Engaged/thinking of getting married?

[YRose123]

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to know when everyone decided to get married or was proposed to/got engaged!...

Been having a lot of 'when we get married' talks with my partner and just thought it would be interesting to hear everyone's proposal stories 😊
And when it felt right for you in your relationship to take your relationship status further to partner-fiancé/husband wife...

@YRose123

I think ideally is anywhere but your living room for a proposal....LOL.

Im not sure if ever is the right time, my aunty and uncle have been together for 30 years and aren't Married, they have a 21 year old daugter.

On the other hand I was married for almost 4 years until i found out that my wife who id been with almost 10 years cheated on me, we have two children and have now been separated 4 years next month and divorced for 9 months.

Its very much a grey area with long term relationships, engagements and marriages. Ive known marriages to last less than a year after splashing out £50k on one but then you hear of people that have been married for 60+ years and still very happy.

Only you and your partner will do it when its right, once is a proposal made with receivership of the answer YES then you can both plan from there....

I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that your future is a very happy one and long lasting.

With my first 'boyfriend', he proposed too late.
And in my front room in front of my family.
Nightmare - I didn't want to marry him but had to go along with it at the time.
I called the wedding off 6 months before it was due to happen.
Another bloody nightmare.
We'd been together since teens and he'd taken 6/7 years to propose.
I was over it by then TBH.

2nd one, he proposed about 6 months in and we were married 8 months later!

There is no 'answer' to this.
It is when you are 'ready', both of you, to take it to the next level.

We had been together just over 10 years when we got engaged but we met at school and did the whole uni, travelling, saving for a house, buying house, doing it up, more travelling thing. After we were in our house about 18 months, he asked if I wanted to get married one day, i said yeah i probably would (had previously been very anti marriage). He then said he needed to save for a ring and it would take about a year so we would revisit in a year. A year later he asked.
