First date to married was 16 months. We knew each other for over a year before that…was dating his friend. We will have been married 15 years at our anniversary next month.
12 years? A good chunk of this was a LDR where the airlines made a LOT of $$ off of us. I got sick, moved out here and we got married 4 years later. 2004-2012 we did the LDR. Moved here in 2012. Engaged and married in 2016.
Just under 5 years, but I was 19 when we went on our first date, so any shorter would not have been okay with me. Barely 24 sounds like a baby to me now.
For us it was 7 years, plus two years of friendship before that. But we were HS sweethearts who got engaged within a year of graduating college, so we were babies.
Similar for us, too. HS sweethearts; together 8 years before wedding, married 13 years ago.
