    How old were you when you got engaged? Proposed on my 21st birthday
    How long had you been together before getting engaged? Since highschool, 4 years.
    How old were you when you got married? Married at 25.
    Are you still together (if so, for how long)? 14 years married, still together :)

    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!

    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 ! !

    We were married in Oct. of 2008 I was 25 he was 34

    first (so far only) child in June of 2011 (I was 27 and he was 36, nearly 37 his birthday is 5 days after our son's)

    Still together, still happy although having a baby does strain the relationship a bit.

    I know that was more info than you asked for but I felt like it rounded out the time line.
