    This one will throw a curve ball into things...

    I was 27 when we got engaged (he was 37). We were together for a little over a month before getting engaged. I was still 27 when we got married. We are still together 6 1/2 years later!
  • 21 when we were engaged. Dated for almost a year. 22 years at marriage. Still married for 25 years. Hope this helps.

    When we met, I was 18 and he was 20, he was only a year older but the way our birthdays fell it sometimes looked like two. We met in March, got engaged in August, he left for 6 months on a deployment (he was military), he came back in April, we were married in May. At that point, I was 19 and he was 21 (again because of the birthdays). We were married for 10 years. We still occasionally talk. It wasn't a bad break up, just crazy circumstances.
  • Met May 1987 Me 18 him 24
    Moved in together July 1987 (yeah that was quick)
    Engaged Sept 1987

    How old were you when you got engaged? Me-20, Hubby- 21

    How old were you when you got married? 20 & 21

    We met in July 1999, and officially started dating on August 21, 1999. I was 22, he was 24.
    We got engaged on December 22, 2000. I was 23, he was 26. He chose the date because he didn't want the ring/engagement to be seen as a Christmas gift, but he really was ready to pop the question and that just happened to be the time of year. We dated 17 months before getting engaged.
    We got married April 6, 2002. I was 25, he was 27. Our engagement was just over 15 months long.
    We are still together - our 10th anniversary is this year. There have been many bumps in the road, a few really hard times, and I tend to zig when he zags, but we are still in love and going strong.
