13 months. My parents got engages after 6 months. Married 3 months later and 23 years later are still going strong.

About a year I think.

I had moved in after 3 weeks, pregnant by 3 months (not planned), engaged after a year (ish), married 2 years after getting together.

Just over a year-- literally the moth after we celebrated our 1yr together. I knew by 6mos though (if not earlier)- it took time for us both to "let down our walls" after our past failed relationships (plus, we'd both been single for a LONG time when we met)... but I think that actually helped us- cause we knew what we wanted. Plus, we just "fit" better than anyone else I've been with.... on all levels.

When we talked about moving in- I simply said, I'm not going to be a live in girlfriend. So if you want to move forward you need to know that- and he proposed 3mos after I moved in Married 6mos later! And 6 wedding anniversares later, we are still happy Not all day ever day! But we are lucky to have found one another!

Four years and still waiting.

Has he shown any indication that he'll ask? Perhaps he feels 9 months is too soon? Hope he asks soon anyway, hopefully he won't keep you waiting

We joke about it, but neither of us are "wedding" people, or thats what i thought! I told him marriage wasnt top of my prioritys, but the more time i spend with him, the more i want to say my vows!! Eeeek.

Just the other day, i called him by his surname (Mr. Blah), & he said "dont lie to me, what just went through your head, did you just say "Rebecca Blah" in your mind?" & i said "yeh!!" So he knows i think about it, he could hear the cogs whirring!!

Has your OH shown any signs of proposing?Do you want to get married?

A proposal could be imminent then

He did ask me but he took it back (who does that?!) and he then later said he wasn't even sure why he asked. I want to get married but he doesn't. I have doubted our relationship because of it.

3 months...and we were still in high school LOL! People all thought we were nuts. we've now been together about 14 years, married 12 yrs. When you know, you know I guess.

5 months. We were 16/17.
Got married 2 years later and going on year 6 now.

 

[Bevziibubble]

About 4 months. Been married 3 years this year

 

[hayz_baby]

Just under 7 years.... lol...

Tbh there were a loyal of other reasons why we didn't get engaged sooner, we both knew pretty much straight away that each other were the one and he knew I wanted to get married. I think what changed it a bit was seeing a few people get married and thinking that he wanted that for us and that he wants us to all have the same surname. Plus with his ltd income it took a while for him to save for a ring. The past 2 years I had referred to us as engaged to be engaged!

 

[LoveCakes]

5 years lol but we got together at 17 and I wanted to finish uni and wait until we could actually set a date. We're together 12 years this year.

If we'd gotten together in our 20s it probably would have been 1-2 years

I wonder how Cheryl Cole will get on.

 

[lau86]

6 years, but we got together young so weren't really in a position to get married before then

 

[Leliana]

After about 15 months? I was only 18 though (17 when we got together).

We didn't get married for a further 8 years though!! Will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary this year

 

[izzlesnizzle]

2 years with my DH before he popped the question. My mum and dad were only together 6 mths when he proposed and they've been married 47 years and my friend got engaged on her 3rd date, married 3 mths later and 3.5 yrs down the line they have a baby girl and are more in love than ever. So it can work!
