How long did you know your husband/wife for before you were married?

My DD also said that we were very brave living together in those days! Nobody turns a hair now.

we've only been married 2years and eleven months we knew each other for almost ten years before we got engaged then got married 11weeks later

Met DH when I had just turned 17, got engaged 2 years and five months later and married four years after meeting on a blind date. We have been married 52 years now.
I would have married DH when I was 18 but in those days you had to get written permission from your parents and I would not do that so I waited until I was 21.

We met in April 1962, I was sixteen he was 23. We married in Sept 1962 and we are celebrating 58 years of marriage this year

I showed DH this thread last night - we had a a smile looking at all of the stories, and a 'wow' at some of you really fast movers on here!

We went out 16 times that's all and decided to give it a go. We then lived together for 17 years before getting married 5 years ago. We are unalike but it works. He is totally reliable and honest which is important to me. He said he would treat me like a queen and he always has.

We met in March 1962, got engaged in April 1962, married in September 1962, and are still together 57 years later
