    Four years Smiley smile We met at 17 though, no doubt it would be shorter if we'd met later in life.

    From when H2B and i hooked up he pretty much never left my house lol, of course he wasn't unwelcome either. So we never really dated. Though we had spent a year like this and then he proposed last valentines day. x

    A year officially - would be just under 2 years if you counted our 'casual encounters'!

    I had just broke up with a fella of 3 yrs and didnt want a relationship.

    We will be together 3 and half years when we get married ?

    Hmm.. We met in August, started seeing each other in Sept. Spent Fri-Mon with each other every weekend (he lived 100miles away), he moved in in november and we got engaged in Dec. Getting married after a year. Always said I'd NEVER do something like this but when you know, you know.. (yes, everyone seems to think we are mad!!)

    About 2 years officially, although we'd been discussing it after the first year we were together already. We'll have been together for 3 and a half year when we get married.

    We were together for almost 4 years before we got engaged, and it'd be 19 months (and 1 day! lol) from engagement to marriage - I wanted it to be sooner but we thought it'd be lovely to do it on leap year's day so we have to wait for it to come round!

    OH proposed after 3/4 months of dating but, due to one thing and another, we weren't able to announce it and organise the wedding until a year and a half later. It was VERY frustrating! We've now given ourselves 3 months from "proposal" to wedding. I think we're mad.

    A year to the day of our 1st date. Whilst we were on holiday supposedly to celebrate our 1 year anniversary - needless to say when he popped the question it was the best anniversary present EVER!! We're getting married two years to the day of our 1st date. We're fast movers!!

    My parents were together 4 months and engaged and married a couple of months later. They worked every day of their marriage together and were married 45 years before my dad died in October 2009. When you know you know :-)

    9 years (last September, it's 10 years now!). Yes, that's right! We got together when I was 19 and he was 22.

    We have lived together for at least 6 years, so I don't think you would call that dating!

    To be honest I was ready like 6 years ago! Still, got what I wanted in the end (a surprise proposal, a beautfil ring and a fiance who is more excited about the wedding than me!).

    Officially: 6 months.

    We knew one another for around 4 years prior to us getting together but none of my friends or family knew him during that time so it was a MASSIVE shock to everyone when we got engaged. When I told my parents I got no congratulations from them. My Dad's exact words were "What do you want me to say?"

    I was with someone else for 8 years before my H2B and had only been split with him for 9 months when H2B popped the question. H2B was still married to his now ex-wife too. Everyone thought it was a big rebound situation but I just knew he was the one for me and I have never been happier. We will have been together officially for 2 years when we tie the knot.

    His are very happy but have also been happily married for years and no divorce in his family. Mums ok. Dad's not so much! But he's on his 3rd marriage! and lots of bitterness so kinda expected it too. Hope by the time we are married they will have come round!!
