ondreeuh Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 We exclusively dated for two years before we got engaged. Our engagement was 20 months. We just weren't in a hurry (we were in college and busy). Once we were married, we stepped it up and our son was born 11 months later. :) Sometimes I qualify that while we have been married for 12 years, we have been together for almost 16. That long courtship/engagement feels like it should be counted in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobela Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 What?? We were supposed to get engaged first?? We dated for a year, bought wedding rings on our 'anniversary', gave my parents 3 days notice of the wedding, and dh didn't actually propose until the night before the wedding - because I told him I couldn't marry someone unless they actually took time to ask me first. So technically, I guess I was engaged less than 24 hours.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 We met 4/96, I moved here 7/96, we were engaged 2/97, and married 5/97. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Oh it is so nice to see others who have had short engagements!!! In my circle I feel like an outcast or something. We were engaged 3 months after we met...though we were talking from the first date. It just took him 3 months to get over what the majority was saying. We were married 6 months after that. Would have been sooner but I didn't want a winter wedding. I hate the cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
