    We were engaged at 19 and married when we were 21. Our first child was a honeymoon baby! We've been married for nearly 18 years and have four wonderful children.
    I would if I could but I can't so I won't!
  • Engaged at 26 after going out for 10 years, married at 26 - 8 weeks after getting engaged!

    I was 21 when we got engaged (had known each other just over a week) got married 9 months later (and NO I was not pregnant:D ). That was 13 year and 2 littles ago!

    I cannot explain it really but I knew straight away he was the one. I had always had a feeling like something was missing but when we got together I felt whole (sorry but "you complete me" Jerry Mcquire moment:p )
