Our best beloved

Oh my dyslexic fingers/brain goes faster than I can type!! it should say Our best beloved,we've been and everyone.

At art school when I was seventeen.

Met DH online in 2009 - although it can be a minefield, I would recommend it!

It was an English speaking site, but we were both living in France at that time.

At work in 1967. We've been married 54 years this year.

Via an ad in the local paper.

I was setting my sights on his best friend, who I didn’t know was engaged to someone else. To get me off his back, he set me up on a blind date with DH. The rest is history!

1st year at university.

He was a blind date set up by my best friend.
I thought I was going to a pub with just her. When we got there he was outside with a few of his friends.
I got introduced and it was love at first sight. This was in 1971.
He left in January 1987 for someone he worked with. Divorced 1991.

Work Christmas party. His brother worked for the same company as I and had sneaked him in for the post meal disco. 1969!!!

At a Methodist Guest House in 1965. We’ve been happily married for 52 years.

At a wonderful traditional pub a stone’s throw from where I lived at the time.

MrC’s sister was the landlady.
I was in the throes of almost having a nervous breakdown (seriously).

My mom had just died; I’d been royally dumped by the man who I thought I would spend my life with; my best friend had moved to the other end of the country; and I was totally out of my depth trying to do an art PGCE.

I was also drinking far too much.

MrC said it was love at first sight.
He asked my out numerous times before I succumbed.

He saved my life ♥️

At a Young Farmers' dance in the 50s.

In a scout hut 1966, married 1968
He died 1976 .

At work in 1967. We married in 1969 and he’s still tolerating me. It seems odd now but my Dad needed to give permission for me to marry.

At a dance hall, over the Odeon cinema in Hounslow.
Married in 1961, still going strong after 61 years.

Small ad in a magazine, pre online dating I suppose. I always remind him that it pays to advertise! 35 years this summer.

LITERATE

In my first year at University, but it never occurred to us that we might be made for each other for another six years. In fact, we actually lost touch with each other for about a year.

At university in November 1966 - married in 1968!

1968, student union coffee lounge, as they called it. I was first year, he was 2nd.
Married in 1974.

Initially at school where we hardly knew each other. We both married, then many years later he found me on Friends Reunited so we dated then married in 2015. He lives mainly in France whilst I'm in England.

Met at work in November 1974, moved in together May 1975, married in May 1976. It was the talk of the office!

BBC London hostel in November 1960 - he was a new graduate entrant, I was a secretary. Married in September 1962. It was clear from the very beginning that the relationship was either serious or off.
