    Over 20 years. We probably met through mutual acquaintances 30ish years ago, but that is lost to the mists of time.

      We’re not old, we’re experienced. I love that I lived a ‘be home by dark’ childhood without a microchip.

    I met her just before May Day in 2009. Two days later we were going steady. Three months after that, engaged. A year after we met I moved in with her and a year after she proposed we were married. Well, church married.

    We were protesting for marriage equality and refused to file a marriage certificate until it was the law of the land; but we had kids before that happened and then we got busy and we didn’t actually get around to that part until the pandemic lockdowns. So ten years after we got married we turned in our marriage license.

    About 40 years. We met for real when she was in 9th grade and I was in 10th grade. We started dating when she was 15 and I was 16. We got married 32 years ago.

    Edit: Since it looks like we’re the oldest couple in the thread so far: first date was October 5, 1986.
