Age and engagement length?

I am really curious after reading so many threads how old everyone is and how long their engagement / relationship is going to be by the wedding day? I'm 37 and our total engagement length with be just over 3 months, and we will have been dating exclusively for just under 5 years.

    We planned a 13 month engagement for budgetary reasons and per my mother's request. She was adamant about us being engaged for a year. I was 26 when we got engaged and DH was 35. We ended up being engaged for about 3.75 months. We scrapped our big wedding and had a private ceremony when my mother stopped all chemo and radiation treatments. I think as long as you are both on the same page about what you are thinking about marriage, the length of the engagement isn't so important (as long as you aren't delaying for budgetary reasons. Then it's super important).

    I'm 40, he's 44... we were friends for a year before dating, then dated a year and 2 months before getting engaged and then a year long engagement. We are getting married on our 26 month anniversary (which is not why we picked the date).

    I just turned 30, FH is 32 going on 33 and we've been together 12 years off/on. By the time we're married, it'll be 14 years to the day we met (I'll be 31, almost 32, he'll be 34, almost 35).

    ETA: Forgot to add, our engagement will be just over two years.
