Over 40 Bride

Margarie, on May 26, 2020 at 9:55 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 19
My fiancé and I have been together about 18 years. We are literally the black Brady bunch😊. We have known forever marriage was the goal but we decided to put it on hold to make sure we did what we needed to do for our children he proposed 9 years ago. So many years later all 6 children plus one we adopted over the years have all finished school at private colleges. We have paid off both our home and cars. Any other brides over 40? Good things do come to those who wait.

    I am over 40, but we did elope when I got pregnant. We are renewing our vow, and this is our 1st “real” & planned wedding. We have 2 adult kids and 1 minor kid now. Sometimes I feel insecure inside, because I don’t look that great anymore with my age. I wish we did this 10 years ago 😔

    I’m over 40 as well! Life is just not a one size fits all for who does what when, as hard as that was for me to learn over the years!

    Both my fiancé and I are over 40, have never been married, and have no kids. We met each two years ago, but this relationship was sooooo worth the wait!! I’m a firm believer in delay is not denial; we’re prime examples.

    I’m 61, second marriage for us both. He never had a wedding so it’s a big deal for him. Me too as I get to marry the love of my life.

    You know I felt that same way at first. But I have to tell myself I hope to look beautiful all the same. And I’m sure you will too💗

    Congratulations 🎉. First time for he and I too. I remember times when we tried to plan before and we just had so much chaos it felt forced. This time besides family etc the normal wedding planning angst it all feels really smooth and easy. Happy we waited for our perfect time.

    Yes sometimes we just don’t understand that things will happen when they are meant to. Not exactly just when we want or think the should. The right time is the perfect time congratulations 🎉

    Very true I used to have other friends make comments like you’re single until you are truly married and a relationship isn’t real until you’re married well 18 years later here we are stronger than ever and because of age at a great place in our relationship. Some of those same friends have gotten married divorced and single again yet we are still standing strong. Congratulations to you😊

    Over 40 and first time bride - nothing at all wrong with it. My first fiancee passed away 18 years ago and I never found anyone that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with until I met my FH.

    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

    Aw! Then the timing is perfect and meant to be! 💕


    Once I hit 40, I wasn’t sure marriage wouldn’t be in my cards but I continued to date and a few years later, finally met my match. ♥️ He was in he’s 50’s (2nd marriage), which I liked because we both wanted an untraditional wedding (he had a traditional one the 1st time). 🏴‍☠️

    I agree. While I have been engaged once before that ended about 12 years ago, I clearly had not found the right person. In the years since, I was not going to cut myself short to settle for someone who I could not imagine a forever with. I couldn’t even find someone I wanted to spend much time with at all! Now I found someone who I cannot imagine my life without. It all works out.

    Hi there! 50 years old and we too are the Brady Bunch - sadly we do not have an Alice though lol! Second marriage here for both us. We have four teens between us (2 in high school, 2 in college). We have been together for four years and just stated planning for a July 24, 2021 wedding. Do you have a date yet?

    I remember hearing that and thinking "yeah right," but it really does work out. Congratulations -- sounds like your patience paid off!
