Met my first love when I was 15, he was 22. We lived together for 7 years, wee married for 6, had two children. Been divorced for 22 years now, but still really good friends.
My youngest met her fiance when she was 15 at work experience!!! He was 24 (though not to look at - I thought he was 18) They've been together for 10 years, and we bought her wedding dress today!!!

Oh - and he still looks 18!!!

I had quite a few boyfriends...nothing serious, though. Met oh when I was 15, saw him around and about for a year.... started going out with him when I was 16 and knew within days he was *the one*... engaged two months after starting to go out together, married at 17 1/2, still married and it is 36 + years married for us. We had a wonderful day in 2000, when we re-took our wedding vows in St David's Cathedral, Pembrokeshire. I still love him to bits!!

Love

yep am prepared for it will see what happens after they start college.

Can see them together for ages though and he is such a nice lad and really good for her and does tell her when she has overstepped the mark with us, as all teenagers do try to do.

love at first sight for both of us - first serious relationship for both of us, engaged six months later, National Service intervened - than married for 43 years and then sadly he died nearly six years ago - life will never be the same ever again but at least I have lovely memories to treasure until I pop my clogs too
