Older Brides Shout Out!

Susan, on September 11, 2019 at 9:45 AM Posted in Community Conversations 3 32

I love this forum, it's so positive and reassuring... I thought I'd give a shout out to my fellow older brides after doing a search and not seeing any posts since last year about us! I'm 44 years old and wondered how many other 'older' brides there are here? What an unimaginable joy to have found love again in my 40's... Who else?

    Congratulations, Bridget! It's my second marriage, my FH's first. So happy for you that your wedding is so close. We've got 250+ days to go!

    I'm 42 (will turn 43 a week after the wedding) and she is 57. I had completely given up and didn't even want to date anymore, she was much more hopeful. We turned our friendship into a relationship after she took the time to convince me she wasn't going anywhere. We'll be married in 30 days!

    I'm 51 (52 by the wedding date), and he'll be 52 next month. This is my first (and only) marriage, but his 3rd. I told him "3rd time's the charm!" lol I thought I was done with dating, and had pretty much written off men and relationships. I just didn't think it was in the cards for me. Now I'm 261 days from my wedding!! So excited!

    I'm 49, but I turn 50 next month, just before the wedding. My FH is 54. We dated back in 1985 and broke up because I was young and he was leaving for the Navy. No hard feelings. We found each other again on Facebook 6 years ago, started dating in April 2017, he proposed that November and here we are

    So I am not quite over 40, but I was widowed at age 24 (while I was pregnant) and remarried at 38! FH is 48 and I learned a while back (especially in my 20's) that guys my age didn't understand or couldn't handle the fact that I was widowed . I started dating older, more mature men who could handle my situation and here I am! Married again for the past 11 days lol, we got married on 08/31/19.

    I’m 42, getting married for the only time. FH has been Divorced and Widowed.

    He was so far from what I was looking for, but exactly what I needed.

    I’m 37 and he’s 52. Not the first marriage for either of us, but we both agree that if we didn’t have our past relationships we never would have met. We were friends first and met playing indoor soccer together, because neither one of us wants to admit we’re getting older! I have an 11 year old son and they absolutely adore each other (he never had children).
