I have been with my future husband for 21 years it will be nearly 24 when we tie the knot is there anyone else who waited this long...............lol...x
We met back in 2000. Dated, broke up. Dated, broke up. Then got together back 2004-ish and got engaged in 2009.
We dated for 9 years when he proposed, when we get married we will have been together for about 10.5 years!
We dated for 5 years before he proposed. My good friend and her husband dated for 10+ years before they got engaged.
Still waiting for a proposal at year 14.5 but your story makes me feel good I can still have hope :) - Thanks, I really needed some hope of that after this past month of less-than-one-year couples getting hitched.
2 years and a couple months into it we were engaged. I feel that he felt pressured to buy a nice ring in order to pop the question so he waited till he could afford it. Though we were practically living together since after the first few months. (We were always sleeping over at each other's place.) He gets it from his idiot family and friends about getting a ring. NOT ME. I specifically asked NOT to have a ring. I am not a ring person. But he is.
Though with my first relationship, we were together for 11 years. Yep! (We met in h.s.) and even when we were 24-25 years old, he STILL "wasn't ready". Then shortly broke up stating religious differences and going nuts after losing a lot of money post recession. 
It wasn't like I was pressuring to be engaged. I just asked "So what's in store for our future? Do you have any plans? I think we should discuss this..." I guess it did not help that we ended up going long-distance for a good amount of those years.
So truly depends on the guy.
I'd known him for a few years before we started dating, but I guess it was about 15 months from our first 'date' to his proposal.
We had dated for 3 years and 8 months when he proposed. We were both 34 at the time of the proposal.
He recently asked me how long would I have waited for a proposal.... my answer: 4 years (in total).
He proposed right at two years! Threw me a surprise birthday party (1st one I've ever had) and proposed. When we get married, I'll be two months shy of my 40th birthday. This is my first marriage. I'm so excited.
We had been together 4 1/2 years when he proposed. When we get married, we'll have been together just shy of 6 1/2 years.
8 years! And EVERYONE wants to know "what the problem was"! Sheesh--there was not problem. We just weren't ready to get married until now.
Got engaged after 2.5 years of dating and got married 1.5 years after he proposed.
8 years here too! We are really taking our time, we still don't have a date. Like JennyW1, everyone keeps asking what the hold up is... I don't know what is taking us so long, but then, we have our whole lives together, so what's the rush?
He is 34 however, so I am hoping he and I both, will be ready in the next year or so... 
We were together for 4 years before he proposed! I think it allowed us to be even more sre of our fututre together.
Four years and a couple of months for us.
My parents have been together for twenty-eight years and still haven't made it legal.
Almost six years! By the time we get married, it will have been 7 years... and one month.
My aunt was with her husband for about 10 or more years before they got married. They are both in their 50s. My friend was with her guy 7yrs before he proposed, they met at 20 while we were in college. (we're 29 now)
11 months. We had been talking about marriage by our 5th month together, and he proposed at the end of a week of biking and camping. When you're both 41 and you're surviving 80 miles of biking per day together, sharing a pup tent, and checking out each other's saddle sores, you kind of know you are ready.
9 months was all I had to wait. We just knew we were right for one another. People werent happy and had doubts but we've been together for almost 3 years now and I think people get it haha
almost 6 years. It got to the point that most people had stopped asking us when we were getting married... but some of you ladies have waited way longer than me!
we're high school sweethearts and have been together for over 10 years now. still no proposal. getting frustrated. i hear ya!
i waited 4 years. not as long as some people here, but we knew we wanted to get married since at least 2 years into our relationship, so i felt i waited a long time. long enough for me to be checking out the "30" boards, LOL! (i just turned 30 three months ago)
We were together 3 years when he proposed. I was totally suprised, he said he would never get married again and I was totally fine with that. I was floored when he went down on one knee and proposed. I actually thought he was just drunk.
We celebrated our 1st anniversary in August, and he proposed on Oct 15 ;-) perfect!! Can't be happier.
we were friends for about a year, i was dating another guy and then we got together. approx 3 weeks later he told me he was going to buy me a ring (he asked me to move in with him and i said no) and we married within 6mths
We've been together 13.5 years and got engaged almost four years ago. Life kind of got in the way of our plans once we got engaged. We're getting it done now, though! :)
Just shy of three years when we got engaged and were married six months later.
