At 20-years old I was focused on growing my business instead of dating. I never went through the phase of wanting the latest trends or saving towards buying a new pair of jeans.
I was saving to buy a laptop and searching for investors. I’ve always been business-minded, mom says I get that from my dad.
I knew what I wanted from a young age and most guys my age were still worried about styling their hair instead of worrying about their future. I couldn’t find a guy that understood what I wanted. Every guy I chatted to about business got bored out of their minds… until Vije arrived. The reason I told you this, is because that has a lot to do with how I met my prince charming. Read about my love story here.
The day I told my mom I wanted to get married, was the first day I saw her ‘shocked’ look. She wasn’t sure if I was feeling okay. The first thing she said: “You so young”… Yes… but I was ready! I knew it, I could feel it in my heart that this was the perfect time to get married.
When I told family and friends I was planning on getting married, the first question I was asked is: Are you pregnant?!
No, I wasn’t pregnant and I wasn’t going to elope. It’s the choice I made on my own, I was never pressurized by Vije.
Many people don’t know that Vije and I have a 10 years age gap. At first, we used to get lots of stares in public but after a while we ignored it… and now I don’t even notice it. Honestly, you would never say we 10 years apart because we get along extremely well and hardly ever fight. Our birthdays are 1 day apart and we have the same star sign yet we so compatible and make a great team.
I never intended on getting married at 20 but I knew I wanted a partner who would love and have a passion for business as much as I did. We met when I was 18 and ever since then we’ve been together.
Despite the judgment and misconceptions, I’m thankful I found my one and only when I was young. Marriage is no walk in the park and being married at a young age changes your lifestyle completely but that’s the decision I made. Instead of partying alone, I was partying with my husband. My friends loved Vije and everyone got along with him from day 1.
Married at 20 made me realize that love doesn’t need you to be a certain age. It can happen anytime.
When happiness comes knocking, you open and say welcome! Although my life isn’t like many 24-year olds now, I love it. I may be changing diapers instead of partying but that’s the choice I made.
There are certain things that I don’t love about my husband (like him leaving all the cupboard doors open) but I’ve learned to deal with it. He may drive me nuts at times but I still love him!
This year, Vije and I are celebrating 4 years of marriage. Each year has been a blessing and bringing a daughter into the world brought us even closer. Together we face challenges and yes it does get difficult at times but trust, love, and patience helps us through our difficult times.

I also married my husband at 20! I think that when you know it’s the right one, then you know. Why wait?
Definitely! Wow, so glad to know I’m not the only one that got hitched at 20. 😉 Thanks for commenting.
Oh I love this – it is so very true – love comes at the time it comes – if it’s the one, you need to grab it and hold it close. For me it came a full 13 years after it came for you .
Thanks for reading. 🙂
I just love you guys. You’re one of my favourite couples, and of course I relate to your story because I got married young too and the age gap is similar. I think there are so many benefits, you’re with your best friend and you can experience things together. There is also a misconception that you’re suddenly old people when you’re married – yes, your priorities may change but you are the same people and a young marriage is a FUN marriage!
True, Marriage suppose to be FUN! No wonder we get along so well. LOL 😛
Love this post. You keep writing, you are an inspiration to many.
Well done….I got married at 24 and my wife was 21……….25 years later we are still married with 3 boys….awesome.
It certainly has it’s advantages when you get married early. BUt just like everything else, it also has it’s cons so it all depends on the person.
Happy anniversary! And good for you for following your heart!
I’ve been in a relationship with the same man for almost 10 years and while we are engaged I can’t wait to marry him! Happy Anniversary
Beautiful love story. I am so happy for you, and your family. I am happily married now, and hope to enjoy many more years together. Blessings.
I think everyone has to do what is right for them. There is no right or wrong. As long as you are happy, that’s what matters.
Happy Anniversary! You guys look so in love. I got married when I was 22 and we still in love too 🙂
Love knows no age! I think you just know when it’s the right person! Happy Anniversary!
I met my wife at 20, age really never matters, all that matters is that you are in love and that you both can make it work.
What a great story! I love learning more about the other bloggers and your story is very inspiring. I hope you and your husband continue to have many many more anniversaries!
I love your story!! I am 32 and still not married so I can’t even imagine being married at 20 but you make it work. My sister got married when she was 18 and they are such a great couple. Congrats to you for making it work!!!
When you know, you know… No one can judge how someone loves, and it’s great you stoop up for yours!
I was only twenty-one when my husband and I married. I have never regretted it once in the last nine years.
It’s amazing to get married so young, but to be so hard working helps a lot!
Honestly, when the time is right, it’s right. There’s no set age on when anyone should get married. It’s whenever they feel it’s right. 🙂
I was married when I was 19 and though we’re divorced, I have no regrets. You know what’s right for you.
What a wonderful story and congratulations in celebrating your 4 year anniversary! Love does come unexpectedly and you know best when you are ready or not. 🙂
This is a very adorable love story indeed. I do believe there is someone out there for everyone. It is awesome you and your husband work well together and have the same loves. Thanks for sharing. You have a beautiful family.
I couldn’t think of myself marrying anyone at 20. Personally I just wasn’t mature enough and was battling a lot of inner demons. At this point in my life I finally feel comfortable for the commitment.
I married at 20 and it did not work out. We were so young and did not communicate what we wanted out of marriage. It seems you got a great marriage there!
He sounds like a great husband. I was married at 20 and found now that my kids are grown, I am ready for my next adventure. Looking to travel once my youngest is out of college.
That sounds very sweet, I’ve been married for five years I’m 30 something. I’m absolutely agree that love doesn’t need you to be a certain age.
Beautiful love story, beautiful family! I first got married at the age of 20, alas the person turned out not to be my true soul mate. However, I’m happy to say that I found love again at the age of 25 and got married a little over a year later. 🙂
I think getting married young has big perks. I think waiting does too. And marrying the right person for you trumps age in any case. 🙂
Aw, your story is really beautiful. I used to want to get married very early, but now I guess I’m ending up waiting. We’ve been engaged since young though 🙂
It’s wonderful that you found your perfect match. I love that you speak of how it was your choice, this is what you want and you are making it work. Good for you!
What a great love story. You just never know when you will find your Mr. Right! Age totally doesn’t matter!
What a beautiful love story. 10 years is not a big gap really. Age is not a barrier to love. You look great together and your family joy radiates. Blessings!
the majority of people think getting married at 20 or even 25 is too young, my husband and I got married when I was 21 and he was 23 and 10 years later we are still as strong as ever-thanks for this wonderful post
I think finding him at that time was right for you. In a way I wish I’d met my husband back then, but then I wouldn’t have had all the other experiences e.g. travelling overseas. Life just works out like that sometimes…
This is a great story am 21 and am in a decision of doing that
Wishing you all the best! I’m married for 7 years now. 🙂 Don’t regret my decision.

Copper scrap recovery efficiency Copper has been used as a conductor of electricity for decades due to its excellent electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, and good resistance to corrosion. Compared to other metals, copper has the highest electrical conductivity, with a conductivity of 59.6 million siemens per meter (S/m) at room temperature. This makes copper an ideal choice for electrical connectors. The high electrical conductivity of copper means that it can transmit electrical signals with minimal losses, leading to efficient energy transfer and reduced power consumption. This feature makes copper an ideal material for use in various electronic applications, including computers, cell phones, and other such devices. Additionally, copper has a high thermal conductivity, which helps to dissipate heat efficiently, making it an ideal material for use in high-temperature applications. This is crucial for electrical connectors as they are often exposed to high temperatures due to the flow of electricity. Another advantage of copper is its ability to resist corrosion. Copper oxidizes naturally to form copper oxide, which protects the copper beneath it from further corrosion, making it a great choice for outdoor or humid environments. Overall, the combination of high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, and good resistance to corrosion make copper an ideal material for electrical connectors. This is why it is the most widely used metal in the electrical industry today Metal reprocessing Copper transformer recycling Copper scrap reprocessing Copper scrap future outlook Copper scrap processing efficiency Scrap metal value evaluation

Copper scrap payment terms In recent years, there has been increasing interest in developing efficient and sustainable methods for reducing environmental pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2). NO2 is a harmful atmospheric pollutant that is a primary contributor to smog and acid rain, and can have negative impacts on human health and the environment. One promising approach for NO2 reduction is the use of catalysts, which can facilitate the conversion of NO2 to less harmful compounds such as nitrogen (N2). In a recent study, researchers have demonstrated the potential of using atomically dispersed copper (Cu) sites in a metal-organic framework (MOF) for NO2 reduction. MOFs are highly porous materials composed of metal ions or clusters connected by organic ligands, and can offer a unique platform for hosting and stabilizing metal catalysts. The researchers prepared an MOF incorporating Cu sites, and tested its ability to reduce NO2 to N2 under ambient conditions. They found that the Cu-MOF catalyst exhibited high activity and selectivity for NO2 reduction, achieving a conversion rate of up to 99% and selectivity of over 90%. The researchers attributed this high activity to the presence of the atomically dispersed Cu sites, which act as active sites for the catalytic reaction. Importantly, the Cu-MOF catalyst was found to be stable and reusable over multiple cycles, indicating its potential for practical applications. Additionally, the researchers demonstrated that the Cu-MOF catalyst could be used in a flow reactor configuration, further highlighting its potential for large-scale applications. Overall, this study highlights the potential of atomically dispersed Cu sites in MOFs as efficient and sustainable catalysts for NO2 reduction. With further development and optimization, this approach could offer a new pathway for mitigating the negative impacts of atmospheric pollution Metal recovery Copper scrap licensing Scrap Copper Copper scrap trading network Copper scrap material composition Scrap metal handling
