We got married on the 2 year anniversary of our 2nd date. We got engaged right before 1 the year anniversary of our 1st date. This is the second marriage for both of us.
I dated my first husband for 5 years before we got married and ended up getting divorced after almost 7 years (granted we were college sweethearts), so I was kind of like "fuck it" this time around with regards to how much time to put in before getting married. Plus I wanted another kid.

J and I have been together since 9/2017. We're both ambivalent about getting married again but we do want to live together, blending families especially w a highly volatile child like R complicates things.
I dated my late xh from 3/2001 until he proposed in 1/2005 then we got married in 3/2007 and divorced in 9/2013. We met when I was 26, he was 31. We knew people who had dated, got engaged, got married, and got divorced in the time it took us to get from our first date to wedding date. Once I turned 30 (8/04), I was getting real antsy about the relationship as we had been living together for 3 years and had a 4th dating anniversary looming. NYE 04-05, I made a deal w myself, no ring by NYE 05-06 I'm out. I want marriage and kids and if he's not on board by then, I'll find someone who is. He proposed 11 days later.
We dated 8.5 years before we married. We had both been married before and didn’t know if we would ever get married. We’ve lived together for years though.

First date August 2003. 1 day before I moved away for four years of university so mostly all LDR until 2007. Engaged August 2009, after two years of living together. Married August 2010.
We’ve been together since we were 18/19. Last year we crossed the threshold of having been together for half our lives. Ahhhhhh.

We met at the end of Oct 2004 and got married April 2007, so 2 years and about 2 months. We were engaged for a year and 7 days. We were both in our 30s when we met.
Barely a year from first date to our wedding day. Maybe even only 11 months? We got married in March 2005 and I want to say our first date was March or April 2004.
We were babies when we met (17 and 19). Started dating about a little over a year after meeting. Engaged after 10 months - married almost two years later.
We have been together 21 years now and married 18.

First date in mid-May, engaged in Dec, married the following February, so 11 months. (2nd marriage for both of us in our early 30s) We’ve been married for 11 years now.
My first marriage we met in college & dated for 4 years, were engaged for a year, and divorced a little less than 3 years later.

It was just over 5 years for us. We dated for over 2 years in college, then moved in together after college while dh attended med school and I attended grad school and worked with the plan of getting engaged. We got engaged a year later, and had a 2 year engagement due to timing/money (we weren't ready to pay for a wedding the 1st summer after getting engaged, and I was working as a teacher and wanted to have the wedding during the summer so then it made sense to wait until the next summer so waited a full other year). We've been married 14 years.
