    We dated for 13 months and were engaged for 13 months! I looked back at the calendar and counted it out in weeks, and our engagement was shorter by 3 weeks! We dated for 58 weeks and were engaged for 55 weeks.

    Umm...tough one. We technically got engages YEARS ago but never planned anything. From the time we actually decided to start planning a wedding, engagement was shorter. But from the time he actually proposed, dating was way shorter.

    Engagement. We will have been together 6 years to the day when we get married, and our engagement will have been 1 year, 10 months roughly. 4 years and 2 months dating before we were engaged.
