I would like to say hello before I start posting so you know who I am. My name is Abbie and I am 30, this will be my second wedding. I got married very young first time around and as he was a fair few years older than me we found it increasingly hard to communicate. We remain distant freinds as we have no hard feelings it just never worked out. This time I know that I have something as near as possible to perfect. I feel very lucky and am very excited about my forthcoming wedding. I said I would never marry again but hey here I am Very Happy

Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing my experiences

Hi Abbie

Welcome!!

I use a few of the other wedding forums and I have found this to be very friendly. I am sorry your first marriage didn't work out - you seem very positive about it though, You live and learn eh?

Thanks Karen

Well my mum told me years ago that you are not YOU until your well into your twenties. She was right, I am nothing like I was when I was 19 (which is when I married the first time) My opinions are different, my attitude is different, and my life expectations are different. Because I married someone older all of the above was already formed, I changed, and we didn't get on. It was my fault that the marriage didn't work, but if I could live my life all over again I wouldn't change a single thing. Does that make sense??????????????

Hello Abbie & welcome, I think you are right, we don't grow up till our late twenties...men even later sometimes & that is why we often have unhappy first marriages...I'know I did. Now the man I am marrying is definitly Mr Right but it's taken me till I was 51 yrs old to find him...will be 55yrs old when we marry.

Also even though I've had bad experiences ...I still would'nt change a thing about my past life.
