Just curious how long people were dating before he popped the question - and after getting engaged, how long did it take you to set a date?

What were some of the things that you took into consideration when setting a date? We were engaged in May of 2011 (this year) and still have not set an exact date yet!(we have a general idea - but......) (By the way - we had been dating almost a year and half when he proposed..)

    We had been dating for 9 months, we set a date within a week of being engaged. By the time we are married we will have been engaged for 16 months.

    We met January 28, 2008 . . . i lived in LA and he lived in NYC. i moved to NYC and into his apartment on July 6, 2008 -- the third time we had seen each other!!

    he proposed on November 28, 2010, and we set the date while we were still on that trip.

    the wedding is january 28, 2012. Four years after we met. Smiley surprise)

    We were dating for about 6 months before he proposed and we had a date picked out within a couple of weeks. We'll be together about a year an a half on our big day.

    Dated for 6 years, had a 1 year engagement with no planning, then I planned the wedding in 6 months. When setting my date I considered the birth of my niece, I wanted her to be big enough to come to the wedding, she was 8.5 weeks on my date, worked out perfect.

    We were together for 5 months when he popped the question... he started talking about marriage at 4 months... and we are getting married in less than a year now. But we will be together for a year and 7 months by the time we get married.

    And he had the date in mind before he popped the question =)

    @Candace- we are almost twins! I met my FH 10/30/2010. He kind-of proposed 12/26 but proposed for real 1/27/11. We will have been together 11 months when we get married.

    Oh and we set the date about 1-2 weeks later.

    We dated for a little over a year before we got engaged. We started talking about it 3 months into the relationship though.

    We set the date the day we got engaged.

    We had been together for 3yrs and i picked the date cause i was in school at the time and i wanted to be finished before i started planning the wedding which i'm very glad i did cause i would not have been able to do both, and i wedding date is our 7year anniversary so it has a lot of meaning plus FH can never forget it cause it's been our anniversary for years

    We knew each other since high school, began dating in Feb 2010, got engaged Sept 2010, getting married Oct 2011 Smiley smile

    We originally chose June 2011 but ended up choosing October 2011 in October 2010, so it took us a few weeks to decide the date. We will have been together for over a year and a half when we get married.

    We were actually dating for 3 years and 8 months before we got engaged back in April... Setting a date only took me a few weeks because I always knew I wanted a fall wedding... Hope we can stick with it (as long as we find a place)

    Dated for 5 years before getting engaged. By the time we get married, we will have been together for 6 1/2. We chose a date within about a month after getting engaged. Had to take into consideration my brother's wedding (he was married this last March so we pushed it back to 2012).
