I was 26 and DH had just turned 30. Married 3 years later. We had 44 happy years of marriage before he died two years ago.

Wow , so many of you were so young!
I was 29 DH was 33. Married a year later in 1989. Most of our friends were a similar age when they got married .

Grandma70s Wed 17-Apr-24 19:05:33

How young you all were! I was 25, I think, possibly 26. He was much the same age. I wouldn’t have liked to be in a committed relationship younger than that.

Another long-time couple here. I was 20 and he was 21. We married a year and a half later at 21 & 22.

If my children wanted to get married so young, I would have questioned their rash decisions! Somehow we seemed more mature and had been on our own longer than our own kids.

Jaxjacky Wed 17-Apr-24 19:03:48

I was 44 he was 37, we married after eight years together.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 17-Apr-24 18:56:57

I was 22 DH was 29 never had any intention of marrying, but after four children and on our second house along with a flourishing business we had a free weekend 🤣

Youngest child has not forgiven us for marrying before they were here 😱

Mel1967 Wed 17-Apr-24 18:31:08

I was 16.
He was 18.
We married in 1991 & our son was born in 1995.
We’ve been married for 33 years, which have definitely their ups and downs, but we got through and are still together.
He drives me up the wall - but I wouldn’t change him 😊

polomint Wed 17-Apr-24 18:30:31

Marydoll Wed 17-Apr-24 18:14:31
