    Age 34. He was also 34. I'm now 36 and he's about to turn 36 in October. We met online.

    ETA: This is our first marriage. No kids. And neither of us were looking! Lol. So... it really does happen when you don't expect it sometimes, in fact, I had bought a plane ticket out of the country to Ireland right before I met him... in fact, I was contemplating moving to Ireland. I thought.. eh, what can it hurt? He wants a date, it'll probably just be a fun date or short fling... so we met, it clicked and he's been with me ever since. Moved into my house shortly after we met and we've been inseparable since. We married 9 months into our relationship. Now I can't imagine life without him.

    I met him during my final year of college. I wasn't looking at all when I found mine.

    I was 27 and he was 26. We pretty much knew from the moment we met that we were going to have a future together. Eleven months after we met, he proposed. And five months after that, we got married. :)

    I was a "retread" with 2 failed marriages and a son when I met my husband at 35 years old. After we met we realized we went to junior high and one year of high school together, only one person was in between us in the yearbooks since our last names were similar............ now here we are married for 4 years and i have another son now :love:

    Was married for over 20 years and when we divorced it was the happiest/saddest day of my life. Turned out she had mental issues. She's now in assisted living where she can be watched 24/7.

    Never did understand why she wasn't happy. Turns out she had a horrible childhood along with a family history of mental illness. Now what keeps me from marrying again is why didn't I recognize her illness. I tried so hard to make her happy that it nearly drove me to the nut house as well.

    Until I figure the latter question I won't date. That was 20 years of pure torture. I don't want any more of that.

    Its possible my hubby passed away leaving me a single mother of 4 at 26 years old! I met my current husband soon after my hubby passed but we were just friends for about 4 years then we started to date and eventually marry. I remarried last year at 33 and had twins 7 months ago. It will happen when the time is right and when you aren't looking.

    We were 29 - we met online. A few hours into our first date we both knew we would get married. We dated for 8 months before we got engaged and got married 11 weeks later. It's 11 years this month!

    Hang in there - I had a few engagements fall through and thank heavens they did!

    Its possible my hubby passed away leaving me a single mother of 4 at 26 years old! I met my current husband soon after my hubby passed but we were just friends until recently when we started to date and eventually marry. I remarried last year at 33 and had twins 7 months ago. It will happen when the time is right and when you aren't looking.

    sad to hear about your first husband....but super romantic story in the end.

    I am a divorced mom of 2 kids, and lately I find myself wondering if I truly can/will ever meet someone new that will be right for me...

    so, I want to see it's possible... tell me your story.

    You are so young.... Plenty of time to find that passion!

    My wife and i first met back in '94. We both worked for the same company at the time, and so the story goes, she wanted to "see my tattoo ( i had just the panther's head at the time), since she had one herself. We eventually hung out a bit, and then went as BF/GF, got engaged on Christmas Eve of '95, married in August of '97, had our son in 2001, and then our daughter in 2005. Our 15th wedding anniversary was this past August 31st, but we're celebrating it this month because things came up, and had to postpone plans to go to Foxwood Casino in Connecticut. So this month we're going to make our contribution to the casino instead.

    Early 2005 she was 19 and I was 24. We met through an online game we played together daily as online bff's for the next four years. We both had serious crushes on each other but since we were so far apart we didn't pursue one and other romantically until the fall of 2008 I started telling her every day that I wanted to come to Florida and visit her. Finally spring 2009 she agreed to let me visit. We first met face to face May 2009, I stayed with her for two weeks. Then went back to Texas after three long months I moved. We got married May 2010 exactly one year after our first meeting I was 30 she was 24.
