That is the cutest thing I ever heard!!! What a great story to tell people! AWWWW!

YAY!!!! Two parties in one!!!

I may have you beat. We have "dated" 24 years! Ok, I know it is extreme. It was an on again off again, on again off again,........thing. So, we waited until the kids moved out, then we decided to get married. Man I'm old. LOL

Lee and I have been together 10 years in Dec 08 and will finally be getting hitched in Summer 09

Seamus and I have been together 2 years. It will be almost three when we tie the knot. The first time around I dated my ex for 5 years, was married for 2 and then got divorced.

Oh .. I believe I'm at another extreme. Marco and I dated for only 2 weeks before he proposed to me!!

 

We met 8 years ago in uni when we were both exchange students in Canada (2 semesters for me and 1 semester for him). We were very good friends but we never dated back then. That year, I went down to Mexico for summer school and his family hosted me for 3 months. After I returned home, we kept in touch through emails on and off, and then we lost contact. About a year ago, we re-connected through facebook and felt like old friends as always. Everything just sparkled off when I visited him in Mexico (as a tag-on trip to Cuba) during last Easter.

 

With many romantic / magical moments, he surprised me with a promise ring 2 days after we went out, and an engagement ring the night before I left!! I still feel overwhelmed by the whole thing... now I believe that there's "the one" out there for everybody. Distance and time don't seem to matter - at the right moment, things will naturally fall into place. And I call it destiny. =)

I also dated my ex for 5 years and were married for 1.5 years before I asked him to leave and get a divorce.

Greg and I were friends first for a year and a half before we admitted our feelings for each other and became 'exclusive'; 10 months later he proposed. We will wed about 2 weeks before our 2 year anniversary.

We dated a little over 3 months before he proposed. We will be together 4 years on the 25th! Yay!
