How old were you when you felt ready for marriage? And how long had you been with your partner?

Just curious

30, 6 years

Thinking of getting hitched?

Married at 25, we'd been together a little over a year. I don't know when I first felt ready for marriage though, DH was the only fool man to ask me to marry him.

Got married at 23.

Got engaged after 6 weeks of getting together! (To be fair we had been friends for a long time).

We were engaged for 18 months.

Three kids and many years later and we are still love the bones of each other.

Aged 30, together 7 years.
Been married 12 years now.

First time round was engaged at 22, married at 24, divorced at 29, way too young.

This time round married at 34, better

20, together two years before then.

I was 31 when we got married, but 30 when I felt ready for it and when we got engaged.

Meant to add first time round we'd been together 2 years when we got engaged.

This time we got married on our second anniversary.

Still absurdly happy 16 years since tying the knot.

Together at 16, engaged at 17, married at 18. Had DCs at age 20 and 23. 25 now and still happily married

I was 28. Were together just under a year before hand.

Been married 8 years next year, still going strong!

Good age for me, left having kids til over 30 so we had good few years of just us.

We got together just before my 25 birthday, got engaged at 28 and married 16months later, been married 2.5 years now.

I was 32 when I got married. We'd been together for 8 years.

I was 35, DH was 46, we'd been together nine years. No point rushing these things

We'd been together for 22 months when we got married, engaged for 14 of those! Wedding day was the day before my 21st. Right from the start of the relationship we knew where it was heading - neither of us was looking for anything less than forever! Boak 5 years on & we're preparing for DC2's arrival next year!

Engaged at 21, married at 22, got together at 18. Felt ready for marriage the day I met him!

We met when I was 16, married when I was 23. DD1 born a year later, DD2 another two years later. DH is only 2 years older than me, I love that we've 'grown up' together.

Engaged at 26
Married at 29

We had been together four years when we got married.

Married at 23 after dating for 18 months and 21 years later we are still happy !

We got together when I was 21 (a couple of weeks away from turning 22), Dh was 21. Engaged about 9 months later. Married when I was 23, dh 22. So been together about 18 months. Been married 8 years.

I was 26 when I got married, dh 29. We had been together since I was 17 and he was 20.
We were engaged for 6 years though! Been married for the same length of time now and have 3 DC :-)

Also married at 23 after 8 months engagement and dating 1 year before that. Happily married 26 years now

27. 34 before kids and then I wasn't sure! Still am not, 2nd nearly here now.....

47
had been together 16 years.
