    Ive never been engaged or married!!! Have 2 children (same dad) and must admit, when we split up, i was glad we hadnt got married, it wouldve been more hassle to get divorsed.

    I got engaged at 26 and will get married 6 days after my 27th Birthday! I wanted it to be the day before my Birthday but my friend put the kibosh on that by having to run an opera that day and begging me to have it on a different day!

    Himself was 29 when he proposed in Tesco's car park, but will be 30 when we get married.
    Comping, freebieing and trying to pay the mortgage off early!

    I was 18 when I moved in with DH, 19 when we started going out together, 20 when I got engaged and 21 when I got married. We celebrated our third anniversary a fortnight ago.

    I love reading about youngsters getting engaged as it is proof that you are never too young to have a successful marriage (my friends would suggest otherwise)

    OH, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.... read the thread and weep (on your way to the diamond shop :D )

    Maybe too subtle an approach...? :D
