    How old were you when you got engaged? How long had you been together before getting engaged? How old were you when you got married? Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Doing some informal research for a class - answers appreciated!

    Engaged at 20, after dating 1 year 2 months (knew each other 6 years). Married at 22. We have been married almost 3 years, and loving it :)

    I was engaged in 2006 and married in 2007 at the age of 19 (for both). We got married on our 3 year dating anniversary so I think we were together about 2.5 years when we got engaged. We're still together and have been married for 5 years this March. All together that means we've been together for 8 years.

    My husband was 21, I was 20 when we got engaged.
    We had been together for 3 months when he popped the question !!
    We got married 8 months later - he had just turned 22 and I was still 20 (but almost 21 ! !).
    And that was 30 years ago ! ! We're still together, and our 31st anniversary will be on June 5th - can't hardly believe it ! !
