Your age: 31
Partners age: 31

Age met: Both 25

How did you meet: In early 2008 - he was a grad student finishing up in the same department I was starting a postdoc in.

First date: May 9, 2008. We knew he was leaving at the end of the summer to start a postdoc on the other side of the country, so we were planning on a summer romance without any commitment, and kept it on the down low in the department.

Made it official: November 16, 2009. After a year of calls/visits/emails, we made the long-distance east-coast/west-coast thing official. Then I moved to California in March 2010 and we were only an hour apart.

Moved in together: Unofficially, March 2011, when he broke his leg badly and needed around-the-clock care. Officially, May 2011 when I gave up my lease and moved into his apartment.

Engagement: May 5th, 2012.

Wedding: June 8 and July 14, 2013.

TTC: February 2014!! Given that a bunch of things seemed to have happened in May over the years (didn't realise until just now, writing it all down!), maybe that's when we'll fall pregnant?!

.

Your age: 26
Partners age: 29
Age met: 19/22
How did you meet: We were both volunteers at the Winterfest concert in Lynchburg, VA for New Year 2006/2007
First date: I kind of ruined it. He asked me to a movie, and I didn't know it was supposed to be a date so I invited a friend along. I was a bit oblivious.... He was such a good sport about it though, and even offered to pay for her ticket too.
Made it official: Valentine's Day, 2007. This was also our ACTUAL first date (he made it clear in advance this time it was intended to be a date). He picked me up in the morning for my college classes and had a box of chocolates, roses, and a teddy bear waiting for me. That evening, he took me to a movie, a nice dinner, and then out for dessert at Coldstone, where he asked if we could make it official. This also happened to be my first real date, ever.
Moved in together: The day we got married.
Engagement: He proposed at midnight on New Year's 2009/2010 at the Winterfest concert in the same spot that we met with my entire family present while my favorite band (Skillet) was playing. Yeah, he did good. Winterfest is kind of a tradition for us now.
Wedding: It was a small (family only) garden wedding at The Carlyle House in Old Town Alexandria, VA April 30, 2012.
TTC/ Plan to ttc #1: Good question. If it were up to just me, we would already be TTC.

TTC/ Plan to ttc #1: We started TTC in May 2013 and were blessed to fall pregnant in the third cycle. We've been together 10 years, married 6. Hoping to start TTC #2 when this one is a little over 2 so there is a 3 year age gap.

[apreslaube]

I tried to do this earlier but messed up and everything got deleted. Bleh.

Your age: I am 26
Partners age: He is 27. We are actually a year and 3 days apart
Age met: I was 24.
How did you meet: We actually met on OKCupid. He sent me a message on there simply saying "I like you!" It was really cool because literally a day or two before that I had decided to stop "looking" for a guy and asked God to just lead me where He wanted me to be. Anyway, we talked for about a week online and on the phone before deciding to meet up.
First date: He met me with my friends at this thing called First Fridays. It's a monthly event in Phoenix where all the downtown art galleries open up. Cute trolleys take you around, food trucks are out, people set up booths for their homemade goods and whatnot. It's a neat place to go. It was actually raining that night. It went pretty well
Made it official: I don't think we really had an official thing like that. However, we knew maybe after a couple weeks that we would be getting married. Friends and family knew that we were "meant to be."
Moved in together: We actually moved in about 3 months before getting married out of necessity. Another milestone - we waited till the wedding night to have sex .
Engagement: We were already engaged, but we made it official on February 16 of 2013 at Olive Garden . Even though I knew he was going to ask (he was so nervous), I still cried when he gave me the ring. LOL the waiter was like "what.. why are you crying? what did you do!"
Wedding: It was December 8, 2012
TTC/ Plan to ttc #1: We are planning to TTC our first (and last -God willing -adoption) baby September 2013
