    I was 18 and he was 17. We had been together for about 4 months. We were married when we were 19 and 18. No, we're not still together, but we were married for 21 years.

    I was 21, he was 23 when we got married.
    I knew him for about 9 months and we dated for about 7.
    We never got formally engaged, we just started talking about what we would do "when we got married."
    Our 20th wedding anniversary will be in August.

    He's my best friend. :heart:

    This might really throw off your results... We met when she was 21 and I was 24. We can't get married because it's not legal in our state. Been together for 18 wonderful years and I wouldn't change a moment of it!

    Round #1 - Got engaged at 19 after 6 months together. Got married a year and a half later at age 20. Was unhappy for 10 years until he left.

    Round # 2 - Got engaged at age 32 after a year together. Got married two weeks later. We are on the brink of our 6th anniversary. Have honestly never been happier in my life. :)

    Me and my husband got engaged about about 6 weeks... I was 18.
    We got married when we had been together just over 2 years. I was 20
    We've now been married just over 2 years and I'm 23 :)
