Dad was 18 (almost 19), Mom was barely 18.
Marrried 54 years now.
They were sweethearts since age 8. When Mom was 9, her older sister dated his older brother. Somehow the subject of marriage came up. Mom turned to my future grandmother and said "Mrs. Kerr, I'll take Jim off your hands."

My dd1 had a little "boyfriend" when we lived in western NY. They were about 9 when we moved away from there. His parents and i used to talk about being related some day. They still think about each other and eamil occasionally. We haven't been back there in 1.5 yrs but I talk to the mom sometimes.

I think my dad was 28 and my mom was over 30, maybe 33 or something. She was also a few inches taller than my dad, and so she wore white satin scuffs (bedroom slippers) for the wedding. My dad wore regular shoes, and they look about the same height in the pictures. This was right after WWII. I know that's more than what you asked for, but, I felt like sharing.

Oh, and they were happily married until my dad died in 1978. They were married almost exactly 37 yrs. Mom died on Jan 3, 2000. I miss them both, but will be happy to see them in Heaven.

Mom was 17 and dad was 20. Their divorce was final around their 15th anniversary.
Mom has had four divorces. Two of those marriages lasted less than two years. I never met or spoke to one of her husbands. I think I saw a picture of him once. He was her second husband. I wish that she would've stayed married to dad or her third husband.
Dad is married to his third wife. I didn't get along with his second wife. They weren't even married six months. He has been married to his third wife for about 2 years. She's awesome!

Both of my parents were born in 1956 and married in 1975. So that would make them around 19. They were married for 23 years, divorced, lived apart for a year, lived back together for five years and then separated again. Dad remarried nine months before he passed away. Mom lives with her boyfriend but is not remarried yet. I was married 3 years before my first hubby went to prison. And now married to my second for almost 10 months. Wow, all that for one question!!lol

Mom was 16. Dad was 22.
They met as a result of a fender-bender. Both were witnesses. My mother took one look at my dad, turned to her friend and said, "I'm going to marry that man".
They'll be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this fall.
