    Short-- just over 9 months. Long enough to plan our wedding and then plan our honeymoon after.

    Relatively short, a little over a year. Is that considered short? LOL

    Long (?) - 16 months between proposal and wedding. I feel like 16-18 months is pretty average though.

    Short. 6 months almost exactly. We got engaged on April 13th and are saying "I Do" on October 12th. His cousin had a 3 week engagement though (not for any reason other than they didnt want to wait). So I dont feel like mine is that short anymore. Lol
