How long were you together before you got engaged?

[RiverdaleJughead]

Disclosure - I do not want my DP to propose or to be engaged yet but I'm just wondering what the average relationship length is before you get engaged? My parents were engaged 4 months after meeting each other ( which I know is unusual) and I've been with DP for 4 years and no ring is on either of our horizons right now.
How long were you with your DP before you got engaged ?

18 months to engagement. Four years to marriage. Twelve years to the divorce. 😆

Two years, but in that time I was getting divorced from ex DH so I think it would have been sooner if it wasn't for that.

About six months, I asked him I think and we got married about 9 months later. I just knew he was the one, husband material, not boyfriend material. 25 years this August, how times flies!

Moved in after 1 yr
Engaged after 2
Married after 3

Got pregnant after 4
Had baby after 5
Got pregnant after 6
Had baby after 7
That was two years ago and am still wondering what's happening next

Moved in after 7 months and engaged after 3 years. Will be a couple of years before we have a wedding (we are lucky enough to live in a country where legal common law relationships exist so we are already legally covered by that).

Blind date, he went away on holiday for 2 weeks after the one date then we got engaged a week later, married 8 weeks after that. Total time 11 1/2 weeks

Married 15 1/2 years and he's still the love of my life

Got engaged 3 months after we met and married 7 months later. No point hanging about if you find a good thing!

Engaged after 6 weeks, still engaged 11 years later.........

Met in October,pregnant 5 weeks later,engaged 2 weeks after that,Married May,baby born July,pregnant again December!! A very busy 14 months of my life.
I was 19,he was 22,everyone gave us a year if that.
That was 22 years ago we met,now got 6 children and married 21years in May.

Engaged after five years, then finally got married after another five years 😀 Married twelve years this year. We met very young and I don't know where the bloody time has gone!

Engaged after 6 months married a year later, celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary later this year

I've had 3 long term relationships - first one four years, second one 8 years and this one 6 years. No ring so far! I am not too fussed about being married though.

Living together after 1.5 years (with a view to this being marriage material), decided we were sure to get married after about another year but delayed engagement until we had a date set so our official engagement lasted a year and a day. With my DH for just over 4 years when we got married. That was 11 years ago.

I had been engaged before (student at the time, wish I had the wit to say it was too young/soon/no rush) grew apart from then bf, (who wasn't nice with a drink in him) and had never set a date. I didn't want to announce an engagement without a wedding date or being sure (hence living together a while). There were nearly ten years between my two engagements so I think I had grown up a bit.

Met at 18 & knew immediately it was going to be serious.

He proposed on our 10 year anniversary & we got married a year later.

Lots of reasons why it took so long....didn't want to get married while at uni, both had to move around for jobs so we couldn't live together for a while...and just felt too young really!

Now married 15 years and have 3 children.

5 years, been together 7 years now but still not married as neither of us can be arsed to arrange a wedding

Got engaged after 2 months, married 8 months later and had our dd 2 months after that. It's our 7th wedding anniversary in May and we've had another 2 dc together (already had ds1 when we met).

Got engaged after 5 years together, married a year later and have been married for nearly 14 years now and have 3 DC.

We were a couple for about 2 years before we got engaged. but we did buy a house first. Got married once the house was finished.

Almost 3 years, married 9 months later. Married for 14 years this year.

2 weeks.

Pregnant with DS1 2 months after that.

Married 2 years to the day of DS's conception.

Together 6 months then engaged. Engaged for 5 months then married. Didn't live together. Married for 17 years. 😀

My dh and I were engaged 8 months after we got together.
1st met in April 2014, got together in May 2014, decided to try for a baby in July 2014, I got pregnant in November 2014. We got engaged in January 2015, and got married in April 2015.
We'd discussed getting married and agreed we both wanted to, but never officially got engaged. Once we knew we were having a baby we both knew we wanted to be married 1st.
We actually got married on the exact date we'd been together for 11 months (became a couple on May 9th 2014, got married April 9th 2015). A lot of people think we were mad to be married within a year of being together, and to be expecting a baby, but we knew it was what we both wanted

Engaged after a year, married 10 months after the engagement. Second time round for me but so much better than the first time, despite the shorter timing!

Engaged after 5 years (living together for 3), married the following year. Will be 10yrs married this autumn

Engaged theee years after being together, but with a five year engagement so was together eight years before getting married.
