We got engaged on April 1 of this year and our wedding is May 7 of next year. I would have preferred a shorter engagement but my FI didn't wanted a little more time to spread out expenses and I didn't want to get married in the winter.
We got engaged September 2014, so we'll have been engaged 20 months. We didn't start actively planning until a few months ago, though, so the planning resembles a short engagement.
