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?

    Just over 9 years for us...met him through my ex, we became really good friends. Eventually we were both in a place where we were single at the same time, and I finally confessed how I felt.

    Well, we met in 1990 but didn't get togther till 1993. We then got married in 2005, so all a bit of a whirlwind really ! ?

    I obviously don't take after my grandparents. I recently learnt that they met and married within 6 weeks ?, and that my grandad was on the rebound from someone else. They were together over 50 years though.

    We met September 1999, got together August 2001 (though on and off for a few months before that), and got married June 2004, so 4 years 9 months from meeting and 2 years 10 months from being a couple.

    My parents got engaged less than 6 months after meeting and married in less than a year

    We met in October 1997 and started seeing each other in November. We got married in October 2007 after being engaged for 15 months. We'd been together 9 years and 11 months. We met through living in the same student house so never had the whole moving in together thing.

    About 9 years. ?

    He claimed it was love at first sight, but i held out for 7 years for a better offer - and then realised one wasn't forthcoming.?

    Now i wonder what on earth i could've wanted more in a husband. Bless him.
