How long did you wait.

Re: How long did you wait.

  • We started dating the end of January....Engaged by the end of April and will be married July 2011.

    But we've known eachother for about fifteen years.
  • We got engaged after 6 1/2 years of dating. We started dating though when I was 16 years old. and have lived together about 3 years of that. We will be getting married in 7 months from now, which would put us at being together about 7 1/2 years. We knew we wanted to marry each other, but we waited until the right time.

  • We got engaged 6 1/2 years after we started dating.  We will be married 7 years and 8 months after we started dating.  There was no rush :) 

    We were living together for two years (renting) and then bought a house.  We were in the house for about a year before he proposed.  I think it was implied when we decided to buy the house that an engagement and wedding would be put off since we invested all of our savings into the downpayment for the house.  It was such a good market for first-time home buyers that we had to take advantage, and we are so happy that we did :)

  • Dated 1 year --> moved in together
    Lived together 8.5 months -- /> got engaged
    Our engagement is 14 months and our wedding will be 2 weeks before our 3rd anniversary. 

    Laughing Your time is your time, nobody elses. My brother and a male cousin both dated their wives for 3 years and then were engaged for 3 years. I think 6 years until you walk down the isle is ridiculously long!! To each their own :)

  • Wow......I feel like we did it fast now....we started dating we moved in 4 weeks later and at 5 months we were engaged( that was a month ago) and I couldnt be happier! When  we met and knew that weekend we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.....We are getting marred Aug of 2011 even tho he actually wanted sooner LOL Maybe its beacuse he is 35 and I am 31 and I have been married before so we both knew what we were looking for when we met.....and sparks flew! LOL

  • We were dating for 5 years and 2 months before we got engaged and when we get married it will be 6 years and 4 months!
  • Engaged: 4 months dating
    Married: (will be) 1 year and 2 months dating

    Ha! I know what some of you are thinking! But I will burst your curiosity bubble by telling you that we've been friends for 4 years and we grew really close 6 months before we decided to date. It was not long after we decided to date that we figured out that we were meant for each other and wanted to get married.

    He's loved me since we first became friends 4 years ago...it just took me a while to catch up!!! Good thing I did! Smile
  • We were dating 7 weeks before we got engaged and we'll have been together 8 months when we get marreid in 2 months.

    We got engaged after 1 1/2 years dating. We will be getting married 11 months later.

    We met 9 years ago when I was 12 and he was 13 at dirt bike races. We bought a house about 1 year after we started dating.

Sometimes you just fit! :)

  • We were long distance for the first 2 and a half years of our relationship.

    Engaged: 2 years
    Moved in together: 2 and half years
    Married: 4 years

    Some people told us that we were moving to fast as well, specifically his parents who were dating for 3 years, were engaged for 2 years and married at 5 years.

    Everyone moves at a different pace, my sister and her now husband have only know each other for 2 years now and have been married for almost 6 months.

    We just smile and nod when people tell us we are moving too quickly.

  • We have been engaged for 3 months now, dated for a little over 5, friends for 6 years.
    He was married before so he was a little cautious! :)
  • We dated for a little less than 7 years and are having a 15 month long engagement. : )

  • We got engaged on our 5month anniversary...we will be married on our 7 month anniversay!

    I knew by our third date that he was the man I would marry...and we wanted a small intimate wedding, so why wait!!

    my parents were married within 6 months of meeting, and have been happily married for 26 years!!
  • We moved in together after being together for 4 months and were engaged 2 months later (6 months of dating).  We will have dated 16 months when we get married.
  • We moved in together after 5.5 months of dating, he proposed on our 6 month dating anniversary.

    16 month long engagement - getting married in April, 2011.

    We didn't date for long before becoming engaged/moving in together, but our long engagement put my parents anxiety at rest.  2 years is plenty of time, in my opinion!
  • We were dating for just over 7 years but have lived together for about 6 years. We have now been engaged for 2 weeks but wont get married for another 2 weeks since Im going back to college.
