30 Stories From Lucky Couples Who Married The First Person They Dated

8. I am 50 and my wife is 49, we met when we were 10 and married at 18. I can be a fairly high strung guy, I’ve always had some form of anxiety. The first time I met her I instantly noticed I wasn’t jittery or anxious. When she left the anxiety and jitters returned. I was in 7th grade, sitting in math class and was having a horrible day. In the midst of my constant frustration I look up and she in the hallway waving me out. I get my hall pass, we walk around the to “blind” corner and she kissed me for the first time! I was shocked and she said, “I been waiting for the perfect time. I don’t know why but right now felt like the perfect time.”

She skipped back to class, after school I told her I was going to marry her because she makes me happy.

9. I met my husband in 1st grade, started dating when we were 14, and got married at 19. This May makes 9 years married.

Anyway, we just always clicked with each other and got along very well. Instead of growing apart like most kids do, we grew together. He’s a very kind man who has always been there for me. Even as teenagers, we never had a reason to break up because we got along so well. To this day, he is my very best friend. I can’t imagine anyone better than him.
