he was going to wait for our 2yr anniversary, but once he had the ring he couldn't wait so it was exactly 1 week shy of 2 years.

honestly tho, i would have said yes after 2 weeks (and i am not impulse like that at all ... i was with my ex boyfriend 7 years). i've always heard that "when you know, you know" but i never believed it until i met him.

our wedding date is 3 days after our 4yr anniversary.

wow - can't believe all the threads I'm seeing tonight that I never posted on before now!!

DH and I met a few years before we had out first date. He asked me out for about 2 1/2 years and I kept telling him no, lol!!!

Our "first date" was Friday the 13 of May 2005.

We got engaged June 13, 2006.

He left for Iraq June 18, 2006 and returned August 23, 2007.

We were married April 19, 2008.

Lots of dates, I know!!!

But bottom line is, we dated a year before getting engaged, but knew each other for about 2 1/2 years before we started dating.

We started dating in July '07 and moved in together August '07. We got engaged October 11, '07 and we got pregnant November '07 and had our beautiful daughter August 13, '08. We are getting married May 4th, '09 :)
So, by the time we are married we will have been together 1 year and 10 months!! When you know you know.. I am happier than I have ever been and my life is so blessed!! On top of our little family we both have wonderful families that absolutely love and support us.. I couldn't ask for anything more.
