I was 19, he was 27. We fell in love after several months of distance dating (he is army).

We met in August 2009, we starting dating in December '09, got engaged May 2010 (I was then 20, he was 28), married in September 2010.

We are still happily married, it hasn't been daisies and butterflies he whole way, but no marriage is because we are not a perfect people. We've Bowen to stick through anything though- that's what we believe marriage is for.

We are currently going through a year-long deployment. We just reached the halfway point, and let me tell you, it is the hardest thing we have had to do. Hopefully it'll be the hardest thing we ever do

Great thread!

I met Tim when I was 20. I don't remember meeting him! (I wasn't drunk, I worked in a pub and couldn't possibly remember meeting all my customers).

We started seeing each other when I was 20, and I still have the (now empty) bottle of Malibu he got me for my 21st. He turned 26 not long after we met.

We moved in together in June 2009 after about 2.5 years, and he proposed on the 13th of March 2010 - so nearly 3.5. We never really had an anniversary of getting together as we kind of fell into a relationship, but it's basically been five years from getting together to getting married. I just turned 26 last week and Tim is 31 and 2 months old.

I realise nobody asked for this level of detail...!

I met Alex when I was 20 and he was 22. We're now 26 and 28, respectively, and we've lived together for 4.5 years with a family consisting of a demented tuxedo cat who eats my cardigans, a Russian blue who dislikes most everyone except us, and a greyhound cross who's scared of her own shadow.

Animals aside, it hasn't been all sunshine and roses. I don't think either of us was particularly grown-up for our ages when we met (despite what we thought at the time), so we've had to work through a lot of growing pains together. But we love each other, quite fiercely, so we're willing to fight for it when we have to.

Hello

This sounds silly but my husband and I have had a crush on each other since the 6th grade! We would flirt and kind of had a secret relationship in elementary school! Then I moved away for middle and most of high school & we reconnected again when I was 16. We have been together ever since & I couldn't be any happier. He'[s my little elementary school sweetheart! Now we are excepting our first son beginning of next year & we are planning a holiday vacation and our lives together! I feel like its a fairy tale story lol.

I met Tom when I was 19 and he was 20, and it's been 2 years now. He's definitely my soulmate!

I'm only 15 and I have never ever been with anybody.. Though I wish I will be.. *sighs* ah well... Happy for all of you who found your other half's.

We were first introduced when I was 22 (not long before I turned 23) and I was 24 when we actually got together.

But we had been around each other and walked past each other at dance comps for years before that... there is a photo of him with me in the background from when I was 16. And we were sitting on adjacent tables at a competition when I was 21, just never actually spoke.

I met him when I was 21. I had just moved cross country and wasn't very happy about it. The first conversation was mostly bantering. I thought he was cocky at first.
Got to know him as a friend only over the next several months (I did NOT have marriage in mind, or as a goal).
We started liking each other and dating before we both even knew it. Others around us knew...
Broke off for a few months to reasess since I didn't have in mind marriage. That didn't last long. Got back together and was engaged at 22.5 with him. Married at 23.
He ended up being the love of my life before I knew it!
Very happily married for over 3 years now. he was my very first boyfriend

My husband and I met when I was 16 and he was 17 then turned 18. We started dating when I turned 19 and became engaged a year later. We got married in 2209 and have been married ever since with a little girl that just turned one. I couldn't live without him!

I was 21 and everything just seemed to click. Just planning the wedding and couldn't be happier.

thought i was almost there a few times, but still looking and trying to stay hopeful

Well, we met when we were 14, but I didn't fall in love with him until several years later. We met in grade 9 when 2 of our friends were dating. We started dating seriously when we were 20. I knew he was the love of my life at 24 We have been married for 8.5 years now.

i feel so old and single...haha.

Uhm, 26 and haven't met him yet.

I'm sleeping with an incredibly hot physio...that makes up for it, right?

right?

I was 25, he was 29. We've been together for 4 years, married for 1 1/2 year.

I met Kyle when I was about 16/17 and our groups of friends merged. We didn't really start paying much attention to each other though until the time around my 18th birthday. We are now both 20 and will celebrate our 2 year anniversary in a month. We talk a lot about the future and plan to move in together when I've finished uni in about 18 months time. Then we'll take it from there... All I will say now is that I've never loved anyone like I love him and I'm pretty sure he feels the same.
