    we met in Jan. of 2006 I was 22 he was 31.

    we started dating in May of 2007 I was 23 he was 32

    We were engaged in Jan. of 2008 I was 24 he was 33

    We were married in Oct. of 2008 I was 25 he was 34

    first (so far only) child in June of 2011 (I was 27 and he was 36, nearly 37 his birthday is 5 days after our son's)

    Still together, still happy although having a baby does strain the relationship a bit.

    I know that was more info than you asked for but I felt like it rounded out the time line.

    2 kids, not very happy now, would never have stayed together if it had not been for the kids.

    How old were you when you got engaged? Both 25
    How long had you been together before getting engaged? Known each other since 18, had a fling along the way, started dating properly at 23.
    How old were you when you got married? Both 25.
    Are you still together (if so, for how long)? No, together 13 years, separated then divorced two years later.

    We got engaged when I was 22, and he was 23. We had been together 11 months before we got engaged. We were married 6 1/2 months later, I was 22, and he was 23. We have been married for 15 years this past November. This coming May we will have been a couple for 17 years. Oh yeah, we met on a blind date!!

    I was 21, he was 23 when we got married.
    I knew him for about 9 months and we dated for about 7.
    We never got formally engaged, we just started talking about what we would do "when we got married."
    Our 20th wedding anniversary will be in August.

    He's my best friend. :heart:

    This might really throw off your results... We met when she was 21 and I was 24. We can't get married because it's not legal in our state. Been together for 18 wonderful years and I wouldn't change a moment of it!

    Round #1 - Got engaged at 19 after 6 months together. Got married a year and a half later at age 20. Was unhappy for 10 years until he left.

    Round # 2 - Got engaged at age 32 after a year together. Got married two weeks later. We are on the brink of our 6th anniversary. Have honestly never been happier in my life. :)

    Me and my husband got engaged about about 6 weeks... I was 18.
    We got married when we had been together just over 2 years. I was 20
    We've now been married just over 2 years and I'm 23 :)
