    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

    I was 20 and my husband was 23 when we got engaged. We were together for 4 years and 3 months before we got engaged and we were engaged for 6 months, so I was 21 and he was still 23 when we got married. We've been married for 8 wonderful months :)

    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. :)

    I was 23 when we got engaged. We had been together for 3.5 years or so. I was 25 when we got married. We are still together; we've been married for about 6 months now.

    My husband was 29 when we got engaged, and 30 (just barely not 31) when we got married.
