Its not quite as bad as it sounds - we had known each other for 3 yrs- been at Uni together and been friends in that we hung round with the same group of people but didnt really like each other for most of the 3 yrs then suddenly we clicked, we got to now each other better as friends then went out and before I knew it we were engaged and planning a wedding.
We had to wait 12mths to get married as I was going to Chester to do a PGCE and he was finishing his degree in Yorkshire.
We' re still together after 26 yrs - dont know how hes put up with me for so long
