    took me six months and most of that was trying to walk again so I could get on one knee..although still didn't manage that bit.
    I guess when you know and everything is right (house, money, stuff) then why wait?

    I told him he has to wait a year. But I would not want to date longer than 3 before we got hitched. He asked 1 year and 1 week after we started to date and got married 5 months later. Been married for 1 1/2 years.

    Wow there certainly is no set time by the looks of it! In reply to shredded tweet, age is just a number, I am old beyond my years and have seen more of this world than most people in their 30s!

    We met at the beginning of college and I had plans for professional school. Thus, we waited until our lives/careers were figured out and we were both in a good place and he was able to support us financially while I finished school. So for us it was almost 4 years.
