Grannyknot....Mine too, other way around.
When she answered the door, I immediately thought, "She`s out of my class" but it was a blind date set up by a mutual friend.
Next month is our 39th wedding anniversary.

Grannyknot that would have been mine, too! And I still like him a lot!

I’m so very sorry, he is dead

BBbevan that is so sweet!

Mine is:

"I've set you up on a blind date with a friend of mine, you'll like him a lot".

After years of anxiety and depression I attended an OU Summer School where I first heard the quote 'Nothing matters very much and very little matters at all'.

"Of course girls get paid a third less then the boys. They are just not as good"

First job TSB 1968 - more annoying in that within weeks I was the one trusted to do certain jobs that the boys weren't because I didn't make the mistakes they did. Really spurred me on to prove the patriarchy wrong.

I have a spare ticket to a Christmas Dance, do you want to come with me?
52 years later, so pleased I said yes.

Another happy one. "I'm pregnant". DH andI were not married then . Both 19 years old. We are still together 53 years later.

You are pregnant.

A friend sent me a link to THIS THREAD on Mumsnet which made for such poignant and thoughtful reading and afterwards I thought it would be really interesting to pose the same question here. So which one sentence changed your life? I will start with a happy one

Will you marry me?

It's worth reading the Mumsnet thread if you have time but definitely have tissues at the ready
