How old were you when you got married?

I was 19 years old when I got married. I had gone to college and met a gentleman who was pursuing a law degree. We got married and I worked while he finished his degree. Then we went into the Air Force for two years. And he joined a law firm and we started our family. We had three children. Those kids are all grown now and on their own, making their own home and raising their children.


This picture is of a very young groom. He is only 20 years old and his bride is 15 years older than he is. However, she had never been married before. And it was obvious to me that she had waited until she found her twin flame before she got married. This boy was every inch a man this day that he stood to take her to be his wife. He had made all of the plans for the wedding. He booked a suite at the gorgeous St. Regis Hotel, ordered her a beautiful red and white rose bouquet, champagne, my special shell cake, and we did the ceremony down on the sand at the edge of the ocean, inbetween two rather heavy rain showers that day. It was all about just the two of them and the photographer and I felt like they indeed were in their own private world where nothing else mattered and they were hardly aware of us! I did do the ceremony and the photographer got about 150 pictures but they were in their own world of love and being loved.

Age is relative. We have different levels of being - spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical. At each level, we can be a different age. Our chronological age does not necessarily indicate our true accumulative age. So when we are true to our self and know ourself, we will be coming together with another soul who is our sure complement and compliment.
