

  • "my two babies!"

  • mary wasn't 18 when she married why should laura have to wait

  • Back in the days they are portraying, @ the age of 16-18 they were way more mature then the 16-18 year old's of today. Their education was better back then too!!

  • @Blessed2BeeAlive

    yeh, they usualy had a lot more responsability as well. They would have been taking care of younger children, or working with their fathers from the age of 10 or 11.

  • i have no idea why, but almonzo seems anceint in this ep.

  • Omgomgomgomg THANKS sooo much

  • @katahdinlover2 You're welcome! : D

  • I understand him. She is so young and still act so much like a kid. Mary was always more mutre than Laura and Nellie.

  • people married young back then... 15, 16, 17 yr olds...

  • It is very unfair, I think Pa felt bad for Mary because she was blind, so he let her marry at 16. But yet, I think Pa doesn't want to loose his half-pint.

  • In the books Mary never married and Laura didn't marry until 18. That is real life, this is just a TV show. Most of the stuff that happened past seasons 1 or 2 didn't really happen in the books, keep that in mind!

  • @twilliger123 It's been quite a long time since I've read the books, and if I do remember correctly, Laura was indeed 18 years old when she and Almanzo were married. They had planned to marry in one year, which would allow for him to harvest his crops and secure a home. But a huge storm had destroyed the crops and the house that Almanzo had been building. This circumstance was the reason that their marriage plans were put on hold, not Pa.

  • @ljcre8ive Sorry, I've been reading the books again and just got done with This Happy Golden Years and The First Four Years. You are correct that Laura and Almanzo had planned on getting married a year after their engagement but they actually got married sooner because Eliza Jane and his mother was planning on coming to DeSmet to take charge of their wedding and were planning a huge church wedding, something neither Pa nor Almanzo could afford so they got married sooner.

  • @twilliger123 The storm which ruined the crops didn't come until a year after their marriage and a fire destroyed their already built house in their third year of marriage. I wouldn't know all of this normally but I just finished both books that account for all of these happenings, LOL.

  • How old was Almanzo in this video?

  • @mesorangerxx Almonzo was 10 years older than Laura...so 26.

  • "My two babies" LOL... it's nice to see a big long scene with Ma; it's sort of rare we see so much of her side and her emotions. I love when she comforts Laura; it gives me the squiggles ^^

  • This show rocks! :)

  • pretty selfish of almanzo really, can't even go back in the house for the pie laura baked specially for her, no goodbye or anything. poor laura - she has loved this guy for years.

    but unfair that mary was wedded i'm sure at 16?

    but it was best to make him wait - things that come too quick and easy aren't quite as appreciated.

    "He didn't go to China, he just went home" - perfect, ma. She has the best advice.

    thankyou for going to talk to pa, halfpint...

  • I wish my mom was an angel <3

  • poor almonzo and pa:( still pa let mary go away and crap but with this wow he has a right but y do mary get rverything

  • she was blind that's the biggest difference :)

  • Sometimes...Almanzo is the biggest jerk in Walnut Grove. If he really loved her..he would be willing to wait..gosh!!! And you're right

    Mirandahobbes1

    She shouldn't have to pick between her Pa and Almanzo. DANG!!!!

  • If you love her, you'll wait!

    If he wants to marry this man's daughter, then he has to respect him. I mean, who does he think he is? That he can just have what he wants when he wants? Gosh! 2 years? That's not long! Right now I have to wait 5 years to get married to my sweet-heart. I never really liked Almanzo very much

  • 2:30  charles looks like a duck! hahaha... but aww poor almanzo!

  • My Mom says that an engagement should be at least a year long.... two years is a long wait, I'll admit... but Laura is only 16

  • When you love someone you love them a nd you wont to be with them that is all that matters im 22 and i got married when i was 16 and we are still together lol. love the video.

  • Thank you for posting this, it is such a great show. But isn't it a bit selfish for Almanzo to ask this of Laura. To choose between him and her father, the two most important men in her world. Doesn't seem fair.

  • It's a bit funny in a way. If she waits 2 more years....she might see ONE other single male come through town. haha

  • Haha you're kind of right. But the odds are small, not many single men pass through Walnut Grove. Maybe she never meets any other... :D

  • That's my point!

  • Ha ha ha! Yeah, besides Almanzo the only pick she would have is Dr. Baker! Ha!

  • Well i think its a bit unfair he let mary get Married at 16 and Laura has to be 18, but on the other hand, today it would be very young to get married at 16..^^

  • mary never got married in real life so it;'s the shows doing

  • hahaha "My two babies!" XD

  • I totally dislike it how Caroline has no say in Charles's decision of the two year wait...

  • Ugh! So unfair - he let Mary marry at sixteen!

  • Hey you're right! But she wasn't allowed to marry Mr. Edwards adopted son was she?

  • @CaroWould Though, you know Half-Pint is his favorite, so he's have more trouble letting her go. It represented how precious she was to him.

  • @CaroWould I KNOW!!!!!

  • @CaroWould I so agree with you! He is unfair that he lets Mary marry at 16 but not Laura!!

  • I can't wait to get the DVD's!

  • What season is this?

  • Season 6 Finale

  • Pa's right. She's just a little girl!

  • how old is Laura in this video? 15? and Ma probably would not have made her and Almanzo wait to get married if it was her decision?

  • Laura was 16

  • My husband used to be the same way about our daughter.

    He didn't want her to start dating until she was a lot older than SHE thought she should be.

  • i live in sweden,i gotta find the books somehow,if i cant,hope someone will help me send them to me,if we arrange with books-money,the stamp money to sweden,i just gotta have the books,so curious,hope i can find them in swedish:)

  • 1:51 is it just me, or does he look furious!?! I know he doesn't like the decision, but he looks like he's about to kill Charles... Anyway, thank for uploading! Caught the beginning earlier and couldn't finish so...

  • i think your right.a funny thing,when i see this,if it was someone who was asking my dad for marry me,my dad would say-why are u asking me this?it isnt ME you gonna married,now go tell my daughter,and BTW why did you asked me,are you lost;;)(typical my dad and times change,and im swedish no permittion to ask the father,so dad would laugh his head off) hehe,just wanna share.

  • That's cool... and funny haha! Are you lost lol!

  • haha thank you:)it is cool tho*;)

  • lol! That's cool. I don't know if that's necessarily the way everybody does it now...it's the traditional way...but that's cool that y'all don't do that. Swedish...that's awesome!

  • we dont see the point in it,we just see fun it,like why?ask...our parents giving us such an free will as young age,and stubbern,so the parents just have to accept,our decitions in life;)i think its nice;)

  • He does! lol I guess I'd be mad, too...Laura should know that if he really loves her he'd be willing to wait...that's how I'm testing my love toward the guy courting me..that's how we're testing our love...four year wait...if we still love each other then, we'll love each other forever. :)

  • That's really good lol! It's great that two people can wait for eachother just to make sure that they're right for eachother. Keep it up haha!

  • While back then teenagers were much more mature, many thought they were ready to handle marriage and parenthood. They were more ready than teenagers nowadays, but they still weren't ready.

  • thank you so much for posting these, emotional. i have read all the books now twice, since i read them to my two daughters, and they now also love the tv show. ma is so accurately portrayed in the tv show.

  • You're welcome elanarab! And thank you for sharing regarding the LHOP books and your 2 daughters love of the Little House t.v series... Its really nice to read fellow LHOP fans comments and their personal attachments to the show... : D

  • I used to have those books, and I loved them. Since I don't have any children, I gave them to my nieces when they were young girls.

  • i love little house on the prairie

  • Me too! I also llove the anime Bleach! Ichigo is so cool! He has really come a long way...

  • I want to be a mother like Caroline... efficient, loving, quiet, but always gets her point across.

  • I think Caroline is such a strong charecter in this show even though she's in the background most of the time.

  • Yes, makes sense to me. I just feel so sorry for her at that time. They are love sick lol.OH the memories of those days lol.

  • Yeah.... I felt bad for them too...

  • If mary was married at 16, Larua should be able to do the same. I don't want my daughters to be married till they are 30 lol.

  • I see your point... However, I believe Pa let Mary get married, so young, because of her blindness. I think he may have felt she had been through enough in her life, so he sympathized with her more regarding the issue.

  • There is definately two sides to this story...both sides have equal merit.

  • almanzo has a rlly good point

  • yes thats so true when a person is ready to get married to their partner/girlfriend/boyfriend they shouldnt have to wait.

  • Making them wait is not gonna make things better. It is never right to keep waiting after the right time has come!

  • And if you read some of the books, they have a family tree in the front. But maybe people don't have books. No need to start getting rude..

  • You don't need to be rude, some peeple might not whant to read the books!

  • yeah how old was he???? no offense i just never thought of the age.

  • Early 20's, maybe 23.

  • Well in the series, I think he was 24 and she was 16. Charles was just being that way, because laura had always been special to him. Mainly because he just wasn't ready to let her go. But I don't think he was being fair. Mary was 16 when she married and Adam was older than she was.

  • okay so here is a question. How old is Almanzo supposed to be?

  • i think hes about 24 years old, maybe 25

  • He's 26. She's 16 and he's 10 years older than her.

  • in the show or in the books?

  • In the show, the books and actual history.

    That's partly why Charles didn't want Laura to marry Almanzo right then. Because he was really ten years older than she was. She was sixteen, and he was twenty-six. :] Charles just wanted the best for his daughter. He didn't want her rushing into marriage, with a ten-year-older-than-Laura man. I think, that in Charles eyes, Laura was still his little half-pint. He just didn't want to see her get hurt.

  • he is suppossed to be 26. they have a 10 yr age difference

  • Omg! Tha is a big gap in age... But I still love them nevertheless... I never thought of it that way i.e Almanzo being 26 and Laura being 16... I just always told myself he was 10 years older, but I never really realized their exact ages until now...

  • You think ten years is a big age gap? My uncle married a woman who is 30 years younger than him. They have been married for about 10 years and have two children and are doing great!

  • Wow! Congrats on your Uncle and his marriage... I hope all continues to go well for them! : D

  • i dont mind age at all,ok i gotta draw line somewhere haha but,i am 26 girl,dated 18-19 years old guys,so what if the girls older,n"looove is in the aiiir" hehe

  • everyone who says manly just wanted to get some, well i think your wrong. i believe he was so inpatient because like he said if your in love "2 years seems like forever." he did seem immature but hving to wait 2 years to marry your love would be like torture

  • I not sure what his intention truly were, but it didn't look good on the surface. He a man truly loves a woman, he'll wait for her. At least that is how I was raised.

  • I agree! I dated my wife 4 years and she wouldn't move in with me until I married her! Almanzo would wait if he really wanted her.

  • He want her that is why he wants to marry her right away because he loves her. How hard wa it for you to wait?

  • He loves her. I mean if you want to marry someone and you are sure you love the person you shouldn't wait any longer. Two years is a long time.

  • Absolutely, he should have made Laura weight until she was 45 and Manly was 52!lol Very normal to marry at 16 back then, Pa doesn't want to lose his daughter, so to speak, that's understandable.

  • Personally I think Laura's being immature. Well, they all are - Charles, Almanzo and Laura. Thank god Caroline's being the reasonable one.

  • I love this episode. I loved looking at Dean Butler.

  • Yes, Dean was a HOTTIE back in the day! :)

  • yes he was he was so hot

  • OH YA

  • Both Laura & Almanzo had to learn that patience is a virtue. Like Ma said, true love can stand anything. And the passing of time only makes love stronger.

  • Well said 19truthteller! :)

  • haha. =]]]

  • thanks for puding dice up I love the serie and I have lockt for it in a long time

  • You're welcome mia22s. I love this series too. I've been watching since I was around 11 or 12 years old and have loved it ever since then. :)

  • OH I just love Laura and her ma!! They have such a strong relatonship!!

  • Yes, I love their mother daughter relationship! :)

  • no i think that drama queen suits him fine!! thanks for the upload

  • Almanzo is such a drama queen, well drama king but that doesn't sound so nice

  • :P amazing
