    Hi Bees! I posted this question in the relationships forum too but then I thought I might get more responses here...So I'm posting here too Cool...How old were you when you got engaged and how long were you with your SO when you got engaged? I'm 24 and it'll be four years with my boyfriend next week. We've also been living together for three of those years. And we've been friends for 7 years. So I'm about ready, haha. But I just wanted to see what everyone elses expierences were?

    Here goes, lol... I was 15 he was 17 when he proposed we had been together only short of 2 days from our three month anniversary but we had a very long engagement (we got married 4 days before our 4 year anniversary) so we was engaged for 3 years and 9 months before we got married and living together for about 9 months when we got married.. I think I'm the youngest on here so far with the whole what age did you get engaged. lol

    We will have known each other for 10 months (yes, months!) on our wedding day :)

    We got engaged a little shy of 6 months together, though he got the ring (his grandmothers from his mom) after only 3.

    We are both turning 32 in July - he's 11 days older than me!  And with one exception, the youngest in relation to me I have ever dated.

    FI and I met and became friends in 2000, and we started dating in June 2005 (at age 20).  We dated about four years before getting engaged in August 2009 (at 24), and we'll get married in December 2011 (age 26 for him, 27 for me)--so we'll have been together 6.5 years at that point.

    I had to ask FI to do some of the remembering for me, yikes!
