    When we got Engaged: I was 18 he was 20 (2000)
    We had been together for 13 months before getting engaged
    Got married when I was 21 he was 22, it was a month before his 23 birthday (2003)
    We are still together, and happy, and will be celebrating our 9th Wedding anniversary in August, with our three kids :)

    I was 26, he was 37. We'd only known each other about 2 months before he asked me to marry him, got married 3 months after that. Been married for almost 31 years. Would I do it that way again? No. But on the other hand I wouldn't change anything either, because of our 2 sons. They are exactly who I want them to be...

    "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!"



    We were both 23 when we got engaged. We had been together for 5 months at that point. When we got married we were still both 23 and had been together for just 6 months, because he was going to be deployed over our original wedding date. In our original plan we would have both been 24, and together for a year. We are still together, coming up on two months! Totally newlyweds still. He'll be deployed soon.

    First Time

    Met: summer of '98, we were both 12
    Lost touch
    Met again June '02, I was 15, he was 16
    Sarted Dating March '03, we were both 16.
    Engaged late '03 or early '04 (can't remember) We were both 17, we had dated about a year
    Married April 2005, He was 19 I was 18, we were engaged a little over a year.
    We separated Oct 2005, both 19, only married 6 mos.
    Divorced July 2007
    Together total 2 years 7 mos

    Second Time

    We met July 2005: I was almost 19 he was 23

    Started Dating Officially: Nov 2005, knew each other 4 mos. I was 19 he was 24.

    Here's where it gets tricky: We got pregnant Dec 2005, welcomed our baby Aug 2006, bought a house Nov 2006, and started planning the Wedding for July 2007.

    Technically engaged (he got the ring and "popped the question"): May 2007, so I guess we "dated" for 1 yr 5 mos

    Married July 2007: I was 20 he was 25. So we were technically engaged 2 mos. Still married, 4 yrs 7 mos.

    So been together total about 6 yrs 4 mos.

    I was 19 and in college when he proposed to me. He was 2 years older than me and we had been dating for just under a year. We waited until he graduated to get married almost 5 years ago so we've been married 5 years in June and together for a total of 9 years. (Yes we're still together) I was 22 when we got married.
