The person you dreamed of marrying

Warren Beatty, thought he was so handsome and one to drool over. I think he was actually a bit of a womanising egotist but he looked good.

Was always in love with Elvis when young!

I had a bad crush on a guy I know, he was 3 years older than me. We went of a few dates only as friends nothing more, a good 5-10 years later I found out he had been married, divorced, several kids in to with several different people and had numerous affairs. Had a lucky escape but actually still in touch with him via text

I remember having a crush on a man who did casual work in my mother's firm when I was about six. I never told anyone as I felt guilty about it, as he was married and the father of three children slightly older and younger than I.

So I never dreamed of marrying him, but day-dreamed about being the woman he was married to, and all the nice dinners I would cook for him, which I suppose amounts to the same thing.

Since then I never dreamed of marrying anyone in particular, as I usually realised fairly early when going out with a boy that he was not my future husband. I dreamed instead of the kind of man I would marry.

My dreams could not have been farther away from the man I did marry, and as we are happy together, it is just as well none of the imaginary men got in first.

I often think about the boy I had a crush on at school. We didn't talk to boys until the 6th form, but I know he had a crush on me, too. Then he left school. I still imagine a parallel life in my dreams where I stayed with him for ever. In my dreams, it is a perfect life and a perfect marriage. I think it's better that way. Had we stayed together for real, things wouldn't have been so perfect.

I fell in love with Elvis when I was about 10 and thought that if I ever got married it would be to him or someone like him. Several of my later boyfriends and husband had that dark hair and dreamy eyes.

Someone with a short surname. My maiden name was 10 letters long. Ended up with a 9 letter married name, but I wouldn't swop.

I was mad about Barry Gibb. He's the only Bee Gee left standing now!

Sean Connery was meant to be my husband 🤣 My 1st love from 15 to 19 cheated on me in college so I dumped him. I went on to marry no:1 a controller, then no:2 became a heavy drinker so I divorced him too. Weirdly my 1st love has tried to come back into my life ! However, back in the 60’s long hair and denims were a must for all young men, when in their 70’s it does not have the same appeal ….. especially with the bald patch on the top ….. I choose now to be single and am loving my life !

James Drury, The Virginian! We didn't have a tv but I saw him on a tv at a friend's house and I fell hook, line and sinker!

Michael Nesmith from the Monkees. Later on it was David Essex and Kris Kristofferson. I still go to see David in concert.

The man I wanted to marry dumped me. I then went on to meet and marry the real Mr Right. (I couldn't have Richard Burton....)

Sorry I didn’t realise the OP meant actors , famous people etc. I thought someone in my life. Though he was quite famous in his own field.

Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights.

Cal I thought Dirk Bogarde was very handsome. Loved his films. I don't remember thinking of marrying him, just admiring. Did you know his full name was Derek Ulrike van den Bogarde.

No, I didn't know that, Aldom

I probably didn't think of marrying him either, he was 'a pash' 😀

I had forgotten that I was once very keen on Robin Hood - no idea of the actor’s name - in the old B&W TV version. ‘Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen…’
I’d have liked to be his Maid Marian!

I never dreamt of getting married when I was a young child but when I was 19 I met the "man of my dreams" and we fell in love. We were far too young but made plans to marry. A couple of months before our wedding he met someone else.
I met my husband a few years later and we have been (mostly) happily married for 40 years and I heard from a mutual friend many years later that "man of my dreams" and his wife were still together with a family so it is probably all for the best. I have never been able to bring myself to get rid of my 'first' engagement ring though.

When I was about 5 I wanted to be the Disney character Tiger Lily. I acquired a bow and arrow and a fringed dress. My crush was Peter Pan! Imagination's a great thing.

I fell in love with Dirk Bogarde in my early teens. The passion lasted for some time.

Me too Callistermon

My friend and I used to go to the cinema to watch his films, Aldom

He was very watchable 😀

I couldn’t possibly say. He is dead now but I have thought of him all my life .

When I was in my late teens I had a real crush on an American pop star called Del Shannon. I used to dream about going to America and marrying him. I did go and work in America many years later (1990s) but he had died in mysterious circumstances by then.

It was Merrill Osmond for me.
I have met him a few times and he really is a nice man.

Andy Fairweather Low of Amen Corner. And later on I did quite fancy marrying Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall. Can you see a pattern emerging? 😂

Andy Fairweather Lowe wrote his autograph on my arm. Such a long name went all the way up! I didn't wash for ages...
