I met and married my wife in nine weeks, 23 years ago. Many said it wouldn't last! Married on my birthday so a good reason not to forget my anniversary. I gained a very loving stepdaughter in the process as well. Adrian, Horsham
My husband and I met and decided to get married within a few months. We went to work in the morning, had to ask our companies for the afternoon off. Got married with two friends as witnesses and went to look after our friends' pub in the evening. What a party we had. Still married after fourteen years...Margery China, North Shields, Tyne and Wear
I met my husband when I was 19. We decided to get engaged a month later and got married four months after that! We have now been together for 17 years and have two kids - we couldn't be happier. We are best friends. We are very lucky that it has worked for us. It is hard work getting married so early and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone but when the combination is right and the two people have good intentions and are best friends rather than just madly in love, then it works. The mad love at the start calms down and the novelty fades but if you are best friends, you will always remain best friends...S Owen, UK
Met December 1964, engaged Easter 1965, married on June 12th 1965. I was 20 and my husband was 25. Everyone said it wouldn't last - less kind people said I must be pregnant but first babe came along in 1976 when we could afford it and here we are 43 years on, still happy as Larry. Both retired now and life is pretty good, just tottering by gently.Hazel, Wiltshire
