Len Allbrighton, 79, and Jeanette Steer, 78, first met in 1963. They were training together as nurses at St. Mary’s Hospital in the Isle of Wight, an island in the English Channel. Len was 19 and Jeanette was 18 at the time. They fell in love. A few months later, Len asked Jeanette to marry him. She said yes. Later, Len moved to Australia to buy land and built a house for them to live in once they were married. However, Jeanette’s parents put a stop to their relationship as she was only 18. Her parents wouldn’t let her move to Australia either.

The years went by and Len married someone in Australia and Jeanette married someone on the Isle of Wight. But 52 years later, Len was divorced(离婚的) and looking for love again. He decided to travel back to the Isle of Wight and look for his first love.

It was not easy to find but he did. Len was standing by the front door looking at the house when Jeanette noticed him and asked who he was. “I nearly died when I realized it was him standing there,” she said. However, Jeanette was still married at the time and turned him away. 

But two years later, Jeanette’s husband died. So, she reached back out to Len. In 2018, she agreed to move up to Stevenage to live with him, and last year Len once again got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. “Married life is fantastic—it couldn’t be better,” Jeanette said. “We fell in love again,” Len said.
