To say my February 1983 wish came true 😊

Back in Feb 1983 I had a MASSIVE crush on a lad - I knew my mum wouldn’t like him even back then as he’s working class ! 😮 - and she was a snob!!

Anyway I’m pleased to confirm that we got to know each other, made a connection, and now in 2025 I’m pleased to say he’s the most important person in my life 😊 - my raison d’etre !!

we overcame the odds - I love my ‘Working Class Hero’ ❤️❤️

Just for context in February 1983 Kajagoogoo were no 1 with ‘Too Shy’.

So what were you doing in Feb 1983??!

I can’t believe that me, the shy, awkward unhappy girl in Feb 1983 - well my dream came true ! ❤️

I was studying for my O'levels....and wondering how I could get Simon Le Bon to marry me....

I’m grinning from ear to ear for you op.

I was in love for the first time in 1983 - we were 6 and he didn’t even know I existed. Grew up to be a knobhead though so no regrets there 😂

In 1983 I was in my first year of primary school.
My husband was working in a Bank and 18. I always find that the weirdest thing about an age gap marriage- thinking about him being an adult when I was literally an infant!!!

But he is a wonderful man and my dream came true as well. Albeit not one I had in 1983!!

I was rolling around in my mother's womb.

But congratulations, hope you're very happy.

So what were you doing in Feb 1983??!

I was an infant so some combination of sleeping/shitting/feeding, I'd imagine.

Congratulations, OP.
