    It took 6 years before we got engaged. :happy: Sounds long, but we were both really young when we first started dating and we were mainly just trying to save up money so we could have a nice wedding and honeymoon. We already knew we were going to get married eventually, so it wasn't a rush. We just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary last month.

    A year and 10 months. But we knew as soon as we met we were gonna marry each other, but he wanted to not only ask for my hand to my parents, which he did a full year before even getting a ring, he wanted to propose in front of all my family--and since we live 1200 miles away from them, it took a while! :laugh: But he proposed Thanksgiving of last year because when else is all the family together at one place without seeming suspicious? lol

    Five months for first husband. I was widowed less than a year later. Three and a half-years for second husband and we've been married almost 33 years.

    Now one of my sons started dating his sweetheart in high school and took 10 years before proposing. They were married last summer.

    His first proposal was on our offical 1st date (I was 16). His second was 2 years later at my high school graduation. We've been married for 13 years.

    My husband proposed after one month, but I didn't accept. I proposed to him after one year and two months, and we got married that same day..3 kids and 16.5 years later, we are more in love now than ever. Good luck to you!

    My wife officially proposed after 5 months of dating. The conversation about who would propose came up about 3 weeks before that. But we were living together after a week from the day we met, married after 14 months of meating, and married now for 1.5 years.

    We were together about 4.5-5 years before I got a "proposal" and I didn't even get a proposal...we were spending a day running around shops just looking at jewelry and other stuff to pass time and on the car ride between shops he said "well, just make sure you pick one you want to be stuck with forever".

    yup..ever the romantic...that's my husband...
