I was 22, he was 28. We've been together for 12 years and married for 9 in August.

StirlingTheStrong · 07/05/2009 18:04

I was 18, he was 13! Met at his house (I had just started working with his sister). Didn't think much of him then.

Years went by, friend moved to London and I used to go and visit and sometimes met the little brother, who was now 6ft and really nice to talk to.

We started visiting each other more and then married when he was 23 and I was 28.

Marriage a bit of a mess now but it used to be good!

At a party
We were 22

been together for 24 yrs

piximon · 07/05/2009 19:05

at a nightclub (the Venue in NewCross). I was 16 he was 18. We were friends for some years before getting together.

We'd always had a pact we'd go off and live our lives a bit then hook up when we were "old" and ready to settle down. I've revised my idea of old a fair bit now!

We've been married for almost 6 years and have 5dcs together.

Doha · 07/05/2009 19:26
