    I was 18 when I got engaged, my husband was 19. We knew each other for 3 years before that, (I met him in high school) but had only gone out for 1 year before we decided to get married. I was 19 when we tied the knot...and it's been 1 year and 2 months since then! lol

    Um...I got engaged 2 months after getting together with my now ex husband. I had been trying to get his attention for about 6 month before this. We were married within 18 months - I was 24. We seperated after 3 and a half years and divorced after 4 and a half.

    I am currently engaged. We had been together for 15 months before this engagement. We have been together for 3 years now and are in no rush to sign the official papers. Even discussing just getting my name changed by deedpoll instead of tying the knot officially.

    Hope this helps x

    We were both 28 when we met in June 2008. We never really became officially engaged - we just said "let's get married" (no ring or actual proposal) one day in November. We had a civil ceremony 2 weeks later. So, met and married in 6 months, and we've been married a little over 3 years now.

    We were together for 2 years before we married. Much of that time was spent living together as once I spent the night, I basically just never left. :happy: Our engagement was just a few months of arranging schedules to get our folks to our backyard wedding. We are closing in on our 14 year wedding anniversary.

    Edited to add: We are both the same age so...we were 21 upon meeting, 22 upon getting together/moving in, 24 for getting married. Just babies!
