      I was 25 and my wife 26 when we married. We met in college and dated for 3 years before getting engaged. We were engaged about 1 year and have been married for 21 years. For clarity's sake, that is my daughter with me in my profile picture

      We did it assbackward. Me and my hubby met 17 years ago. We lived together and had 3 children then finally got married 6 years ago. We were never formally engaged and we will likely never divorce....we've been through way too much for that. :)
