Wow! You were younger than me when you met! It makes me slightly less ashamed of the fact that I first met my guy when I was 15 and he was 21. :P I was a rather precocious 15 year old... since I had already been online, chatting and doing web/tech stuff for 3 years then. I met him in an IRC chatroom (not the sordid kind -- it was DALnet #philosophy). I knew that way back then I wouldn''t meet anyone else I''d feel as strongly about again, just because after that I had a much too cynical attitude about love (I overanalyzed it far too much). Lots of ups and downs over the years, but really there is no one else I''m closer to, and when you grow up together it''s hard to let that go.
 
Start dating - Me: 22 Him: 25
Engaged - Me: 27 Him: 29
Married - Me: 27 Him: 30 (We had a 6.5 month engagement... I wanted to move it along quickly!)
 
Engaged: both 20 (by one month); Married: both 21 (one month shy of 22). Soooo almost engaged 2 years. BUT Young, young, YOUNG to get married. I don''t necessarily sanction my path! Coming up to the 20th wedding anniversary on 12/23. Good times!

It definitely all depends on how old you are when you meet. My parents were married less than a year after they met at age 25, and they will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this year. My brother and his wife dated for 8 years before marrying at age 28. My sister and her husband dated for a couple of years and were married at 26 and 31 (his second marriage).
 

Looking at the other posts... I feel old!!

But here's my info!



Engaged this year (I was 30, he was 34) right before our birthdays
Married next year (I will be 32, he will be 36)

 
Met/started dating when we were 17 (me) and 21 (him), got engaged at 18 and 22, married at 19 and 23. Statistics (and common sense

) say we shouldn''t have made it, but we are at 16.5 years now. Our oldest daughter is almost 15, and it''s absolutely *inconceivable* to me that she''s so close to the age I was when I met her dad. Yikes!

Met- me=27, he=28
engaged- me=29, he=30
married- me=29, he=30

We had a 10 month engagement and we got married the day before my 30th b-day and 2 days before his 31st b-day.
I am the same age as him one day a year and I love that our anniversary and b-days will always sort of fall on Memorial Day weekend- more reason to celebrate and to get a really nice (hopefully shiny, like a diamond not a toaster!) gift!
 
Engaged at 33/37
Married at 33/38

I turned 34 two weeks after the wedding (he turned 38 two weeks before -- our anniversary is smack dab between the two)

But yeah, I do feel like an "older" bride here!
 
Met: (me) 15, (him) 17

Engaged @ 23, 24
Married @ 24, 25
Parents @ 27, 28

Coming this October we will have been together for 25 years!!! Married for 16 years.
 
Let''s see...

We met in college.
I was 20 and he was 21 when we got engaged.
When we got married, he had just turned 23, and I was just shy of 22.

12.5 years and 3 kids later, life is still good.
 
we got engaged just a few days before I turned 21 and married a month later.... he was 19.
 
Well...we must be the old ones here...

1st engagement/marriage: I was 21 met / married at 22 and he was 29 met/ married 30. That marriage ended after 18 years, but we are still great friends!

This time: met/engaged: me 41/44 and he was 49/51.

We will be married this year in Sept and I will be one week shy of 45 and he will be 52!

Cheers!
