Met dh at age 17, moved in together at 19, married at 25, had ds at age 27!

(dh is same age as me btw)

I knew DH for 18 weeks when we got married, we were married for 15 months when DS was born, took another 4 years for us to get the courage to go for no.2, and I am now 33 weeks pregnant with the result of that bright idea!!

Met July 1995 he had g/f so I stayed back. She was a model and younger than me too so that put me off a bit.

Him and g/f finished, we got together Nov 95, married June 1996.....
