    Relatively average, I think. We got engaged April 2019 and are getting married October 31, 2020.

    Would prefer a little on the longer side (but not to long lol). Our engagement will be almost a year to the day (engaged April 2019 & getting married April 2020), so I think it's pretty average.

    LONG - We've been engaged since April 2018, so by our wedding this May we'll have been engaged for two years and a month!

    Long (18 Months) we paid for everything ourselves and didn't want to burden ourselves financially or compromise on our big day.

    I would say long. The purpose of the engagement was to be "official" before living together. So engaged in 2016, married 2 and a half year later.
