What made you fall in love with your OH?

I met DH when I was a student on teaching practice at a school where he was teaching. I had some very difficult classes and he took me under his wing. He is my rock and today we celebrate our 54th wedding anniversary.

Gran22boys That rings true with me as well.
pably15 Uncanny!

His immense kindness and devotion.

No idea but we are still happily together after 56 years ( 50 married).

Here is the unromantic story. We met at the university sailing club sometime in our first year, neither of us have any memory of it.

We went our separate ways when we graduated, but a group of us used to meet up at the boat show each year. DH had bought his own dinghy, but needed a regular crew and I volunteered, as we both lived and worked in London, It gave me an opportunity to sail again.

After 18 months of being shouted at, sworn at and blamed for everything that went wrong, any dinghy sailor will recognise the behaviour, I decided that I had seen worst of him and could handle it, so I shed my previous romantic interest and we got married and 58 years later, I have had no real reason for regretting my decision.

How romantic Aldom. I’m glad it all turned out so well. Other lovely stories on here too. Good to read them.

Grumps 🌹

oh grumpa,that's so sad, but I bet you have lots of lovely memories.

She was a gorgeous redhead, and when she dumped her boyfriend, who played in the same front row of the scrum as me at our local rugby club, I moved quickly. We clicked, and were married in just under a year from our first date. Our golden wedding was followed all too soon by her dying.

I loved (and still do) his sense of humour! We have such fun together - 54 years so far 👍

No idea - it was a coup de foudre

He made me laugh so much, still together, lived together 5 years, married 45 years.

My DH said on our first date "wither thou goest, I will go"
It struck a chord.
Still together after 51 years.

Chemistry! Many years before I formally met my future husband we had a chance encounter as total strangers. I had a problem with my car and this stranger helped me. I never forgot him. Years passed and I attended a forum and the speaker made a deep and lasting impression on me. Eventually the 'speaker' and I met socially and it was love at first sight. After getting to know him I realised he was the man who years before had helped me with the car problem.... Which was odd because that really wasn't his thing. So definitely chemistry with a dose of fate thrown in. We were extremely happy.

We were in lust, we married 10 months after we met. Love grew - 56 years later we are still together, each other's best friends and soul mates. We have had lots of challenges, ups and downs, but are still here.

Early on in our relationship, he came to stay for the weekend. It was when it was usual for you to fit your own plugs on appliances. He spotted my hairdryer on the floor with a badly fitted plug - I came into the room and saw him kneeling on the floor refitting it so I’d be safe. That was it. I knew he was the one.

Hair and teeth.

Marge 75, how uncanny I was 17, OH was 20,he was on leave from the navy .he made me feel protected and I would trust him with my life and we.ve been married 58 years too
