2006 and I was 31. We'd been together 7 years prior to that.

GirlOfThe70s · 11/10/2024 10:21

42 in 1996.
My mother was 17 when she got married in 1936.

24 in 1991

Cynic17 · 11/10/2024 10:23

24 in 1990. I'd be horrified at the thought of anyone getting married so young now, but it was the norm back then.

24 in 1984. Our Ruby wedding anniversary coming up.

mondaytosunday · 11/10/2024 10:23

2002, 40.

ohtowinthelottery · 11/10/2024 10:24

1988 at 24

Chenanceau · 11/10/2024 10:24

2011, 38. I can't imagine having been married in my 20s. I know a couple of friends who did that, but not many. Most were early 30s.

stanleypops66 · 11/10/2024 10:26

Age 26, 2009. Married 15 years

CoastalCalm · 11/10/2024 10:27

2012 we were both 40

ruby1234 · 11/10/2024 10:27

19 in 1985.
Still married to the same person.
No, I wasn't pregnant!

  1. in 1984

Been together since I was 18

Still my best friend 😊

MovingTooFast121 · 11/10/2024 10:33

25 in 2018… much earlier than most of my friends, most of whom aren’t married now in our early 30s.

fussychica · 11/10/2024 10:34

1979 me 22 him 21. Been together from school. Still very happily married.

loveydoveyloon · 11/10/2024 10:37

20 & 28 & never again

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 11/10/2024 10:38

We got married in 2022 and I was 24. We’ve been together since I was 18.

CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan · 11/10/2024 10:40

1996, and I was 22. Still married.

Trinity65 · 11/10/2024 10:40

Just turned 25. 1990

ComtesseDeSpair · 11/10/2024 10:46

Last year - I was 37, DH was 45. Of our large social circle, everyone in similar age bracket, we’re only the second couple to get married - so your 30 doesn’t seem “old” to marry to me at all!

EggandStress · 11/10/2024 10:48

53 in 2022 😊

GameOfJones · 11/10/2024 10:49

I was 28 and DH was 30 which feels like a pretty average age to get married. Definitely not old and not too young. We'd been together since early 20s. Still going strong!

lifebyfaith · 11/10/2024 10:51

2002 in early 20s.

It didn't last long thank goodness.

kittylion2 · 11/10/2024 10:52

Age 24 in 1980 (divorced 2003, never married since).

RaraRachael · 11/10/2024 10:52

I got married at 22 in 1984. That was about the average age back then. My sister wasn't married until 29 and my mother was terrified that she'd never be married or that "people would think she was a lesbian"

My daughter finds it hard to believe that I got engaged at 21 to somebody I didn't love just because I was scared that nobody else would ask me.

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 11/10/2024 10:55

2017, both had just gone 30. Most of my friends got married 2/3 years before aged 27/28
