HI!
We were engaged when I was 19 he was 23 after dating 1.5 years. We married when I was 20 he was 24. We've been together 8 years now .0 -
I was seventeen when I got together with my ex, engaged at 20 married at 21 and divorced at 26. It sounds so very simple when I put it together that way.0

Okay. I met my husband when I was 18. We moved in together six months later. Seven years after that, at age 25, we got engaged. We had the wedding when I was 26, so even though I have been with my husband for over eleven years we are still considered newly weds.0

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 didn't have an "engagement" period per se. We met at the age of 17 when working together at the same place. We started dating at 19, had our first son at 23 and moved in together. We then lived together until deciding to get married at the age of 28. So, in total we were together for 9 years before getting married officially (we've been married for almost 4 years now).
During our 13 years together, we have been through college graduations for both of us (different schools), the birth of our 2 sons (1 being a preemie), 2 miscarriages, moving to and living in 4 different states (due to job transfers) and much more.0 -
Ah, well...no point in being embarrassed by it now.
I knew my husband 6 weeks when we married in 1985. I was 18, he was 19. No engagement, really. On a Sunday, he said "So, we gonna get married, or what?" On Monday, we got married.
Two kids and 2 years later, we divorced. We reconciled after 4 months; remarried a year later.
Two more kids within 2 years, then divorced again in 1994, after 6 years.
Another reconciliation 6 months later. We lived together, but didn't remarry again until 2001.
We finally got it right, I think. We celebrate our "original" anniversary and will have been married 27 years this summer.0 -
1. I was 26 years old and she was 22 years old when we got engaged

We knew each other since we were babies - our dads worked together and when his mum got pregnant with him, his dad told my dad as soon as she told him!!! I was just 20 when he proposed (he was 22) and it completely blew my socks off. had known him all my life and just had no idea when he'd fallen for me or that he even had!! I turned him down and to cut a long story short, a year later I proposed to him, we were married 6 weeks after that. It's been 11 years and we have three children, we are still very much in love and in this for life:-)0

I was 22 when I became engaged. We had only known each other for about 6 months, but I knew he was the one. We were married when I was 23 and he was 24. We will have been married for 40 years on May 5, 2012. I told you he was the one.0

Let's see. I "met" Rob late 1998 on the Usenet newsgroup dfw.singles. We met in person at a newsgroup New Year's Eve party, then again at a party in late January. Went out on a date 2/6/1999 and have been together ever since.
First date: Feb. 1999 - I was 32, he was 27
Engaged: Jan 1 2000 - I was almost 33, he was 28
Married: Apr 29 2001 - I was 34, he was 29
We moved in together some time in May 99 I think, and had been together for 11 months I guess when we got engaged. But we had known for a while that this was going to be it.
So, we've been together for 13 years, and married for 11.0 -
We met at the end of March 1997, had our first date 1st April 1997, married 4th October 1997 (I was 22, he was 26 and we had known each other a little over 6 months).
3 children and 15 years later and we are still together and probably happier now than we have ever been.0 -
I was 28 when I met him, he was 42. We married 2 years later after a 6 month engagement. We will celebrate our 24th anniversary this year.0
