Despite their relatively tender ages, they are both ravaged by the life they've eked out toge …ther and by the experiences they've had leading into their marriage. Dean, a high school drop out, comes from a broken home, where he never really had a mother figure. He never saw himself getting married or having a family despite falling in love at first sight with Cindy.
