How long did you date before enagaged?

We were together 7 years before we got married but we were "friends" (read as: we used to make out with each other on & off) for about 2.5 years before that...

We have been together for 20 years, living together for 18 and have three children. When we get married it will one month off of 21 years. Have known him for 26 years. :-)

Yes, I don't like to rush things

You take the cake! No need to rush things.....we're really only getting married as a family formality to have children....his family a little old fashioned!

4 1/2 years and I thought that was a long time!

He proposed after 1 yr and 1 month of dating. Our 2 yr anniversary is end of July. We knew right away though, in first 2 weeks.

This is alittle late but My husband and I dated for 10 years before we got engaged and we finally were married at 11 years. Newbie and my sister is getting married in Cancun, may09

I can't BELIEVE some of you girls waited so long before getting engaged! You guys are much more patient than I am. I waited for 4.5 years before getting engaged. We will be married around our 6 year anniversary.
