Re: Stolen from TIP
Met: both 24 (I turned 25 about a week after we met)
Engaged: me 26, H 25
Married: both 26
We met when I was 21 and he was 18. Started dating when I was 21 and he was a month shy of 19. Engaged at 22/19, married at 22/19, two months before he left for MC Basic. We've been married almost 7 months now.
Truth be told, I wanted to wait, but he was insistent on getting married before he left. I think he was worried that they would talk him out of wanting to be with me (apparently they are very anti-marriage in the first term, and probably rightly so). I went ahead with it because I knew we loved each other and I decided to just cross my fingers and hope that that and what little good sense we had between us would make it work. (For the record, if anyone came to me with this scenario I would absolutely tell them not to do it). The first month or so was hell, honestly, and we almost wound up splitting up before he left. We decided to try to make it work, and I honestly can't say what happened, but our marriage is amazing now. *knock on wood*. I feel very lucky that we managed as far as we have and very grateful that we decided to try to stick it out. It's early days yet but I feel like everything is going to be okay.
Wow that was a long post. Sorry.
