Ages when engaged and married

[Selkie]

Count me in the 30+ group. We got engaged last New Year''s Eve, when I was 33 and he was 40, and will be married next July (after a 19 month engagement) at ages 35 and 41 (nearly 42). He looks super young though, and people usually think he''s in his early 30''s.

 

[monarch64]

We met the year I was 24 and he was 31, got engaged 9 months later when he was 32 and I was 25 and got married when I was 26 and he had just turned 33...! 3.5 years later, and happily married!

 

[Kaleigh]

Got engaged when I was 23, he was 24. Got married 9 months later I was 24 and he was 25. We just celebrated our 20th anniversary.

Janinegirly, I bet you are not the oldest one on this board!!!! I have an 8 year old and was married before, if that gives you any clue to my age! But, it sure does seem like everyone is YOUNG now that I see ages written in black and white!

Well I''ve got you both beat, lol!

I''ll bet I''m the oldest LIW here! I am 45, he is 34. When we marry in March, I will be 46 and he will still be 34

Ok, so you are a little older than I am...BUT i''m so glad to see that I''m not the only one with a younger man! Not to highjack this thread, but how did you all meet and do you worry at all about the age difference? I am 8 years old than bf.

I'm the youngen of the group! That's OK tho!

We got engaged in August of this year when I was 20 and he was 21. We're getting married in August 2007 and I'll be (and currently am) 21 and FI will be 22.

Well.... until I posted. lol. We met at 14, started dating at 15, and got engaged when we were 19. Married this year when we were 20.

). We were engaged when I was 22 and he was 28, and we''ll be married next November, at ages 25 and 31 (almost 32).

 

[Dandi]

We met as many do these days - on an online dating site. I knew on the first date he was different! I worry more about the age difference than he does. When I see the numbers in writing I am kinda shocked, but when we are together age becomes insignificant. He looks older than 34, and I definitely look at least ten years younger than my age. It's kind of funny - I have a 24 almost 25 year old son, and people routinely assume he is my bf or husband! It doesnt bother him anymore and he's actually used to it, but the first time it happened he was 17, lol! He was mortified!!!

Hi- another 30-something here!

Our birthdays are just 3 days apart. So:

Met: 26 y/o

Engaged: 30 y/o

Married: 31 y/o (after a 14-month engagement).

 

[Hopes]

We started dating when he was 22 and I was 17. He''s 29 now, and I''m 23 in a week and half. We''re also engaged.

 

[Liquiddazi]

Kaleigh, Congrads on 20 years of marriage! There are not many of those around...

My boyfriend and I met when were were 15 & 14, or something around there. I''m two months older than him.

Started dating: Fall 2005, both 21
Intended engagement in the next 6 or so mths: We will be 22, I might have just turn 23. However, I am completely clueless about any of the engagement stuff of when it is going to happen. He likes me in the dark about this.
Wedding: Fall of 2007 or Spring of 2008.

We will see.

 

[fabcrab]

Hi there!

[ellaila]

Another thirtysomething here!

Met: New Year's Eve 03: me, 32; him, 30.
Engaged: April 06: me, 34; him, 32
Married: Sept. 06: me, 35; him 33

I'm so surprised at all the early-20s engagement/weddings I'm reading about! Almost all of my friends were late 20s/early 30s when they got married, so I thought that was more the "norm" these days. Shows what I know.

 

[Mara]

there was another thread like this a few months ago, lets see if i can remember what the ages were...hehe.

for me: met at 25. engaged at 28. married at 29.
he was 31 when we met, 34 when we got engaged, 35 when we got married.

ellaila..me too on the late 20's/mid 30's marriages...like 99% of people we all know got married a little later too. maybe it's a geographical thing? a lot of people here are really focused on careers until late 20s.

 

[jaysonsmom]

We were both 26 when we got engaged, and after a long 17 month engagement, dh had just 28 (I was still 27) when we got married.

We''re celebrating 7 lucky years of marriage with an upgrade!

 

[snlee]

Met - I was 17, he was 18.

[Miranda]

We met when I was 14 and he was 16. Started dating at 15 and 17. Engaged at 18 and 21. Married at 19 (almost 20) and 22. We are now 31 and 34.

 

[MINE!!]

OMG!!!! I was very young, very stupid.

First time I was engaged 19,(he, 20) married 20 (he 21,) we thought we knew it all and no one could tell us otherwise.. we were in love!!!

(MINE states with sarcasm, knowing it took me a long time to figure out what love was), had two kids, divorced,25...geez, I was such an idiot.

I am in the 30's group too. Second time I was engaged 30 (he 37), married 31 (he 3. Much smarter this time around.

[Larissa]

Started dating - 5 April 03.
Him = 19, me = 21.

Got engaged - 5 Oct 04 (1.5 years dating).
Him = 20, me = 22.

Got married - 5 April 06 (3 yrs dating, 1.5 yrs engaged).
Him = 22, me = 24.

We''re much younger than the average of the area in which we live, which is 32. This is in part due to immigration and having a long-distance relationship for 3 years.

 

[aprilcait]

I''m 23 and he is turning 24 this weekend. We were both 23 when we got engaged. We are getting married in May 2008, so we will both be 25 when we get married.
