How old were you when you felt ready for marriage? And how long had you been with your partner?

Just curious Grin

Married at 25, we'd been together a little over a year. I don't know when I first felt ready for marriage though, DH was the only fool man to ask me to marry him.

First time round was engaged at 22, married at 24, divorced at 29, way too young.

I was 31 when we got married, but 30 when I felt ready for it and when we got engaged.

Meant to add first time round we'd been together 2 years when we got engaged.

This time we got married on our second anniversary.

We'd been together for 22 months when we got married, engaged for 14 of those! Wedding day was the day before my 21st. Right from the start of the relationship we knew where it was heading - neither of us was looking for anything less than forever! Boak 5 years on & we're preparing for DC2's arrival next year! Smile
