18 in every state except Mississippi, where it is 21.

Most states will let you get married at 16 or 17 with the consent of both parents or a legal guardian. Several (mostly Southern) will let you get married as young as 16 without parental consent, but you must prove that you or your wife is either pregnant or that you already have a child together. Under extraordinary circumstances, you can get married as young as 14 in some states with both parental AND court approval, but I wouldn't count on this.
