A woman who got married at just 17 years old has shared her secret to a long marriage.
Sabrina Humber, 44, was just a teenager when she got married to her husband, Jon, 46 - and the couple have now been married for 28 years.
The pair met in March 1995 when they were both teens.
Sabrina, 16 at the time, was working as a cashier in Staines, Middlesex, while Jon was an 18-year-old delivery driver.
Their whirlwind romance saw them move in together in May 1995 - just three months after they met.
Sabrina had fallen pregnant by August 1996 and they married in November 1996 - at the age of 17 and 19.
Now the pair have four children and two grandchildren and are still happily married and living in Eye, Suffolk.
Their union would now be classified as illegal as the minimum marriage age in England and Wales has increased to 18 as of March 2023.
Sabrina, a former nurse who is unable to work due to spinal surgery and limited mobility, said: "Several members of both sides of our families said that it would never last, we were too young and they'd give it six months.
"Thankfully we managed to prove them wrong and we sit here today thankful that we did.
"Life hasn't been too kind to us.
"I've had two spinal surgeries so I'm no longer able to nurse and my husband has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia - so we're long-term sick.
"But there's no other person that I'd want to go through it with."
Sabrina said it was by chance that the pair met after her dad almost grounded her on the night she bumped into her future husband.
She said: "We met in 1995 when we were out with friends.
"They were in a car and they were driving around, and I said if you want to talk to us you can stop.
"They did, we got sort of chatting and what have you and that's how we got to know each other.
Sabrina and Jon hung out for a couple of weeks after that and Jon would travel to her house to pick her up.
"Because he was three years older than me, 18 going on 19, we would go to local pubs and to the cinema a few times."
In August 1996, Sabrina said she was annoyed with Jon when he proposed.
She said: "Jon had gone off to get this ring and I was upset because obviously, he said I can't go with him.
"I was laying on the bed because I was upset and he laid on the bed next to me and just got this ring out - so I sort of ruined it because I was being dramatic.
"It wasn't the most romantic.
"He didn't go to Paris and get down on bended knee in front of the Eiffel Tower, but it's still special to us."
At the same time, they discovered Sabrina was pregnant with their first child in April 1997, when she was just 17.
And in August 1997, the couple tied the knot.
"We had a fairly big church wedding at St. Mary's in Bedfont, Greater London.
"I had a traditional bridal gown, which was very nice. It wasn't a big fancy reception or anything like that."
The happy pair have gone on to have four children together - Samantha, 25, Kayley, 23, Dylan, 17, and Imogen, eight.
Their eldest, Samantha, has also had two children, AJ, three, and Mckensie, one, making Sabrina and Jon doting grandparents.
Sabrina claims the secret to a long and happy life with her husband is avoiding intense arguments and marrying "your best friend"
She said: "We don't have blazing rows.
"We've both had our moments don't get me wrong.
"But there's never been shouting at each other from the bedroom windows and throwing clothes out - and we've always been faithful.
"There have been times where we've disagreed but I think if you just have a discussion about it, and don't sort of keep things bottled up, nine times out of 10 you know, you'll come to a resolution - whether it's a compromise or finding a common ground.
"If you can find somebody that is always there for you, you can't go wrong."
Jon added: "And I know my place - to agree with whatever she wants and to keep quiet."
