    Engaged at 24 after a year, married at 28, this year it will be 20 years married! Yippee!! Still going strong.
  • We knew each other since we were babies - our dads worked together and when his mum got pregnant with him, his dad told my dad as soon as she told him!!! I was just 20 when he proposed (he was 22) and it completely blew my socks off. had known him all my life and just had no idea when he'd fallen for me or that he even had!! I turned him down and to cut a long story short, a year later I proposed to him, we were married 6 weeks after that. It's been 11 years and we have three children, we are still very much in love and in this for life:-)

    I was 22 when I became engaged. We had only known each other for about 6 months, but I knew he was the one. We were married when I was 23 and he was 24. We will have been married for 40 years on May 5, 2012. I told you he was the one. :)

    Let's see. I "met" Rob late 1998 on the Usenet newsgroup dfw.singles. We met in person at a newsgroup New Year's Eve party, then again at a party in late January. Went out on a date 2/6/1999 and have been together ever since.

    First date: Feb. 1999 - I was 32, he was 27
    Engaged: Jan 1 2000 - I was almost 33, he was 28
    Married: Apr 29 2001 - I was 34, he was 29

    We moved in together some time in May 99 I think, and had been together for 11 months I guess when we got engaged. But we had known for a while that this was going to be it.

    So, we've been together for 13 years, and married for 11. :love:

    We met at the end of March 1997, had our first date 1st April 1997, married 4th October 1997 (I was 22, he was 26 and we had known each other a little over 6 months).

    3 children and 15 years later and we are still together and probably happier now than we have ever been.
  • I was 28 when I met him, he was 42. We married 2 years later after a 6 month engagement. We will celebrate our 24th anniversary this year.
  • How old were you when you got engaged? 40
    How long had you been together before getting engaged? 5 years and not living together

    Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Very much together and happy after 10 1/2 years of marriage.
  • I got engaged at age 20, after being with him for about eight months. We got married about a month and a half after that. <3 We've been married for a week and a half! :) (John and I moved in together two weeks into the relationship!)

  • My husband and I met in May of 2007 at the burial of my best friend's mother. Yep....my best friend is his cousin. Anyway...I was 26, he was 44. We became engaged when I was 29, June 2010. We married September 2011 and are withstanding all that life throws at us! Even with the age difference, which some people have a really hard time accepting.

    We got engaged when I was 29 and he was 24 we got married the same year. We had been together for 3 years. We have been together for 19 years.
    I had been married previously, married at 21 together for 6 years at that point and marriage lasted 5 years. So, 11 years total relationship. Too young....

    I met my husband June 13, we were engaged August 6, and we were married September 12. This was all in 1997, it happened pretty fast! We are still very happily married almost 14 and a half years later with two kids. He was 24 and I was 18 at the time.
