How old were you when...

[thecolourofpeas]

You got married/found the one?

Had kids? (if any)

Thanks,

From a panicked 29 singleton.

Meant to add that on my 29th birthday I was depressed suddenly "realising" that I would be single for the rest of my life. Picked myself up and made the decision to go on another round the world trip before going to work in Zimbabwe. Booked flights ready etc. for the following year. But before the year was ended, I had met my now dh, and made the decision to cancel/postpone the trip. Got engaged a year later. Very pleased I waited.

38 and 41 for my dc. I'm 46 now. Never married. Single now after kicking their idiot father out a while ago.

Panic not.

Met 'the one' at 19
Married at 27
Baby at 30.

Married at 22, LTB at 32, then married again at 34. First kid at 34.

Met at 32
Married at 35

Still no kids but we're trying.

But the best thing was when I met him I KNEW he was the one and this was because we were old enough to know ourselves properly. There were no silly games, just a recognition that we were right for each other. 3 year anniversary coming up soon and we still feel like newlyweds. Meeting and marrying 'later' can be a really good thing. Don't panic!

Met on my 27th birthday, the day I had given up on my ideal of being married by 30. Engaged one year later, married the next (made it by 30!). 16 weeks pregnant with first now (31) after 2+ years of ttc and first time IVF/ICSI.

And we met in a club on my birthday night out!!!

Met at 30
Married at 38
First DC two months later

Met at 20, married at 23, had DS at 23 ( DS came 2 months before the wedding!)

Found the one? Met at 16, started a relationship at 18.

Got married? 25 (this coming August).

Had kids? 23.

But I know many who have had kids/met their do later so don't fret! If you just let life come at you they'll come when you least expect it - cheesy but very true!

Twice married. First at 22, then at 35. 12 year old ds, and dd of 18.

Met my future husband at 27. Got married at 33 and had first child at 34 :)

Met at 16
Married at 25
First DC at 29, second at 31

Met at 30
Married at 32
Kids at 34 and 37

I don't believe in "the one", though. There's lots of people out there and no reason to believe there's just one "soulmate" for each of us.

Engaged and first baby at 17
2nd at 20
No longer engaged 6 months after
Engaged and 3rd baby 22
4th baby due soon and 25 now.

That makes me sound absolutely terrible! Was with exdp 5 years. Whirlwind romance with current DP but he's my best friend!

Met at 29,
DCs at 32 and 36
CP at 37 with our 3 lovely kids as bridesmaids / page boy
Finally getting proper married this year
Do not panic, you are not old. Depends who you know obviously but in my circles everyone had kids mid to late 30s or 40s (I was first!)

Met at 12
Dated from 16 -19
Met again at 33
Married at 34
Had ds at 34

Met at 32.
Married at 35.
Now pregnant at 35.

Can I just add that I stayed in a crappy relationship for way longer than I should have done because I was worried I wouldn't meet anyone better. Finally broke it off...and met the man who became my DH shortly after. Have faith that it will work out as it's meant to.

Got together 27
Married 32
