Just that really…
Wondering if my engagement is beyond the average! Google said 15 months which doesn’t seem long to plan a wedding to me!

6 months, met and married in 13 months. Definitely no repenting going on, my husband is amazing.

Ha ha me too. 22 years later and it’s worked out fine!

We weren’t. At the time - long ago! - dh thought ‘getting engaged’ was desperately uncool. We just decided in January, tied the knot in June.
I suppose you could say we were ‘betrothed’ though.

We were engaged after six weeks and intended on getting married nine months later but for various reasons we couldn’t so got married a bit later - 14 months from when we first met, so about a year after we got engaged. I didn’t really start planning until six months out.

18 years. We both hate being centre of attention and new my family would have insisted on some kind of do.

Planned a holiday that took us through Vegas and though, well why not and got married there just us and two friends we were travelling with us.

We didn’t really get engaged. We decided to get married and did it 3 weeks later (basically as soon as we could) - I suppose technically after deciding to marry we were engaged but there wasn’t a proposal or a ring, just a discussion.

Together for nine years, then ready to actually marry so got engaged, set a date and married 12 months later.

boobot1 · 03/06/2025 08:15

2 years. Mainly due to the wedding venue.

Engaged after just under 6 months and married a year later, 26 year anniversary soon.
