I as 22 he was 21 (6 month age diff)
Engaged after 2 months
Married 3 1/2 months after engagement (5 1/2 total)
I was still 22 and he was still 21
Together for 9 years. We have stayed strong through the birth of 4 beautiful children. And the loss of one of those sweet angels. HE is my rock and I am his. MArriage has it's ups and downs, and you learn to either grow together or you will grow apart.
It has been 9 wonderful years, with MANY MANY more to come :-)

Met my husband when I was 12, he was 13. First thing I ever said to him was "I am going to marry you someday"
We got engaged before we ever went on a "date". I had actually been dating another guy for 2 years when out of no where my now husband asked me to marry him. I had just turned 18 and was still a senior in highschool. We got married one year later.
January 11th was our 20th wedding anniversary.

I was 24 when we got engaged... we dated for 3 years before getting engaged. Our engagement lasted 7 months. We've been married for 17 years (on February 24th). Can't say it's been easy the whole time we've been married and we've had our share of issues to work out, but our relationship is stronger now than it's ever been.

Oh, and he was two years older than me. Still is! :laugh:

1st marriage: Knew him for about a year before getting engaged. Lived together for about 4-6 months before we married. Divorced after three years... I was 21 and he was 27.

2nd marriage: Knew each other nearly 4 years. I was 24 and he was 33. After dating for about a year I found out I was pregnant in November 1992. We married February 20, 1993. Tomorrow is our 19th wedding anniversary! :flowerforyou: :smooched:

Oh this is tricky! Trying to remember as best I can. I'm always willing to help with class research projects.

How old were you when you got engaged? I was 20 -- hubby was 34
How long had you been together before getting engaged? We had been dating about a year.
How old were you when you got married? I was 21 -- hubby was 35
Are you still together (if so, for how long)? We will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary in May, so I guess that's a yes.
