    Dating was shorter at just under 9 months. But I knew I wanted to marry him after about 7 weeks. Smiley winking

    Our engagement will likely go on for a couple of years yet, due to us being long distance.

    Engaged, but not by much. We dated for almost exactly a year and a half, but we were only engaged for a year and two months.

    We had been friends for 3 years and 4 months when we started dating, dated for 3 years and 8 months before getting engaged (our 7 year mark of knowing each other), and will have been engaged for 1 year and 4 months when we get married (also our 5 year dating anniversary)... We will be married in 17days!!!!

    My engagement will be shorter. We're getting married next year and before we were engaged, we were together about 4 years.

    We were only 5 months together when he popped the question (got engaged exactly 23 days ago). If I find an available venue for our 10/10/2020 wedding that makes the engagement longer 😂
