I was 21, nearly 22. Am 30 now and been married for 8 years, mostly happily

Chatting about it at work, and I looked at the single 22/23 year olds and thought, christ I was married at that age, and how young they seem.

They all say I was far to young to be married. I've never even thought about it like that tbh.

How about you?

LOL Edam, yes that's how I feel, marriage is for grown ups and I'm so not a real grown up!

I was 25 when I got married.
Met dh when I was 17, had dd1 at 20 got married at 25. Now have dd2 as well.

I find myself looking at people I work with who are my age or slightly younger and single and thinking, I was a mother at your age, or I was married at your age. makes me feel old sometimes.

CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou · 09/10/2006 11:23

I was 29, he was 35

We met when I was 25, got engaged on my 26th birthday. I was sulking because he hadn't bought me a card or present, but apparently he had been planning to ask me for a while but in amongst all the planning he forgot to buy me a birthday card .

We have now been married 3 years. DD was born three days before our first wedding anniversary. We've been together for 7 years.
