How long have you known your fiancé?

My fiance and I met online in December of 2016. We got engaged on our two year anniversary this past December. By the time we get married we will be together for three and a half years. But I have multiple friends who have been with their significant other for less than a year and got married six months later and other who have been together five years and still don't want to be engaged/married. Everyone has their own timing and no one has the right to tell you what is best for your own relationship! I do agree having a longer engagement is nice though with you being still in school it can be stressful dealing with both planning a wedding and school! Best of luck to your in both adventures! 🙂

Only you know what’s right for you! If it works, that’s what matters. Don’t let others steal your joy. My love and I have been together for 3 years and got engaged 3 months before our 3 year anniversary. His stepmother said “finally” and even made a post on FB tagging us saying how he had “finally proposed to me.” I couldn’t possibly care less about her opinion or anyone elses. It’s our life and was the perfect timing for US and I’ve never been happier. 😍 Congratulations on your engagement!

Everyone is different, and every couple is different. FH and I got engaged about a week before our 5th anniversary. My little sister got married just 11 months after meeting her now-husband. (They got engaged after 4-5 months of dating, and I was very tentative on it for awhile. But for them, that worked.) In my case, I wanted and hoped FH would be "the one" by the time we'd been dating a few months. When we got engaged, a lot of people were saying "finally", as if we'd waited too long or something.

My FH and I met a year ago and were engaged within 8 months. I knew he was the person I was going to marry after our first date. We began talking about it within the first couple of months. When you know you know. My aunt and uncle started talking about marriage within 2 weeks of meeting and were married within the year. 23 years later they have 3 kids and are still as happy as ever. Everyone's story is different! Congrats to you guys and happy planning!

I met FH in 2017 and we started dating about a month or so later. It had been over a year and a half when I asked if I could have his last name (June 2nd). One month from today is our two year anniversary, and by the time we get married we'll have been together for just over three years.

My fiancé and I met 1 year before he proposed. When we get married we will have been together 16 months. We've both been married before and are an older couple. We pretty much knew within 6 months we were a perfect match!

Congratulations on your engagement!! Try not to let the opinions of others get you down. You are the only one who knows what you have found in your fiance. No one else has the same vantage point as you; therefore, no one else has enough information to comment on your relationship..especially not a coworker.

I've known FH for four years and we've been dating for two and a half years. We will be married close to the three year mark. I get comments about the short engagement. I said yes..why should we wait longer than seven months?

We’ve known each other for 12 years. Since we were kids. Been together the past two.

I have been with my fh 10 years, and we just got engaged in December 2018. We started talking about marriage very early, probably within a year of dating, but we had our bumps and problems and are working though them. Time is just a number, you could meet someone in no time and it could work or not work just like if you know someone 15 years and it could work or not work.

When you know you just know. I think the people commenting have clearly not been in a relationship that they just knew early on.

When I started dating DH I knew we'd be together a long time but we were both previously married and I had told myself I was never getting married again and he said he felt the same way so I pushed the marriage thoughts out of my head. 1.5 years later we were engaged and eloped 2 months after that. Honestly though if we hadn't both been bitter about our previous marriages we would have gotten engaged much sooner.

Haters gonna hate. Do what works for y'all.

I met FH when we were kids....12 or 13. We have a picture together from going to a school dance with the year 2000 behind us. We drifted apart and 16 years later reconnected at the age of 28. We dated for 3 years before he proposed and now we will be getting married next year 😊

My husband and I originally met in sophomore year of high school and were casually friendly throughout. Then, we ran into each other 5 years later and reconnected. We started dating shortly after and were together for just shy of 6 years when we got engaged and a little over 6 years when we got married.

My parents knew each other for 6 months when they got married. They have been happily married for 33 years as of now. Sometimes, when you know, you know. We lived together for 5 years, so we were clearly very serious about each other, but we didn't want to rush into marriage. People were surprised when we moved in together after a year, and they said that was too soon. There will always be those that have things to say. I do agree with an earlier poster about counseling for you guys given your pasts (individual and couple).

I’ve known my fiancé since We were in 5 grade back in 2008! Been together since 2015 and got engaged in 2016😊

Hey doll!! I've known my husband for 2008 we were friends and we dated for 1year before he proposed and we were only engaged for 3 months before we were married! I heard it all to,but the main ppl were ppl that weren't even in a relationship I went with my heart and if it was to get broken I was ok with it because I loved him and he loved me fast forward and now April 10th 2020 we will be celebrating 10 years of marriage! How exciting and renewing our vows. Just go with your heart!

2 years now. We had been together for year and half when he proposed

We met on September 2. So, next month we will have known each other for two years, but, we grew up a mile away from each other and didn’t meet until we were 30.

I have known my Fiancé since kindergarten and we have been together for almost 5 years.

I've known my fiance for 4 years. We met July 4, 2015 and got engaged February 9, 2019. Will be married May 1, 2020. We are both 2 people that did not see a need in rushing anything. His parents wanted us engaged after like 8 months and that was way too soon for us. But I was also still in college and it was important for me to get my education and "big girl job" before I was ready for that next step (not that I wouldn't have accepted a proposal but I wouldn't have started planning my wedding until after that), and I didn't graduate college until May 2018, received my job in November, and he started planning his proposal in December (unbeknownst to me). That timing was perfect for us and something that was important to me. He didn't see a rush and neither did I. Now, his parents met and got engaged after 2 weeks, got married 6 months later and just celebrated 30 years together. My sister got married after dating for 1 year and got divorced 15 months later. I know people who have been together for 8 years and get divorced. I don't think there is a wrong or right way to any of this!! If you know that's your soulmate, go for it! Who cares what anyone else thinks!

I met my fiancé April 25, 2017. So two years ago. And our wedding will be our three year anniversary. He knew from the moment he met me I was the one. He wanted to wait to propose until I finished college 2020. But he couldn’t and in the spur of the moment one evening he bought a ring and four days later got down on one knee. Everybody who knows us never questioned it. We’re great together. Strangers sometimes think it’s strange that we’re marrying so soon. But whatever. Haha, I love this man.
