So, from Mrs Magic's thread, how long before first meeting and marrying?

For us it was 20 months from the time we first met until we tied the knot.

How about you?

    3 years and 360 days from the day we met to the day we married, but we weren't together for the first of those years.

    9 years - and 1 month from our first date.

    But we met years before that, at school.

    25 months. It sounds like ages but it felt quite quick!

    I knew I'd marry him on the first date ? Obviously I didn't mention it to him ?

    Ummmm, from first meeting to the wedding was about 15 years! Needless to say we were only together in the last 2 years and 9 months... Although he did ask me out a few years before and I said no, oops!

    Met in Nov '95, finally went on our first date in June '96. Got married June '05 (not quite to the same date!). So, we'd been together for at least 9 years by the time we got married. His Mum still didn't think I was right for him. ?

    Six years between when we started going out with each other and when we got married. We knew each other for six months before we started going out with each other, so six and a half years altogether.

    We met sometime in 1999, got together on 03.02.01 and married 06.07.08 (everso slightly twee!) so we'd known each other 9 years, together for 7.5 when we got married ?

    We first met in September 1997 (i was in a car that nearly ran him over - being driven by my boyfriend at the time!) we were mates for quite a while then me and the guy I was seeing split up and he helped cheer me up and generally got me through. We got together in February 1998, moved in together in March 1999, bought our first flat together in February 2001 and got engaged in August 2001. Got married in April 2003.
