    Got together September 1987 (me 15, he 17)
    Got engaged December 1987

    20 years later were still engaged today :eek: Oh well!! we may not be married but at least were not apart.

    We have 2 daughters 18 and 16. I also have a eternity ring, we just missed the gold band out. To be honest i think getting married would be a bit scary.

    I feel like the odd one out. I'm 28, boyfriend is 33, been together 2 1/2 years and neither of us has any interest in engagements or marriage. We both think we're far too young and would drive each other mad if we spent every day together! :rotfl:

    Started going out - May 1995 - age 18
    Engaged - February 1996 - age 19
    DD1 born - April 1996 - age 19
    Married - April 1998 - age 21
    DD2 born - 2001 - age 25

    Together 12 years, married 9 years. Absolutely found my soulmate and life partner, love him to bits. Happy as ever x:D

    we had only been going out 2 months when we got pregnant, but we took on the responsibility and matured beyond our years! Got the debt to prove it but you know things have drastically improved for us over the past year, moved to a new area and things are great.
    sorry i am waffling on now:rotfl:
  • I got engaged at 21 after 5 weeks together and married just after I turned 23. Celebrating 15 years of marriage this year :)

    Aw, McSaver- there isn't any rush- get out there and see the world while you're still young and have no ties. There's plenty time to meet your other half.:D
