The person you dreamed of marrying

Anyone with an interesting surname which went well with my forenames 😁

An interesting question. It’s prompted me to reflect on never dreaming of marriage. Maybe if I had, I wouldn’t have made a poor choice when I married at 18. Divorce then I met absolutely the right man. I was wiser about the qualities to look for in a good life partner . Two years later I married him, best thing I ever did 💖

I didn't dream of marrying anyone. The last thing I wanted was a husband, mortgage and children.

Ended up with all of the above and it wasn't as bad as I thought!

I was besotted with Clint Eastwood in my early teens. I would have married him.

I announced at a young age that I would never marry. Never wanted to.

Same here ... and I could never ever imagine becoming a teacher either.

I married my perfect man at 16, we knew as quite young children.

I always assumed I would marry but had no clear views on whom.

I still haven't married, although I guess there's time, though not that much. Heck, if got on with it, I could just about get a silver anniversary in.

I don't think I'd give up my "freedom" but I like the idea of knowing what it feels like to want to marry someone, and vice versa.

Unfortunately, I have a habit of falling for gay men, which makes marriage unlikely.

As a child I wanted to marry a Romany gypsy with a horse and caravan. The man I did marry couldn’t be further from that image. Safer but nowhere near as adventurous. 😩

I wanted to be a teacher because I thought it would be better to be called Miss M...... rather than always by my first name.
Not a good reason and I was only about six or seven at the time.

Peter O'Toole, but someone beat me to it.

Having looked at photo's and articles about him in later life, I'm rather glad she did.

I never dreamt of marrying anyone. I dreamt of being a ballerina.

George Harrison.

I don't really remember dreaming about marrying anyone, to be honest. Then when I was around 14/15, I saw this boy and knew he was 'the one', but thought he was completely out of my league. He obviously didn't think the same though - we went on our first date the week after my 16th birthday and will have been married 40 years next year!

My first love who I wanted to marry , married someone else. Having said that I married a lovely man and we are coming up to our 49th year of near perfect happiness!

I know this sounds very odd……..Lester Piggott, though in my defence I was very ‘horsey’!

Paul McCartney, when I was about 13.

I suppose ‘dreaming’ was the wrong word when I posted. I was thinking more of the unrealistic hopes of young children.

I was four when I wanted to marry Bing, but I don’t think that lasted long

Paul McCartney, when I was about 13.

Well, I claimed him first, then along came Jane Asher.

Looking at him now, he hasn't aged that well.

My friend's boyfriend when I was 16. She told me after a few weeks I might as well have him as all he did was ask questions about me. At the time I was going out with his friend.
We both split with respective partners and he offered to walk me home. I thought he was a bore and a swot and his chat did not match his looks.
Six weeks later I got a letter asking me out and we were together for seven years on and off until we married 50 years ago next year. He's still duff at chat-up lines and certainly no smoothy.

Donny Osmond - I actually dreamt that I was dating him - dream on H, dream on 😴

Adam Adamant !
Lucky Juliet Harmer acting with him .

Patrick McNee was okay too .
Lucky Diana Rigg !

I really thought that Gerald Harper was the bees knees and sexually attractive .

I notice that I still like that English gentleman type .

Being absolutely horse mad -
I wanted a husband with a farm and stables .

Forget love .

It was the idea of having a stable that attracted me !

I thought on the lines of Black Beauty so I'd have a black , a grey and a Ginger horse as well !

By 15 wearing jodhpurs / boy clothes all the time became the thing of the past - pretty dresses and make up became my new look .

If it had to be someone unrealistic Gregory Peck when I was about 10. His smooth dark looks and manners. I got the dark looks and manners but not the smoothness.

I adored Roger Moore - watched Ivanhoe as a small girl, and seeing him on other TV programmes growing up I fell for his looks, his smooth, sexy voice, and his sense of humour. I still thought he was wonderful as an elderly man - if you've got it, you've got it - for life, it seems!
