I was just curious about other couples on this site. Some people may be aware, but I'm not engaged yet, I just wanted to play with the inspiration boards. We are planning on getting engaged, I'm just concerned about it being "too soon." I would like my parents to keep speaking to me... He's thinking...

    We were dating for almost 4 years (2 months shy of 4 years) and the engagement will be for 20 months. I knows it's a long rime but it worked out best for us. While engaged he finished school, we lived together then in may of 2008 we bought our house.

    Sorry we did all that while dating before we got engaged. The long engagement is because I was a moh in q wedding in may of 09 and I didn't want to start planning mine until after hers.

    We dated for 3 1/2 years before getting engaged and our engagement is about 2 1/2 years. we're both still in school and we need the time to save money and just to enjoy the planning.

    We started dating in April 2007 and he proposed on Jan 17, 2010. We had known for a while that's where we were headed so we had begun planning. Just were waiting for me to find my ring Smiley smile. If you're having a long engagment that will help you in learning more about your FH. I wish you best of luck and remember to do what makes you happy regardless of what others may think.

    We were together for about 7 months when he asked me. We had met in August and formed a friendship first. We will have been engaged for about a year when we get married. Thought that was a good amount of time to plan.
