On November 29, n 1582, William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, paid a 40-pound bond for a marriage license in Stratford-upon-Avon. Later, they had a daughter, Susanna, and twins.

Anne lived in a cottage in Shottery, a small hamlet within a short walking distance of Stratford. It is speculated that Shakespeare met Anne Hathaway on one of his walks in the countryside where his then bride to be shared this lovely cottage with her brother after the death of their parents. The rest of Anne's life is unclear, except for the fact she outlived Shakespeare and asked to be buried next to him. See the Hathaway cottage and gardens through the camera lens of John D. Weigand.
