    bvig    September 2009   wedding in NJ

    We were 28 when we just got married but yesterday I was thinking I met him when I was 23!  So we've been in each others lives since shortly after graduating college.  How old were you when you met, not necessarily started dating, your FI/spouse

    I was 23 and he was 25 - when we get married, I'll be 25 and he'll be 27. Not too shabby, I guess? :-)

    I was 19, and my husband was 18 when we first met.  We ended up getting married at 24 and 22 (3 days before my husband turned 23) respectively.  :)

    I said 22... but I may have been 21... September 2007...born in 1986... someone want to figure that out for me? Must have been 21. Weird. He's 1.5 years older than me, so its not a huge age difference!

    I've known my FI since preschool.  We lived in a really small town so we grew up together, and our lives and families were pretty intertwined already.  So I got to skip the whole "meet the parents" things since I've known them forever already.  We didn't start dating though til a few years ago when I was 26yo.

    This sounds soooo bad...

    I was 19, he was 31. Ahhh! I lied to him about my age... I told him I was 23 when we first met and he already thought that was too young for him lol. I knew he was special & I also knew he wouldn't date me since I was almost jailbait. lol so I did what I had to do. After I told him the truth it took about a year of calling me a baby & making jokes about Chuck E Cheese before he got over it.

    He'll be 36 and I'll be 24 when we marry.

    bvig    September 2009   wedding in NJ

    My guess was going to be the majority would be more in the 22-25 range, I think it's really neat to have time to see each other mature and kinda grow together.

    @jocelyn3476 - Wow that's a long time to wait!  Glad it all worked out

    we met when i was 25, he was 29. we started dating a month later. i'll be 26 when we get married, and 27 a week later. we planned it like that, i'd rather not be 27 when i'm married. no offense to 27 year olds, i'm just having issues with aging.

    We met/started dating when we were both 18..spent all of college together and will be married shortly before we both turn 25. I think a lot of people meet their future spouses during their college years?

    We met when I was 23 and he was 28 and were 26 and 30 when we got married this summer (we're 4 1/2 years apart. He has a summer birthday and I have a winter)

    He proposed to me 3 days before his 30th birthday and would jokingly tell people that is was on his list of things to do before he turned 30 :)

    Minutiae    May 2011  

    Technically we met when I was about 16, he was 24. My sisters, future bro-in-law, future Mr. Minutiae and his fiancee at the time all went to see Finding Nemo together. We didn't actually realize the other person existed until last year though, when I was 20 and he was 28, at a Halloween party. Those few years made a world of difference in maturity and circumstances.

    He was 24 and I was 26.  We are 26 & 27 now.  I'll be 28 by the end of this year.

    We only dated for 14 months before we got engaged and then a 4.5 month engagement.
