When my best friend and I were 16 a new girl moved into the neighborhood. She was 12 at the time. After observing this girl in the park a few times my buddy told me that he was going to marry that girl!
He was the newspaper carrier in the neighborhood so he got to know the girl and her mother fairly well over the next two years till we both went away to college. He dated other girls but when that girl turned 16 he started dating her.
They got married when my friend was a senior in college and she was in her senior year in high school. That was over 35 years ago and they are still happily married today.
