marriage

I'd say as long as it takes to plan the wedding. Of course, even though getting engaged implies a definite intention to actually get married, a lot of engagements break up and some people are less confident about getting married than an engagement suggests. So the people concerned should wait until they really fully understand what they're undertaking and know for SURE that it's what they want. If that's no concern, I don't see a need to wait for anything but wedding arrangements.

this varies from couple-to-couple...some don't need a lot of planning time, and others do. me, personally, i think i'd like at least a year's time in between.

it depends,i got we were engaged for a month and got married ..some my freineds have had long engagements..finance is also mater of concern..big concern actually..

ooops!!!!im 19...i have to travel a very long period for around 5 years to get married.. anyway after engagement proposal the bride or groom can wait upto 2 months, this is my opinion.. happy to respond..happy mylotting..

It depends on how long you need to plan the wedding and how long your family needs to be ok with it. I was engaged for 2 years, my husband knew that he would marry me the day he met me, he just had to convince me. So I count all that time, they year he spent convincing me and the year it was official. I know people who have been together since highschool and are waiting til they are 21 to got married (3 years after graduation plus four years of dating in school) It really depends on what the bride and groom want, I do not think that any of the older rules are in use anymore (one year of engagment)

Well, it depends on many factors. My cousin sister waited for three weeks. Another cousin had to wait for one and a half months. It is usually the arrangement problems faced by the people who set this thing up. Don't worry and be patient. Afterall, engagement is over right? Regards, AJ.

I think it is different for everyone! I know many people that had a long engagement so that they could save up money for a big wedding. My sister had a long engagement so that she could graduate from college before they got married. Married or Single can make a big difference for financial aid! I had a very short engagement. We were engaged only 3 weeks before we got married! We both knew that we wanted to get married. We both wanted a simple wedding. So we simply made it happen. I dont think there is any right or wrong amount of time to wait. It is all about the 2 people getting married and what they want!

i got engaged 1 and a hlaf years ago and we are still arranging the whole wedding thing think its going to be at least another year yet, it depends on your finacial situation really, things really started moving after i have our daughter as i did not want to waddle down the aisle but now am pregnant again so plans have been put on hold for now

In my opinion, you shouldn't wait at all! what's the purpose of waiting anyway? you love each other, your parents/relatives get to know each other.. i do not think couples ever need this "break" to make their final decision..
