Sixteen months later, my sister was born. Five years after that, I was born.</p> <p>In my case, I'm apparently taking a leaf from my mother's book - I was something like 6.5 months pregnant with Henry when I got married (the wedding was planned before we found out we were pregnant) and our next LO is due in a month (about a 14 month age difference). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-your-parents-married-before-they-had-kids#post-538558 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:06:42 +0000 Alivoo01 538558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-your-parents-married-before-they-had-kids#post-538121 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 07:50:38 +0000 Adira 538121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About six years.
