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

Then I got married at 42 and still married.

Married at 28, engaged at 26, together since 19. College sweethearts. Now we are 47 and 48.

I was 27. Still married now and I am 58. In fact, two days ago was our 31st wedding anniversary. We did our usual trick of both completely forgetting about it. 🤣

I'll speak to DH in a little while when he finishes work and we'll probably get a bottle of wine for tonight. 😃
