We met two days before. Three months later we were engaged, a year after that we were married. No regrets.

Shit goes fast yo. Like Tom Waits says- Fall in love and get married then boom; How the hell did I get here so soon?

Coming up on 7 years married, probably about another 2 maybe 3 years together (she seems to think we were dating for a while before I realized it, I'm kind of dense)

We were friends for probably about another 2 or 3 years before that, and for probably about that long again before that we kind of recognized each other as friends-of-friends but only ever bumped into each other in-passing and didn't hang out.

You can just choose a day and go with it. As long as both of you agree, and it's approximate it's fine. We just count earth going around the sun, it's divided arbitrarily, and Earth's never going to be in exact place anyway.

22 years, been married for ~18 by now... Married twice, to the same woman, first time for the paperwork (that was called a Registered partnership, legally the same as marriage, with a slight difference in the type of "contract"), second time (actual marriage) for the party. Second wedding was 15 years ago

Why? That's not really relevant for anything... I've had multiple relations and I love most of them. A few hurt me, most healed me, and most were very passionate. The one I'm currently entertaining is perfect for me.
