Just that really! Interested to see when people decided to put a ring on it. I know no two relationships are the same but I am intrigued having a baby and coming up to our second year anniversary makes the question play in my mind more so as to when things like this follow?

We didn't get engaged just decided to get married. Thirteen years together and the wedding was in October.

We got engaged after less than a year but in lesbian years that's at least 3 years. We won't be getting married for a while yet.

Do you mind if I ask whether you're married now?

Got together May 2015. Engaged Dec 2019. Had wedding penciled in for 2022 but think realistically that's going to be moved to 2023.

Both have children from prior relationships but no children together and no more planned. Due to move in together shortly (house sale due to complete imminently)
