Childhood sweethearts who first met aged eight tie the knot after bumping into each other at a school reunion nearly two decades later

A COUPLE who first met when they were eight years old have married after almost 20 years apart.

Joanne and Adam Eden from Plymouth, Devon were reunited at a school reunion six years ago after first meeting at primary school.

Joanne revealed she "always had a crush" on Adam, but they lost touch after moving on to different secondary schools.

But after meeting up at a school reunion in 2013, the pair – who are both 31 – have finally tied the knot.

"He was my favourite person to be around at school as he used to always make me laugh and help me with my work," customer service adviser Joanne explained.

"Adam was the tallest in the class and I was the smallest, he is now 6ft 7in and I am 4 ft 11in.

"We went our separate ways during our teenage years but there were a few occasions I had seen him in the park but hadn't got the courage to approach him.

"I have always had a crush on him and I had him on social media, but it seemed when one of us was single, the other wasn't which is annoying, but fate thankfully found its way."

Joanne explained that during the reunion, the pair got on "like they did all those years ago", but at the time, Adam had a girlfriend.

"There was a primary school reunion in 2013 which we both attended, and I remember we still got on like we did all those years ago," she explained.

"He turned up with a girl who also went to our school and I must admit, I was pretty sad.

"Two months later, I saw on Facebook he had become single and I plucked up the courage to send him my number.

"It was the best decision I had ever made as he is my soul mate who has pushed me to achieve things, I never thought I could like my degree in psychology.

"It is crazy to think that we were once learning our timetables together and now we have been together for six years.

"After a few months, I knew that we were destined to be together, he never fails to make me smile.

"When his mum, Val Faldo, 57, found out we were dating, she went digging for photos from year six leaving day and found quite a few of me.

"Adam couldn't believe he had pictures of his now wife from as a kid – it is just evidence that we are meant to be."

And it seems the couple are happier than ever, with Joanne explaining they never have "any drama".

"Everything is just so easy with Adam, we never have any drama and if I am ever annoyed he makes me laugh and I forget what I was angry about," she revealed.
