How long did you wait to get engaged?

Let's here the stories!! I'm not, yet, because we haven't been together very long, but I am a FIRM believer in "when you know you know".

    We started talking in Nov '10 but we weren't officially in a relationship until March of '11. We got engaged on 8/5/12 so about a year and a half :-)

    But I knew before we were even official that he was "The One" .. he just took a little bit longer to realize it lol

    We knew from our very first date that we were meant for each other. I never believed in the "when you know, you know" saying until it happened to me. We moved in together 4 months after we got back together (broke up for reasons OTHER than our relationship for a 4 month span) and he proposed 5 months later. So 9 months in we got engaged (although before we broke up we were together for 3 months) and will be married at 2 years Smiley smile

    4 months is when I chose my ring, 2and a half months he kept hinting at us getting married, he was terrified to tell me he loved me but the rest came so easy, I told him I run when people say I love you... I've ran for less than those words. At 2 and a half months we started planning a vacation an he kePt telling me Vegas. And I told him nope if we're doing it were doing it right. At so short a time I thought everyone would think we were crazy, but everyone is crazy supportive. He said when you know you know, why wait four years when you know it's the one? His sister met a man and married him 2 months later at the courthouse.

    Also, side note: I was TERRIFIED of marriage before I met him, that's part of the reason I know he's so perfect for me Smiley smile

    We were engaged after about a year and a half, but we had discussed it seriously for a while.

    3.5 months when we got engaged seems like a short time but we are absolute perfect for one another. He made me realize that when you know it you know it statement really does exist. God and my passed away father had a hand in us getting together I know it. We have been married a month and a week and I see us together until we die.

    We got engaged after being together for 3 years and 4 months. Within the first year we started talking about it. After 3 months of dating he wanted me to move in with him, it took me 6 more months to finally move in. We got engaged may 2011. We will be engaged for 2 years before we get married and by the time we get married it will be 5 years and 5 months together. I knew within the first month I wanted to marry him though.
