    Engaged when I was 26 (he was 39) we dated 4 1/2 years before we married after a 6 month (rough) engagement.
    Married 20 tumultuous years with three children.

    I re-married when I was 47 (he was 53 never been married) we got engaged 6 weeks after meeting and married 6 months later. Been married 3 very, very happy years!

    We met in March 2008 and he proposed 3 weeks later (I was 43 and he was almost 40)... we got engaged officially in April 2008 and married in November 2009... still together and happier than ever....

    However... my first time was... engaged in July 1988 (after being together for 16 months) and married in October 1988 ( I was 23 and he was 31)... separated in 2007, so together for 19 years......

    Hope this is of use..... :)

    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!

    Had to quote so I remember the questions. :ohwell:

    24 when we got engaged - he was 21. We had been together 4 months, known each other 9. We were married 3 months later. Still together, 14 1/2 years later.
