    Total? Married or not, how long have you been with your SO officially?

    BF and I just had our official 2 year anniversary two days ago. I only say 'officially' because he was technically supposed to be a one night stand  (we slept together in October).

    He was in my class and we talked a lot, and one night when we met up out on the town it just happened. We talked in class and 'hung out' for a while afterwards, but didn't decide to be 'official' until December. We aren't engaged yet, but he says by November of next year! We've also been living together the past six months. :)

    We will be coming up on 5 years this July 20th! It seems like soo much longer and so much shorter at the same time! ALOT has happened! But These past 5 years have so far been the best and most life changing years I've had yet! =)

    Almost eight years, or as I tell people seems like since the dawn of time. :) We've known each other since I was 12 though and he's told me that all through high school he wanted to get in my pants (see how romantic he is? lol).

    We will celebrate just 2 years on Feb 14th.

    We met on Feb 8th 2009 and first dated on Feb 14th (cheesy! We even went at 4pm to avoid the valentine's day grossness!!) engaged July 16th this year, so pretty much exactly a year and a half later. I almost ran at date #3 for fear of how good it was and not feeling that way before, before 2 months I know this was it and he was the one :)

    I'm one of the "other" answers!

    My BF and I have been together for a little over a year, but this is our second time dating.  We were high school sweethearts; we dated for just under two years before breaking up halfway through our first year of college.  So it was three years all together, but there was a five year interim in the middle.

    Officially it's hard to say because we broke up several times over the years. I've known him 9 years. We dated other people at times but always got back together. The majority of the time we've been together despite the little breakups so I'd say about 7 and a half years.

    LOL.  "For some random reason, I'm an OTHER".  LOL.

    Honey and I have been together for 1 year and 2 months.  We got engaged at 1 year and 1 month.  **BUT** we have known each other since we were 12 years old.  We went to middle school, high school, and college together.  Honey says he had a crush on me since 12, but he considered me "out of his league" and was too shy to say anything in all that time!  I don't know why, he's the most amazingly sweet guy ever and always has been!  He says he has loved me all his life and I'm glad he finally spoke up a year ago!!  Tee hee...

    @bestbuddies: SO = significant other, and DH = darling/dear husband

    No worries--It took me a little bit to figure out what all the wedding lingo and acronyms meant :)

    We have been together for a little over 5.5 years, and it feels like it has flown by!
