How long were you engaged for before you got married?

my husband and i knew eachother for about a year before we started our relationship, and then about a year after that he gave me a promise ring so it wasn't so much like engagement, just the promise of engagement to come. we got engaged about 2 and a half years after i moved in with him and married about 6 months later. we've now been married 9 happy months, and hun, i'm also 18.

I think you are way too young to get enagaged. I have a few friends that were engaged before the age of 20 and wanted to wait 4-5 years to get married. None of those relationships turned into a marriage and they were together several years at that time. Being 18 is too young to be tied down to one person. I am not saying you won't end up with your boyfriend, but play it by ear.

I was engaged to my wife for 3 years. (well close to three years) Married for one :) It's something which I'm glad to of done, even though I am young. It's the right choose for us.. cya ~Joey

I was engaged for two years, and the relationship didn't work out. I like the idea of being engaged for a year or so but not 4 or 5, that's too long to wait. It is a good idea for you guys to wait a little while long cause college changes people.

I was engaged for less than a year before I got married. That was over seven years ago and three children ago. I think the length of engagement really depends on the couple. One thing is for sure. If you have any reservations about marrying your partner, you should hold off until you are sure.

I've known my husband more than 12 years. We decided to have a real date about 3 years before finally decided to get married. So basically, I know my husband quite long enough to make me said yes to his married proposal and that we've both mature enough to take responsibility to start our own family. My dear linzmcwilliams, you are both 18 years old...so you still plenty of time to prepare thing before you decided to take your relationship to the next level and I don't see anything wrong about getting engaged....wish you all the best!!!

When I married my first husband we were engaged for about 10 days before we got married! My partner and I have been engaged for almost 10 years and still have no plans to get married soon! It is all about what feels right to the couple involved - it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks honey! xxx

I was engaged 6 years before I got married. You have been with your boyfriend 4 years, which is a long time. Since you are very young to get married, I think waiting until your around 25 years old would be a better age. I think people change as they get older. good luck.

Well, i definately think u guys are too young for engagement... As in, 18 only... I guess its best to get engaged one year before ur marriage... Of coz, thats just my point of view... But waiting four to five years is definately too long... U never know what will happened and what might happen in this four to five years... Besides, u guys are still pretty young, so theres endless possibilities right? I guess u guys can wait till a nearer date like maybe when its closer to 2-3 years? At least tts closer... But unless u are very sure hes the man of ur life and nothing will change ur love... Den why not, go ahead... ALl the best... =)

about 4 months but we know we were totally ready and we have been together going on 7 years now do not rush it be sure it is what you both want
