         How long were you and your husband/wife/fiance together before getting engaged? Also, how old were you at the time and what part of the country are you from? I'm curious if there are any patterns between these factors!

    We was two days short of our three month anniversary when he asked me to marry him. Although we had a super long engagement which was 3 years & 9 months, before we got married. Also we had been living together for 9 months before we got married. We got married 4 days before our 4 year anniversary! :-) Oh forgot to add we live in VA but are from KY. I was 15 he was 17 when we started dating, same age when he asked me to marry him & I'll be 20 this September he will be 22 this November. (I think this post is GREAT!) Alot of people get married young in KY/VA/WV. Id like to see how it runs in other places in the states & World!

    stephanie920    November 19, 2011   Washington, DC (wedding in Tampa, FL)

    He proposed at almost five years. We started dating when I was 19 and he was 21- I'll be 25 and he'll be 27 when we get married. I'm from Indiana, went to school in Florida (where we met), and now we live in DC--  people in this area get married and have kids "later in life" becuase of crazy jobs, and I totally understand. (not that I consider 25 "later in life....)
