    Technically our engaged xD But its close! We spent 30 months dating, and 26 months engaged when all is said and done.

    BUT! Our marriage is what will beat all of that!!

    Our dating stage is shorter. We dated for a year and 4 months before getting engaged. Our engagement will be a year and 9 months by our wedding date.

    I’ve spent the better part of 20 years dating. So I don’t mind a lengthy engagement (though we agreed to be married within 2-years of him popping the question).

    Dating stage was shorter. We were dating for a year and 3 months when he proposed and we are having a 5 year engagement to be able to save our money for the wedding.

    Being engaged. We dated for 3 years before he proposed ( he's been my best friend since I was 14 though- 13 years!) and we will be engaged for about 2.75 years.

    Almost even! 11 1/2 months dating, and we'll be 1 year and 1 month engaged! So dating will be just a little bit shorter Smiley laugh
