How old were you when you got married?

NC'd just in case anyone can identify me with previous posts.

I was 20 when I first got married, divorced at 23 and I'm about to get married for the second time at the age of 26. For various reasons, I don't really count my first marriage as a marriage, as we were not husband and wife in any sense of the words, it was a horrific relationship to be in (for me). So I feel like I'm getting married for the first time, even though it's not technically true. How old were you when you got married? Smile

26 by 2 days! Dh was 29. Married 25 years, together 27. Still very happy.

37, now 57 but mid divorce. We are talking again and things are looking good for us cancelling that. We have a shed load of issues to sort out but I’m hoping we can, time will tell.

my parents were 17 and 19 and still going strong for 63 years.

31, we had been together for close to 11 years before we got married. No real reason why we waited so long, just busy doing other things like traveling.

Judellie · 08/07/2024 13:25

I was 31, he was 33. Still together 23 years later

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 08/07/2024 13:34

37, separated at 40, 15 years together (3 of those married).

There's very few things I regret in life, but getting married is one of them.
