Technically no - we went to different high schools but knew each other since we worked together. We started dating the first weekend of college so literally a month after high school. That way a long time ago and just celebrated our 15 yr wedding anniversary.

H and I met my freshman year of college (we didn't go to school together, we met at work). I was a baby when we got married (I was 24, he was 29). We casually dated on and off for 3 years, then broke up for about 10 months. We got back together and were engaged 3 months later.
My parents are HS sweethearts and so are my brother and SIL.
Yes. Started dating at 17/18 (end of my senior year), went to different colleges hours apart, lived separately after college, and married at 25/26. We've been married 13 years. I dated a couple other guys in college because I thought it was dumb to pine for my HS boyfriend. But he was the one that stuck

I met my ex-husband at 19 (right out of high school) when I went to apply for a job. He was 4 years older. He chased me until I was 24 and I finally agreed to marry him. We got married when I was 28, had my son at 34 and got divorced from him last year. I'm pretty sure he only married me to please his parents. He has a very complicated relationship with them and has been hiding his true self for years. I think he has finally discovered himself and that person is not anyone I wanted to be married to, so we split ways. People change. I have many friends who married in high school and are still married. Some very happily and others not so much.

(Haven't read all the responses yet so I don't know what I'm getting myself into...) Yes. We were friends when I was a freshman and he was a senior. We started dating when I was a junior in HS and he was a sophomore in college. We went to college in different towns and got married right after I graduated. We've been married for almost 11 years. It hasn't been nonstop rainbows, but we haven't had any major issues. I think it works because we've always respected each others' plans and interests.

Sort of... I mean, not high school sweethearts, but we knew each other in high school (and middle and elementary). We met in elementary, knew and were friends or friendly... then our sophomore year of college (him in our home state university and me in Chicago) started dating long distance. We moved in together a year later and were married about 9 years later. So we started dating at 19 (almost 20) and we were married at 28 - we didn't plan to get married when we started dating. We were together almost 23 years and married just over 13 when I kicked him out for cheating. So... didn't work out for us to be together young even with waiting 8-9 years before considering marriage, and 10 to start having kids.
