Re: how long did you date before he popped the question?
We were planning a trip to Hawaii for January 2015, and I am an idiot and flat out asked him if he was going to propose, and he said no, that he wanted to wait until 2017. I was kind of upset but let it go. And of course he proposed while on our Hawaiian vacation! As much as I was dying for him to propose, I'm glad that I didn't push him too hard.
That was way too long so tl;dr - We were together for 2 years 3 months. Getting married after being together for 3 years 2 months.
We had a few awkward situations during the time we dated. He had told me several times he knew we were meant to be together and how much he wanted to spend his life making me happy, but I was cautiously optimistic. I knew from the first visit that he had potential to be the one for me but I had no idea how happy we could be!! I am so glad we communicate well together and were able to get the other stuff straightened out! We are absolutely perfect for each other! We are getting married 5/5/16!!
We were together 1 year 10 months before he proposed. I had a feeling it was coming because he was being so obvious because he was excited and can't keep a secret. The night it happened I wasn't sure if it would be the night and I as very surprised! 9/18/15 we got engaged
Wedding date 7/1/17!

about 3.5 years.... we starting dating in january 2012, became "official" in april 2012, moved in together in may 2014, and got engaged april 2015.
Our parents were meeting for the first time that weekend after, so I had my dad bring my great-grandmother's engagement ring (I had always wanted to use it since it's special to me). We still haven't resized it to fit me properly. He's asked if I want him to "repropose" with it, and I said no, since we're already halfway through the engagement and it would feel weird. I requested instead that he just give me a "romantic gifting" of the resized ring. Just because the beginning moment of our engagement may not have been well-planned or technically very "romantic" doesn't mean we can't have cute moments throughout the rest of the engagement reaffirming that we are excited to be married (and provide a few good photos for the family and friends wanting to see some romance).
I met met him online through a dating site and we found out we lived 5 min from each other, went to the same school, go to the same Doctor, and his grand parents and my parents have mutual friends. So I guess we were meant to be
