Just wondering

How long were you and your significant other together before you got engaged? How long did you know them before hand? Just wondering.

Re: Just wondering

  • together for about 20 months before engaged.  Engaged for another 18 months before the wedding.
  • We got engaged after 18 months and got married 22 months after that.  But I knew I was going to marry him after our 3rd date.

    [QUOTE]I'm posting mine because it's weird. We met at age 15.  Our families had known each other for 150 years.  We dated in high school until most of the way through senior year, when I broke up with him. Saw him again 7 years later.  After being together about 4 days, we decided to get married.  Still married after 37 years.

  • It was almost 3 1/2 years before we got engaged.   We only really met a month or two before we started dating.  We had been at other parties together but we didn't talk or anything.

  • We got engaged after 3 years of dating and then were married 1 year after that.

    We've known each other since we were 5 and in kindergarten.

     

  • We were officially together for 23 months before getting engaged but had been FWB for 1 1/2 yrs before making it official. We have known each other since he was 1 or 2 months old and I was 3 or 4 months old. We lost touch during college and a few years after and reconnected when my parents were moving south after my dad "retired".

    We were online/phone friends about 10 years before we actually met. Then we lost touch for many years and eventually found each other again. After we met and started dating, we were together a little over a year before getting engaged.

    We met briefly a few months before we actually started talking. Starting dating a couple weeks after that. Got engaged at about 14 months of dating. By the time we're married, it will be over 4.5 years.
  • Met when we were 15, friends for about 5 months, started dating at 16, together for 8 1/2 years until he proposed, then two years later we are getting married.  So, all in all, together for 10 1/2 years.

  • We met at 16 & 17.  We started dating a couple months after we met and got engaged after 4 years and 7.5 months.  We're having a 17 month engagement, so our wedding date is 11 days after our 6th anniversary.

  • We met online 2 years ago this past February. After a week, I was spending every night with him, after 2 weeks I was thinking "OMG, I'm going to marry him" and he said it out loud to me. By week 3, I moved in fully. We sold our houses and bought one together last year and he proposed during our housewarming in October.
     
    Cmgr - is that why your MIL was teling your husband he was making a mistake? I think any mother would tell their kid they're nuts after marrying someone so quickly! I have a friend who met her husband at a bar one night, they got drunk and decided to get married...and are incredibly happy 12 years later with 2 kids.

    Vacation
  • We were dating for exactly three years and one month when we got engaged. We met each other a little less than two years before that at a protest. We'll be engaged for eleven months and one day when we get married.

  • Dated for 3.5 years before being engaged (the last 2 years were California to Texas long distance), then had a 7 month engagement.
  • We met in college and were very close friends for a few years.  His roommates were moving out and he needed a few more to help with rent, so I moved in with him and two others.  That was August 2011.  We started dating October 2011.  We already knew we'd end up together, but we officially got engaged in July 2012, in our 9th month of dating.  We're getting married this July on the 1 year anniversary of when he proposed.
  • We were dating 4.5 years before we got engaged (Sept 2004 to May 2009) and then we were engaged 3 years before we got married (May 2009 to June 2012).
  • We met online and started dating a week after we started trading messages (I was dumping another online date or it would have been sooner).

    He proposed roughly a year and 3 months in.  And I accidentally scheduled our wedding on our two year anniversary :P.  When I realized it, I felt both dumb, and elated.

    We met in 8th grade and 'went out' for a few months then. We stayed friends through out high school. When I went away to college my freshman year we talked all the time, and when I came home for the summer we started to hang out and the rest is history. We were together for almost 6 years when he proposed on April 13th, 2011 and we got married April 13th, 2013. We have been together for almost 8 years total, but have known each other for 15 years.

  • We "knew" each other for about 6 months before we started dating. I say "knew" because we met once through work and then had each other on Facebook, but didn't do more than comment on a picture here and there. He lived about 7 hours (driving) away so although we were both attracted to each other, it didn't seem feasible. Once we did start talking regularly and then dating, we were engaged 2 and a half years later. We had a one year, seven month engagement.
  • We met the first week of freshman year of college.  We started dating a week later.  We were together five and a half years when we got engaged and we'll hit our seven year dating anniversary two weeks before we get married.
  • We had been together about 3 1/4 years - but the first 6 months of our relationship, we were not exclusive.
  • Met freshman year of high school, started dating summer before senior year, got engaged just over 6 years later and will celebrate our 7-year dating anniversary 2 weeks before the wedding.
