engagements

well i asked my wife to marry me 1 months into going out. we was engaged for 2 years + before got hitched and now we're a happy family with a 8month old boy. if people are engaged longer it's a good thing. you need to know its the right person these days and people shouldn't just get married for the thrill of it. i wouldn't feel like crap, i think us men wouldn't. on the other hand i would see why females would find this upsetting but if you love someone so much waiting doesn't matter. ~Joey

i think its upto the couple on how long to be engaged, for many couples now it is fiancially based...as no wedding is cheap anymore, so it maybe that the couple are saving up for the wedding at the moment

I was engaged for a year. I have never heard that 3-4 months is the typical time. I have also never met anyone who was engaged for that short of a time. I could have never pulled my wedding together that quickly. I would not ask my fiance to move the wedding up over what someone else has said. I would not let someone else make me feel badly either.

well.. ive been engaged for almost 2 yrs now.. being engaged is nothing really.. its jsut a step that thehuy normally takes when he wants to take that step with you further.. and u can be enagaged for 4 yrs.. its all about the person and of they can afford a wedding..good luck

I've been engaged for about a year now, and been with my fiance for 6 years. We're planning our wedding for either this year or next. It all depends on the couple and what they're comfortable with! Don't let what others think get to you! It's your relationship and as long as you're happy, then that's all that matters!

It would depend on his reasons. If he wanted a long engagement due to financial reasons, I could understand that. However, if we were engaged for a long time and I saw him doing nothing to plan the wedding, I'd sit down and have a talk with him. We would have to pick a date, because I would not want to wait that long.

hey this is really a long period and how r u waiting for such a long period ?? this is really a crap sort of thing. actually engagement is just done to say that now onwards we are of each other and marriage is the bond so if u r engaged for long then u have to wait for the things and then u will wait for so long then it is not a good thing. u should ask ur fiancee to set a date for wedding soon coz this is not going to help u anyways.
