I'm using the number after the decimal to indicate months after my birthday.

For some reason, she puts up with my shenanigans.

Same hometown, same church, etc growing up so I've known who she was forever. She's a little younger, so we really hung out/met for the first time when I was 21.

First date: 25
Married: 26

We've been married for almost 13 years now and I completely out kicked my coverage. I can't imagine life without her. Great wife, great mother, outstanding person, and an absolute blast to hang around with.

Met when I was 23 and she was 19 at ISU band camp.
Started dating a year later (24) after making out at a band party at my house. (We're going to just tell the kids we met in band.)
Married at 25
First son right before I turned 28
Second son a few months before I turned 30.
Will be celebrating 8 years of marriage in December.

My next anniversary may be my last. It is up to her, really, to decide if she wants to invest in the relationship. She knows I am in.

Good times :jimlad:

Just curious. I'm a serial monogamist and not rushing down the aisle. I met my boyfriend (I'm a lady!) at 21. We've been dating for almost three years.

Also, if you're married, how old were you when you attached yourself to your ball and chain?

met i believe when i was 29? shoot, engaged in 3 months, married in a year, now 34.
