How long an engagement?

Duckford20, 14 July, 2011 at 19:48 Posted on Planning 0 50

Think this has been asked before but cant find it on search. We've had an 18 month engagement, which we thought at the time would take ages to come round. We seem to have blinked and we're down to nine months, time is going so fast! So just intrigued at how long other people's engagements have been?

    We will have been engaged for a year and two weeks by the time we get married. Really I wish it was less though and we were married already!

    Engaged exactly one year after we first met, we will be married one year, one month and three weeks (and 3 hours 26 minutes if you want to be technical for the start of the ceremony...) later.

    We got engaged 3 years in, getting married just under 2 years from the engagement, so we'll be on our honeymoon on our 5th anniversary ?

    We got engaged April 2006 and will be wed in Feb 2012 so almost 6 years. It was always going to be a long engagement as we were both young and had not been together long, and I think at the time it was really just about making a commitment. We have only started to plan and save in the last 18 months.

    We got engaged on 12th August last year & got married on 16th April this year, so just over 8 months. We didn't want a long engagement, just enough time to book it, make our invites, go dress/suit/ring shopping and organise a few little extras. To be honest, i was more than ready for the day to occur when it did!

    I've only just got engaged but i've been with my OH for 7 years in november

    we're getting married next august

    so a 14 month engagement.

    we decided to wait until we were fiished having children before getting married (our first was a suprise early in our relationship and our 2nd took alot longer to concieve than we'd hoped) the only reason we're waiting until next year as it'll take that long to save up / pay for it

    Together for four years and a bit when we got engaged, then engaged for 10 months and now married Smiley smile

    Originally the engagement was going to be a year and 9 months but we got bored of waiting and had no reason not to bring the wedding forward!

    We will have been engaged for 1 year and 1 week exactly when we get married! H2B wanted a longer engagement whereas I didn't see the point of waiting and putting it off especially as we're no spring chickens either of us! ? We will have been together almost three years by the time we get married ?

    We will have been engaged 5 years and 5 months by the time we marry, ideally this would've been much sooner but we were still living at opposite ends of the country when we got engaged so had to save up to buy a place together and then replenish those savings for the wedding! Didn't stop me joining Hitched back in 2007 though! ?

    We wanted it to be a year and ten days (for sentimental reasons, as we got engaged 10days before our 'first date' anniversary) but as out venue was so busy, and we didn't want to wait two years and ten days, it ended up 20months and 5days - for no particular reason. it felt like ages away and I was disappointed that we didn't have it Sept this year, but it has flown in and now I don't know how I would have organised everything had the wedding been two months from now.
