Maybe it's different for those of us who were more "traditional" about it? We didn't actually live together until we were married, so the wedding day really was the start of our life actually living together on our own instead of always at each other's parents homes.
Yes, that would make a big difference. The day Rob and I started living together as a couple instead of as two independent adults who had both left parents' homes years before is an anniversary we never, ever forget.
Well, we met just before our 17th birthdays, and as we lived at opposite ends of the same street not actually living together wasn't really a big issue for us as we saw each other all the time *G*. We were betrothed within days, and engaged on my 18th birthday - so all plans I'd had prior to us meeting for my going away to university went out the window. I think the longest period we were apart during our just over 2 year courtship was a fortnight (and that was because I'd committed to helping out at a youth camp before we met).
