I guess we'll never knowbut lovers of L.M. Montgomerys Anne of Green Gables series are comforted by the knowledge that lucky Anne did finally end up with Gilbert Blythe. You'll see that most are contemporaries because we did not feature any historicals where there is a child bride and an adult groom. As childhood romances prove, true love will survive the test of time.
Nothing is sweeter than a romance started in childhood.
The vows we make as children are often far more sincere then those we make as adults. Those first declarations of love are the most pure and true, untainted by the disappointments in life that seem commonplace to us as adults. Everyone remembers their first love. It's the real magic of childhood love. Children are an odd combination of innocence and guile.
