Jeez, didn't get legally married until I was 41, though both she and I had considered ourselves married for five years before, and had even bought a house together.
Was there time enough for kids? Might have been, just, but we didn't want them. Studies show that the average women can conceive and carry a child fairly easily up until the late '30s. So assuming that you marry a woman your age, or up to five years younger, you've got up to 15 years to start the bloody family of your dreams. And remember, 15 years ago, you were 10. You have a long time to get off the dime. I know a couple who just had their first kid; she, 36, he 48. No problem. I wouldn't worry about the grandchild issue, either. You could have them by your '60s, and that's plenty soon enough.
Anway, everybody proceeds through life at their own pace. Life's not a race, and if you spend too much time worrying about whether you made all the checkpoints at good speed, you'll be too busy to enjoy it.
