We dated a little over a year...can't say exactly b/c I am not sure when we became official.....We were friends for the last 4 years, and by our engagement is only 7 months! Can't wait to be a HAM!

We were together for 5 years when we got engaged and we will be together 6 and half years when we get married.

I found out later that he returned my first ring choice for my new choice. Needless to say, he could not do it in enough time for our trip (we went to Vegas for our 1 yr anniversary). So he proposed on NYE, 9 days shy of our 13 month anniversary. We will have been together for 2 years, 4 months and 14 days by the time we wed.

We have decided to move our wedding date up. Our new wedding date is Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Which means as a couple we will have dated 1 year & 22 days by the time we were engaged and engaged 1 year 8 months and 29 days by the time we are husband and wife. I was watching a show and a couple had gotten married on NYE. I was thinking that by NYE 2010, we will have been married for 3+ months. . Isn't life interesting....

We've been dating for 5 years and it'll be close to 6 when we get married! I can't believe it's been that long...time goes sooo fast!

[liujessicam]

we've been dating for 5 years and 2 months

many of my friends dated their husbands/fiancees for less time that I did!

I agree SilverAngel time DOES fly fast!

FI and I met online and met in person two weeks after we started talking. Little over a month after meeting he proposed the first time- sort of unplanned, blurting it out (very cute). The Official proposal came at 1 year 10 months. And we will have been together 3 1/2 years when we get married.

My FI and I met and were friends for 2 years before we officially started dating. We were together for 5 years and 3 months before he proposed. And we will be just shy of 6 years when we get married!

We planned on marrying within a year after the engagement, but so much happened... we bought a house and completely renovated it, I quit my job as a Flight Attendant to go back to school, and we've just been so busy. We'll be together now for 4 years by the time we get married.

For a second I thought you were telling my story. Lol.
We were together 4 months when we got engaged. He asked me just before we went to London to meet his family. We bought a house and are both still finishing school so the wedding plans were put on hold. We will have been together about 4 years when we finally get married.

I was with my FI for almost two years when he proposed... and we will be together almost four years when we get married in May..
