I was dating a GI stationed in England. He brought my future husband to meet my girlfriend. Didn't quite work so future husband brought a friend of his to date her. They hit it off and I dumped my date and started seeing him. (complicated)Girl friend was 15 and I was 17. We married and came to live in US
Friends married 54 years and my husband and I 53 years.Can you imagine letting your daughter move 4,000 and more away from home at that age. I know I wouldn't think of it.We had already finished school and were working. What an adventure it seemed to us, we heard the streets were paved with gold. (Not) We are happier now than ever and have stuck together through thick and thin. Still get together twice a year.Still great friends.
